There are at least 2 big problems with this.
1. Does this have any external accountability or oversight?
Closest I see is being able view your report but first thing it asks for is an employer instead of asking for information for identifying an individual: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employment-data-report https://employees.theworknumber.com/employment-data-report
Somewhere out there is an unemployed person being rejected from jobs or not getting interviews because this service is providing an incomplete or erroneous employment history. It’s critical that services like this have a means of both easily identifying and rectifying errors.
2. Equifax offers the option to delete or freeze your data but what does that mean for future employers looking to validate your employment?
Employers that lean too heavily on this are going to reject candidates that deleted or froze their data.
Employment history verification is something the government is in a good position to provide.

Relax, you can give them any employer you ever had, not just your current one. To get my record I put in a previous employer who doesn't even exist as a company anymore.

- astura 4y agoThen none of your employers have reported to TWN.
- yosito 4y agoI've put in my last four employers and they say "No employers were found."
- louky 4y agoRE your first issue, I found this: >Step 2 • Log In First-time Users: If you do not have a user ID or password, you can call our Client Service Center at 866-604-6570 to request a copy of the report. Further down the page you linked. Ill be calling tomorrow to learn what fresh hell equifax has created. For me.

- yosito 4y ago> Closest I see is being able view your report but first thing it asks for is an employer instead of asking for information for identifying an individual Yeah, this was extremely frustrating. I'm trying to find my current and previous employer, and neither is even coming up on the search, so I can't verify my data.
