Employment Screening and the Job Description Requirement
Updated on 31 March 2026

When Employment is the reason #
In the credit workflow, if Employment is selected as the reason for the search, the guide notes that the Job Description must also be uploaded.
Why this matters #
This is part of prescribed-purpose discipline. The reason selected for the search must match the actual business reason, and the related supporting requirements must be followed.
Good practice #
- Check that Employment is genuinely the correct reason
- Upload the Job Description when required
- Do not reuse employment-related outputs for a different purpose
- Keep your internal reference and Search ID for the case
