When a verification request is submitted, Truework initially uses the applicant's Social Security Number (SSN) to search for an immediate match within our instant data network, which includes over 35 million employees. If a match is found, the verification is completed instantly. However, if the applicant is not within our instant data network, we may need additional steps to complete the verification.
In such cases, we may utilize Truework Credentials, our new verification technology that allows applicants to share their verified employment and income data by securely logging into their payroll provider. This method is particularly useful for verifying 1099 contractors and other hard-to-verify employees, such as those working for government agencies.
By connecting to their payroll provider, applicants help us quickly and accurately confirm their employment and income status, ensuring a smoother and faster verification process. Truework Credentials can connect to over 150 payroll providers, including government payrolls, gig economy platforms, and custom-built payroll systems used by large Fortune 500 companies.
