Verifications
Employment Verifications
When submitting information for Employment Verification, review the application and resume thoroughly. Keep in mind, resumes alone do not supply all the information needed, and are often ‘doctored’ to meet your advertised needs. Many past employers will only verify information we can supply. Therefore, it is important that the information we receive is complete, up to date, and accurate.
Remember, this is verification — The more information you can supply, the more we can verify.
Self-employment, temporary assignments and working for family are not considered viable employer references. We find information from these sources to be non-existent or biased
Education Verification
Most applicants are eager to supply college or continuing education information. This information may be misrepresented in order to receive more favorable consideration. Look for words like “attended” or “completed course work”, which implies possession of a degree when, in fact, this may not be the case. Surveys indicate that 30% of all job applicants lie about degrees received, institutions attended or dates of attendance. Vocational training, certification and professional licenses are often misrepresented.
Education Confirmation
Our default search is the highest degree earned or last institution attended. However, we will gladly confirm all degrees earned and all institutions attended when you specify this on your release. High School Diploma verification is also available, as is GED completion. Academic transcripts, GPA, or grades are not typically available.
Credential & Licenses
If your job requires an individual to have received special training, certification, education or a professional license, we can verify the information an individual provides. We typically get license type, issuing authority and dates of validity. Credentials, including CPA, FAA (pilot’s license), Bar Association Membership and most medical/dental licenses can be confirmed.
