Request Consent For Information From Previous Employer
Use a Request Consent For Information From Previous Employer 2006 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this previous-employer consent does
Request Consent For Information From Previous Employer is a written authorization allowing a named previous employer to disclose specified employment information to an identified recipient. The signer reviews the employer, recipient, information categories, purpose, and any dates or expiration terms, then signs the completed consent. With signNow, the sender uploads the form, places or confirms fillable fields, sends it to the signer, and retains the signed document with its audit trail. ESIGN and applicable state electronic-transaction law can support electronic execution when consent, intent, attribution, and record access requirements are satisfied.
Who uses this employment consent
Human resources
Human resources teams use this form to obtain permission before contacting a former employer about dates, title, compensation, performance, or separation details. They should identify the recipient, limit requested information, and preserve the signed authorization with the hiring record.
Screening and legal teams
Background-screening and legal teams use the consent to document the applicant’s authorization for a defined employment verification inquiry. The form should name the previous employer and disclosure scope rather than authorize unrestricted release of unrelated personal information.

Privacy pitfalls in employment consent forms
Including a full Social Security number or unrelated personal data exposes information beyond what the previous employer needs to disclose. A missing recipient, employer name, or disclosure category can make the signer’s authorization ambiguous. Sending the consent to an unverified email address weakens attribution and may expose employment information to the wrong person. Allowing broad internal access to signed consents can disclose employment history beyond the approved business purpose.

Troubleshooting previous-employer consent
Resolve field, identity, retention, and compliance questions before relying on a signed authorization for employment-information disclosure.
On the Business plan, upload the consent PDF, place signature and date fields, and send it to the signer. If the document requires repeated sending, Business Premium adds bulk send; confirm field assignments before distribution.
Business includes audit trails and legally binding eSignatures. Review the completion certificate and event history after signing, then preserve both with the consent. ESIGN and UETA require evidence of intent, attribution, and record retention.
signNow’s HIPAA compliance requires a business associate agreement when protected health information is involved. Employment consent alone does not make a workflow HIPAA-regulated; classify the information and parties first.
If the signer cannot open the form, check the email address, resend the invitation, or provide a controlled signing link. The sender should verify the recipient before enabling access to employment information.
Business Premium is listed at $15 per user per month when billed annually and includes bulk send. Business is $8 per user per month annually. Confirm the selected plan before sending repeated consent requests.
Electronic execution requires signer intent, consent to the electronic transaction, attribution, and a record capable of retention and reproduction. Consumer-facing records may also require the ESIGN disclosure under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
