Verifying Employment

All employment verifications are completed by a third-party vendor, The Work Number® from Equifax, which is a simple, quick, and more private way to help get your employment and income information to companies when needed. It’s available 24/7.

Employment and Income verifications must be completed online. Verifiers will be asked to register with The Work Number, if they have not already done so, at www.theworknumber.com or call The Work Number Client Service Center at 1-800-367-5690 for assistance.

The verifier will need the following information:

EAB Code: 33062
Your Social Security Number (which they must obtain from you directly)

Requesting a Professional Reference Letter

If you would like a former manager or colleague to provide a more detailed reference that includes the manager’s personal opinion about your suitability for employment, you must first make a request in writing releasing the Company from any liability for responding to the request. Here is a sample request sent to Talent.

To: EAB
From:

Employee requested to provide personal reference:

I hereby release EAB Global, Inc., its employees, agents, officers, directors, representatives, and shareholders from any and all claims and liability for damages related to or arising out of the furnishing of this information requested by me.
