What We Do

Three outcomes for every employer we work with

Offset costly legacy verification fees. We reimburse up to 100% of qualifying third-party employment verification fees tied to new hire background checks.

Modernize the employee experience around data release. Employees gain real-time visibility when their data is requested and more control over how requests are handled.

Take operational burden off your team. We handle verifier accreditation, release workflow, employee notifications, and compliance documentation.

Why This Matters

Two problems most employers
don't realize they have

Problem 01

Hidden verification costs

Employment verification rarely appears as a clean line item. It is usually buried inside background check invoices, bundled with criminal searches, drug testing, and administrative fees. Because it is treated as a pass-through charge, it rarely gets audited independently. Fees that once cost single digits now routinely show up at $95, $110, sometimes higher. For many employers, third-party verification fees represent up to 50% of their total background check spend.

Problem 02

Limited employee transparency

In legacy workflows, employees are rarely notified at the time their employment data is released. They typically have little real-time visibility into who accessed their information, when, or why. The result is a process that is legally permitted but not particularly employee-friendly.

The Solution

MyEmployment solves both

We reimburse your verification costs

MyEmployment reimburses up to 100% of qualifying third-party employment verification fees tied to your new hire background checks. Keep your current background check provider. Keep your current process. The fees you've been absorbing are offset from day one.

A more transparent, employee-friendly release process

When a verification request comes through the MyEmployment framework, the employee receives a real-time notification. They gain visibility into who is requesting data and why. They gain more control over how the request is handled. It is a more modern standard of transparency, and one employers can feel good about offering.

We handle the operations

MyEmployment manages verifier accreditation, the release workflow, employee notifications, and compliance documentation. The operational burden comes off your team. All inbound employment verification requests for your current and former employees are processed through our platform.

How It Works

The economics, in plain terms

You may be wondering how we can reimburse verification fees and offer a revenue share. Here is how the model works.

Your organization already generates inbound verification demand. Lenders, landlords, government agencies, and background check companies verify your current and former employees regularly. This happens regardless of who fulfills those requests.

MyEmployment becomes the source for those verifications instead of a legacy provider. We charge requestors a flat $29 per successful verification. That inbound demand generates revenue.

That revenue helps fund reimbursement of your qualifying third-party verification fees on new hire background checks, plus a revenue share back to your organization. You move from subsidizing the legacy system to participating in the economics directly.

Implementation is one routing instruction

You do not need a new background check company. Your HR team instructs your existing provider to route employment verifications through MyEmployment first. If a verification cannot be completed, the existing process becomes the fallback. Nothing operational changes. Nothing compliance-related changes. Only the routing changes.

The Financial Commitment

Revenue share, not just cost savings

Up to $500,000

per employer, year one

MyEmployment shares a percentage of inbound verification revenue with participating employers, up to $500,000 in the first year. This is in addition to reimbursement of qualifying third-party verification fees. The exact amount depends on workforce profile and verification volume.

Employee Experience

A more modern standard of transparency

Legacy verification systems operate in the background. Employees are rarely notified when their data is accessed and typically have limited visibility into the process. MyEmployment offers a better experience.

🔔

Real-time notifications

Employees are notified when a verification request comes through the MyEmployment framework. No silent access. No surprises.

✅

Visibility and control

Employees see who is requesting their data and why. They gain more control over how requests are handled, including the ability to approve a mortgage lender and decline a debt collector.

🔒

Freeze access

One toggle to suspend verification access entirely. Employees manage their data on their own terms.

📋

Documented audit trail

Every request, response, and decision is logged. Defensible documentation for FCRA compliance and emerging state privacy requirements.

Why MyEmployment

Founded by Bob Mather, who spent 30 years in the background screening industry, built and operated one of the nation's largest independent screening companies, and sold it in 2022. Bob was the industry source quoted in a 2013 NBC News investigation into how employment data is collected and sold. He built MyEmployment as a more transparent, modern alternative to legacy verification systems.
