CV comparison check updates for better employment verification
Accurate employment verification is critical for making informed hiring decisions. To improve the efficiency and clarity of employment history validation, we’ve made key updates to the CV Gap Check—now renamed CV Comparison Check—to better integrate with the Employment Check process.
These changes ensure a more seamless experience, providing structured analysis and eliminating standalone ordering confusion.
Challenges with the previous CV Gap Check
The previous version of the CV Gap Check operated as an independent check, sometimes causing inefficiencies when reviewing employment history alongside other background checks. Users faced challenges when:
- The check was not inherently linked to Employment Checks, requiring additional manual steps.
- The timeframe for comparison lacked flexibility, making it difficult to align results with hiring needs.
- The terminology (“CV Gap Check”) did not clearly convey the scope of the analysis.
To address these issues, we’ve restructured how the check functions within the platform.
Our solution: streamlined CV comparison check integration
The new CV Comparison Check now seamlessly integrates with Employment Checks, ensuring a more structured and efficient verification process. Key updates include:
- Integrated option – The CV Comparison Check is now part of the Employment Check section and can no longer be ordered as a standalone service.
- Pairing requirements – This check must be ordered alongside an Employment Check or bundled with other employment-related checks for a more cohesive verification process.
- Terminology update – "CV Gap Check" has been renamed CV Comparison Check across the platform to better reflect its purpose.
- Timeframe adjustment – The analysis now uses "years" as the timeframe for validation, with flexible configurations when paired with an Employment Check.
- Criteria builder compatibility – Existing configurations remain intact, ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting pre-set workflows.
How this benefits your hiring workflow
- More structured employment verification – By linking CV comparison directly to Employment Checks, hiring teams get a more complete and efficient verification process.
- Clearer reporting – The updated naming and structured timeframe analysis provide clearer insights, reducing ambiguity when reviewing employment history.
- Improved usability – Clients no longer need to order the check separately, simplifying the process and ensuring more relevant results.
Using the updated CV comparison check
These updates are now live and automatically applied to all relevant background checks. When ordering an Employment Check, the CV Comparison Check will now be included where applicable, with improved timeframe flexibility and structured reporting.
This enhancement helps hiring teams make more confident decisions, ensuring employment verification is both reliable and easy to use.

Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
