At the end of the Personal History Statement in POBITS the Candidate has the opportunity to download an Informed Consent Release Authorization which they can sign and have notarized. If they are able to scan the document, they will be able to upload the file as part of their record. If they are unable to scan the document, it will have to be brought to the Investigator to be scanned and entered into the system.

This is a key document because each reference who enter the system to complete a questionnaire will be able to review the document. This is especially important for previous employers. A previous employer will likely not be inclined to provide detailed job performance and disciplinary information with the Informed Consent Release Authorization but if they have it, they have no reason not to provide all known information on the Candidate.
