Candidate authorization allowing a prospective employer to contact listed references and past employers, and to obtain employment and background information. Compliant with FCRA disclosure requirements.
The Reference Check Authorization is a ready-to-use employment & hr template you can send for signature in minutes. It is written for 1 signer (candidate) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers reference check, background, hiring, fcra, authorization, candidate. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
