Employment Verifications

FARFETCH strictly abides by all data privacy regulations. We protect the confidentiality of our current and former employees.

Submission requirements for External Parties

If you are a recruiter, future employer, or background check agency seeking verification:

To process your request, you must provide a signed consent or authorisation form from the current or former employee. For security and legal compliance, requests received without this signed documentation attached cannot be fulfilled.

How to Submit a Request:

Please email your verification request, along with the required signed authorisation, directly to people.experience@farfetch.com.

Please allow 3–5 business days for data verification. Your official response will be sent once this process is complete.

Our Verification & Reference Policy

FARFETCH operates under a strict Factual Data Only policy. Official company references will only confirm the following details:

• Job Title(s) held during employment
• Dates of Employment (start and end date)

FARFETCH does not provide subjective feedback regarding an employee’s performance, character, salary history, or reason for leaving on behalf of the company.

A Note on Personal References

FARFETCH employees and managers may provide personal recommendations or LinkedIn endorsements to former colleagues at their own discretion. Please note that these are provided in a personal capacity and do not constitute an official company reference.

Official verifications must still be routed through the email address above.
