When a business A partners with the work number and another business (b) needs a verification of employment to hire a prior employee of the company that does partner with them(business A) they want either the candidate or the other incoming company business b) to pay a fee...so what you telling me is that they are putting a financial hinderance on someone getting a job! How is it the candidate who is looking for work or the incoming company who is trying to help this persons financial responsibility. It is unethical! If the work number wants to charge fees to the companies they partner with them fine buttons is absolutely wrong
