What the Employer Establishment Search API does

Candidates sometimes list employers that never existed, or that existed under another name. The Employer Establishment Search API resolves a name or establishment code to the registered record, so employment verification starts from a confirmed entity rather than a phone number on the CV.

It also returns the establishment ID that links to the candidate's contribution history, tying the resume, the employer and the provident fund record together.

Confirms the employer exists

Catches fictitious or defunct companies on resumes.

Links to contribution history

Establishment IDs match the candidate's record.

Employer Establishment Search API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Employer Establishment Search API to their integration.

The response includes the establishment record and status; headcount figures are not part of the public record.

Very small employers may not appear. Profiden then routes the check to manual employer verification.
