Equifax owns a company called The Work Number that runs employment verification services. They buy data and assemble what they think is true. It's currently only active in the US, but they're trying to expand into other jurisdictions.
https://theworknumber.com/
Employers, dates, and SALARIES are available for sale on this site.
American friends, you can and should freeze your work number details.
