Employment verification should protect worker privacy.
Trustory is built around a consent-first model. Employers can request access to verified employment history, but workers decide whether full records are released, why access is granted, and for how long.
Workers see the request before records are released.
A request should clearly show who is asking, why they are asking, and how long access will last.
We would like to verify your employment history as part of our recruitment process.
Verified employment history is valuable, but it is also sensitive.
Trustory helps employers verify work history without turning worker data into an open database. The worker remains at the center of the access decision.
Private by default
A worker's full employment history stays locked until the worker approves access.
Purpose is visible
Workers should see why an employer is requesting verification before making a decision.
Time-limited access
Approved access can expire, requiring a fresh consent request for continued viewing.
Audit-ready decisions
Requests, approvals, denials, disputes, and record changes remain traceable.
Trustory separates public trust signals from private employment history.
A public TRU-ID lookup may show basic trust indicators, but detailed employment records remain protected. This gives employers a starting point while preserving worker control over sensitive history.
How worker consent works in Trustory.
Consent is designed to be understandable to workers and useful to employers, recruiters, and verified institutions.
Employer requests access
A verified institution or recruiter searches a TRU-ID and sends a consent request with a purpose, message, and expiry period.
Worker reviews the request
The worker sees the institution identity, verification purpose, message from HR, and the access duration before deciding.
Worker approves or denies
If approved, the employer can view the authorized employment history. If denied, the full record remains private.
Access expires
After the access period ends, the employer must request consent again to continue viewing full history.
A stronger model for workers, employers, institutions, and regulators.
Workers
Control who sees sensitive employment history and approve only institutions they recognize.
Employers
Gain trusted records while respecting privacy and creating a stronger hiring audit trail.
Institutions
Create verified records responsibly under a clear access and consent model.
Regulators

Verification becomes intrusive.
- ✕ Workers may not know who accessed their history.
- ✕ Sensitive records can be overexposed.
- ✕ Employers may lack a clear permission trail.
- ✕ Trust between workers and institutions weakens.
Verification becomes transparent.
- ✓ Workers see the requester and purpose.
- ✓ Employers receive approved, trusted records.
- ✓ Access can expire and be requested again.
- ✓ Decisions remain traceable for accountability.
Common questions about worker consent and privacy.
Trustory is designed to help organizations verify workforce history while respecting worker dignity, privacy, and control.
What is worker consent in Trustory?+
Worker consent means that an employer or institution cannot view a worker's full employment history until the worker approves the request. Public trust signals may be visible, but sensitive details remain locked.
What does the worker see before approving?+
The worker sees the requesting institution, verification purpose, employer message, request date, and access duration before deciding whether to approve or deny.
Can employers keep access forever?+
No. Trustory supports time-limited access. Once consent expires, the employer must send a new request for the worker to approve again.
Can a worker deny a request?+
Yes. Workers can deny requests from institutions they do not recognize or trust. Denial prevents the full employment history from being released.
Why is consent important for employment verification?+
Employment history is sensitive personal data. Consent helps balance trusted hiring with worker dignity, privacy, and data protection principles.
Build trust without turning worker history into an open database.
Workers can create a Workforce Passport. Institutions can become verified and request access responsibly through Trustory.
