| EV = MULTIPLE EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION
When Past Employer Contact Information is provided: This type of research is performed to look for gaps in employment, or misrepresentations of positions held. Our efforts will pursue current and past direct employment verifications with the focus on looking for employment gaps and title or duty misrepresentations. It will require that the manager complete an employment history form and give his signed consent. Due to the nature of this work, the employment history form will not ask for salary information, but will ask for specific duties, and whether or not management of others was part of their responsibility, and the reason for their departure. Typically we can verify company, position(s) held, and dates of employment. Employer's contact information and the manager's consent must be provided using an employment history form or similar.

| EY = DELUXE CREDENTIALS VERIFICATION
This type of research is performed to look for gaps in employment, or misrepresentations of positions held. We will also pursue the verification of any other credentials found in the biography.

A substantial, but limited amount of the investigator's time is budgeted for this pursuit. We cannot perform verifications on employers who by policy refuse to provide us information without consent or where our attempts at locating or contacting the employer fail. There are three levels credentials verification possible. First, we can produce a hard verification consists of obtaining a record of the subject's employment from an employment records database, or similar file for other credentials. Second, we can produce a "soft" reference to the past employer through regulatory records, corporate records, or media articles. Third, we can pursue direct past employment verifications. We attempt to obtain a verbal or written confirmation of past employment through direct contact with the employer or credentials provider. Typically, since we are not provided with written consent, or contact information on past employers, direct past employment verification is the least reliable, as much of our time is spent locating the past employers, and then pursuing the appropriate contact. |
