Overview

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.
