Turnaround Time: 2-3 Days
When hiring an
individual, companies
base salary packages and
positions on the
individual's education.
Failing to verify
important information
can result in appointing
unqualified people to
positions they don't
deserve, which in turn
affects your company's
ability to compete. An
Education Verification
confirms schools
attended, diplomas,
degrees & certificates
awarded, dates of
attendance, and
additional information
as available.
One of the most common
areas of resume fraud
occurs in the
embellishment of the
applicant’s education.
In today’s changing
economy, more positions
require advanced skills,
degrees and experience.
As jobs become more
competitive, it is also
very common for
applicants to exaggerate
their educational
history. Some of the
most frequent education
misrepresentations
include:
-
Different
Type of
Degree
(Associates
vs.
Bachelors)
-
Different
Major or
Program
- Attended,
but never
Graduated
Scope of
Verification: A
verification specialist
will contact the
institution that granted
the degree or
certificate. The
verification will
include dates of
attendance, degree,
major or program, and
graduation date, if
applicable. |
