AI Employment History Validation Agent

How Cassidy automates using AI

Step 1: Trigger on ATS stage change

The Workflow activates automatically when a recruiter advances a candidate to a designated stage—such as pre-submittal validation or pre-offer—pushing the verification order into Cassidy.

Step 2: Capture consent and permissible purpose

Cassidy sends the candidate a stand-alone FCRA disclosure and collects e-signed authorization, while validating that the end-user has certified permissible purpose before proceeding.

Step 3: Execute waterfall verification

Cassidy queries instant payroll networks like The Work Number first, then attempts permissioned payroll connections, triggers automated outreach to HR or payroll contacts, and falls back to candidate document uploads—all orchestrated based on employer coverage and TAT targets.

Step 4: Normalize and reconcile data

Returned fields—start dates, end dates, titles, employer names—are mapped to a standard schema, with Cassidy resolving aliases, flagging discrepancies, and applying precedence logic across multiple sources.

Step 5: Adjudicate against client rules

Cassidy applies your adjudication matrix to set each entry as Verified, Verified with discrepancy, Unable to verify, or Pending candidate action—auto-clearing clean matches and routing exceptions for Human-in-the-Loop review.

Step 6: Deliver report and compliance artifacts

The Workflow outputs a consolidated employment history report with flags and exceptions, plus all consent records and audit logs, directly into your ATS or HRIS—ready for adverse action workflows if needed.
