How Trace Anyone Verifies Employment Details
All enquiries begin by defining a specific goal or objective. We determine what needs to be confirmed, and therefore why we need to do so; this will help ensure that the investigation complies with the law and is proportional in scope. We develop an investigative plan (strategy) to verify your employment history in the U.K., using verifiable data points and corroborating those data points as possible.
A typical investigation may include:
Identifying and reviewing known identifiers and previous employment history;
Verifying sources through cross-checks;
Determining whether the same information exists in multiple data points;
Developing a clear conclusion supported by relevant background information;
We use this approach to help prevent false positives when attempting to locate employment history in the U.K. The approach also helps reduce the potential of taking action based upon obsolete data, which can often occur from doing an informal search.
What Is an Employment Trace and When Is It Used?
An employment trace is a formal enquiry that uses legitimate data source and verification methodologies to find your employer or verify your past employment history. The most common usage of an employment trace is when you do not have up-to-date contact information, i.e., you’ve moved to another job location, etc.
Examples of common employment traces include:
• Confirming your present employment as a basis for sending legal correspondence
• Verifying your work history for due diligence or compliance purposes
• Confirming your employer’s name and address for civil court purposes
• Supporting professional inquiries where accurate work history is essential
Since employment histories can rapidly become dated, if you attempt to locate your previous employment by yourself through open research, the results may be inaccurate. A professional employment tracing service will cross-check your initial findings and validate potential employment matches prior to making any determination.
Employment Trace vs Background Checks: What’s the Difference?
Employment traces and background checks are two different services that people may confuse with each other. The primary focus of an employment trace is to find out what a person is currently employed at or to verify previous employment history.
In comparison to background checks, which could also include many other aspects in addition to employment, employment tracing is primarily focused on verifying an individual’s current or past employment status. While both types of searches involve some form of verification, employment tracing is typically narrower in scope than a full employment screening, and therefore more cost-effective. Employment tracing should be used when employment status is the single most important piece of information needed. Recognising the differences between these two services will allow you to select the correct service based upon your objectives and avoid unnecessary costs.
What Information Helps Trace Employment History?
There is the possibility for even small amounts of information to be helpful. However, it has been proven that the quality of the information you provide will affect how quickly and deep you can dig into finding the information you are searching for.

Timescales, Costs and What We Can Confirm
We usually complete most employment tracing searches in 2-3 working days. The length of time depends on how good the start information is and if records are readily available. To do a full employment search we need to have the subject’s current address and/or contact details. If there isn’t enough information then we can tell you what is possible with the data we have, before doing the search.
Our employment tracing service costs £145.00 for each successful search and £75.00 for each unsuccessful search. Both of these prices cover the time and resources needed to conduct reasonable and proportional investigations.
The cost is always provided prior to undertaking a search and you’ll be aware of both the price and the outcome.
If a search is successful it could provide information about the subject’s current employer and their contact details; including the name of the department they’re employed by; their job title and position; that they are self-employed and if so the trading name they use; as well as their contact details or website; and finally if they are currently unemployed or retired.
We endeavour to obtain and verify all available information from the subject’s current employer or their former employers.
Available information we can try to verify includes:
The subject’s current employer name and address along with their primary contact details.
The department/team that the subject works in (if this is possible).
The subject’s job title/position.
Whether the subject is self-employed.
The subject’s trading name (where applicable).
The contact details or website associated with the subject’s current or past businesses.
The subject’s status as being unemployed or retired.
As with all our services the information we can find will depend upon the availability of information that we can verify at the time of the search and the results will be delivered in a format that will assist you in taking your next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Tracing
What is an employment trace
An employment trace is a service that can assist you to establish a person’s place of work (or confirm their status in relation to being employed) at present; it is also commonly used when the contact details of the person are outdated, or when the employer is needed for the sake of legitimate purposes.
What information do you need to start an employment trace
It would be ideal to have the subject’s full name and a current address/contact detail to begin the process. Generally, the more accurate the information you supply us initially, the sooner and more accurately the outcome will be.
How long does an employment trace usually take
Most employment traces are normally completed in a couple of working days. This time frame can vary based upon the currency of the information obtained and/or if further verifications are necessary.
Can you trace someone’s employment without a last known address
On occasion, yes. However, due to the limitations of the initial information supplied, the trace may take longer to complete and/or require more investigative techniques than a trace from an initial known address. In each instance, we will advise what is reasonable and achievable prior to commencing the trace.
What results can an employment trace provide
Subject to availability, we endeavour to obtain the person’s current employer details, position/role or indicate if they are self-employed/unemployed/retired. The result(s) are dependent upon the level of verification that can be achieved at the time of the trace.
Is employment tracing legal in the UK
Yes, providing the trace is conducted for legitimate reasons, and in accordance with UK Data Protection Regulations. All traces are conducted lawfully and proportionate.
Do you contact the person or their employer
No, employment traces are carried out through lawful/discreet means of research and as such, we do not make contact with either your subject or their employer during the course of our standard service.
What happens if the employment trace is negative
Should we be unable to verify the subject’s current employment details, we shall provide you with a clear statement regarding this. Although a negative result may be disappointing, it can still be very useful as it confirms that no reliable evidence of the subject’s employment status was established at the time of the trace.
