Work History Check Result
See what the candidate provided — and what the employer verified.
AuthNTick keeps candidate-provided information and verifier responses separate, giving authorised reviewers a clear evidence trail for each employment record. See what the candidate provided, what the employer confirmed, and where information differs — in one structured Work History Check Result.
Compare organisation, job title, employment type, start date and end date or current status. The result can show confirmed information, different information provided, unable-to-confirm information, reasons supplied by the verifier and relevant factual notes.
Differences are surfaced for review rather than silently replacing the candidate's original information.

The claim and the source
Compare candidate-provided work history with information an employer or authorised representative can confirm. The original claim stays separate from the verifier’s response, so matches, differences and unavailable information can be reviewed clearly.
Whether the person worked for or provided services to the named organisation.
The candidate’s role compared with the title the verifier can confirm.
Full-time, part-time, casual, fixed-term, contract, internship, self-employed or another described engagement.
The start date and end date, or whether the person currently works for or provides services to the organisation.
History coverage
AuthNTick helps candidates account for their work history across the required period. Current and previous employment records are combined to calculate coverage without double-counting overlapping roles.
Five continuous years of employment are not required. Five years is AuthNTick’s standard collection workflow, not a universal period prescribed by AS 4811:2022. Your organisation should choose screening scope based on role risk and its own policy. Discuss additional screening needs when requesting a quote.
Your work history covers the required five-year period.
Illustrative five-year window ending 19 September 2026. History coverage is separate from employment verification.
A period without an employment record is not automatically an adverse finding. Candidates can explain study, travel, time not employed, parental or carer leave and other legitimate periods.
Candidate-provided explanations are recorded as context and are not represented as independently verified employment. Genuine self-employment can be entered as an employment record with an appropriate verifier.
Each employer has its own recorded contact permission. Automated invitations and reminders respect those restrictions.
If contact details are unavailable, the candidate can say so and provide supporting information. This does not mark the employment as verified.
A structured request
From candidate consent to an authorised review, the workflow keeps the employment claim and the source response distinguishable.
The candidate provides employer details, role, employment type, dates and an appropriate verification contact, or indicates that contact details are unavailable.
The candidate reviews their history and makes the consent and accuracy declarations. Requests respect the recorded contact permission for each employer.
An employer or authorised representative receives a link to answer factual questions about the employment or engagement.
The verifier can confirm a detail, provide different information, or explain why it cannot be confirmed from the records available.
The Work History Check Result retains the original claims, verifier responses, corrections and limitations for authorised review as part of the organisation’s broader screening process.
Use your organisation’s records where available.

Factual evidence
Unable to confirm is not the same as a negative confirmation. A discrepancy should be reviewed in context rather than treated as proof of intentional misrepresentation.
The employer or authorised representative confirms the candidate-provided information.
The verifier supplies different factual information. Both versions remain visible for review.
The verifier cannot independently confirm the information, for example because records are unavailable or access is restricted.
Is this job title correct?
When a factual value differs, the verifier supplies the corrected title, employment type or date. A corrected end status can be current or a recorded end date.
If the verifier cannot confirm a field, the form records a reason. If the person’s work with the organisation is not confirmed, the workflow skips role and date questions rather than presenting them as confirmed employment.
Payslips, employment contracts, employment letters, separation certificates and statements of service can help where employer records or contacts are unavailable.
Candidate uploads do not automatically constitute independent verification. The result should identify the source relied upon and any limitation.
A Work History Check compares organisation, job title, employment type, dates and current or previous status. It is not a character reference or performance review.
A Reference Check can collect role-relevant feedback on responsibilities, performance, reliability, conduct and suitability.
Risk-based screening
AS 4811:2022 Workforce screening provides a framework for organisation-specific screening policies and processes. Screening scope should be proportionate to the role and organisation’s risks.
AuthNTick’s Work History Check is designed to support risk-based workforce screening processes aligned with the principles of AS 4811:2022. Candidate consent, structured employment claims, authorised verifier responses, separate source values and documented limitations support a reviewable evidence trail.
The organisation defines its scope and makes the employment or engagement decision. Using this workflow does not establish certification, endorsement by Standards Australia or a guarantee of compliance.

Responsible interpretation
Your response has been securely received by AuthNTick.
Work history results should be considered as one part of a broader screening process. Differences should be assessed in context, and material discrepancies may warrant clarification with the candidate.
Give material differences appropriate review, including candidate clarification and the source’s limitations. Submission confirms that a response was received; it does not mean every employment claim was confirmed.
Read the Work History Screening Services Terms
Provide your complete available history and declare that you have been in the workforce for less than five years. The period before your first employment is excluded; later gaps still need an explanation.
No. It records a limit on what the source can confirm, rather than a negative confirmation or an automatic fail. The reviewer considers the reason, available evidence and any clarification needed.
It supports risk-based screening through defined factual questions, candidate consent, source attribution, recorded differences and reasons for unavailable information. Organisations determine the appropriate scope and retain the final decision. This is not a claim of certification.
It compares a candidate’s factual employment or engagement claims with information an employer or authorised representative can confirm, and records differences and limitations.
The workflow asks about the organisation or engagement, job title, employment type, start date and end date or current status. Confirmation depends on the source and available records; every field is not guaranteed to be verified.
No. Work History checks factual employment information. A Reference Check can collect role-relevant feedback about responsibilities, performance, reliability, conduct and suitability.
Five years is the period used by the current candidate workflow to track history coverage. The organisation should determine whether that scope is appropriate for its role, risks and screening policy.
AuthNTick’s five-year workflow should not be read as a universal requirement of AS 4811:2022. The standard provides a framework for organisation-specific screening policies and processes; the organisation determines its appropriate screening scope.
The candidate’s original value remains separate from the verifier’s corrected value. An authorised reviewer can assess the difference, source and explanation in context.
The verifier cannot confirm the detail from the records available. The response includes a reason, with an explanation required for Other. This is not automatically the same as an incorrect claim.
Yes. Candidates can record study, travel, time not employed, parental or carer leave, self-employment or another explanation. These explanations account for history and provide context; they are not independently verified employment.
Yes. Payslips, employment contracts or letters, separation certificates and statements of service can assist review, including when employer contacts are unavailable. The result should identify the source relied upon.
The workflow records a contact permission for each employer: Now, Only after I give permission, or Only when authorised by the requesting organisation. Automated invitations and reminders respect these restrictions.
Yes. The candidate can describe contract or self-employed engagements and nominate an appropriate authorised representative, such as a client, accountant or business partner. The verifier is asked whether the person worked for or provided services to the organisation.
The candidate can indicate that contact details are unavailable and supply context or supporting evidence. Alternative verification can be reviewed, with its source and limitations recorded. Direct employer confirmation may remain unavailable.
No. AuthNTick presents screening information. The organisation decides how to interpret it against the role and its screening policy, and remains responsible for the hiring or engagement decision.
