Background Screening Products

Education verifications let you confirm the academic claims your applicant is presents to you on their application.

Academic accomplishments help to shape the type and amount of job duties delegated to a new hire, as well as determining an appropriate wage and benefits package.

The importance of a degree is not lost on individuals who may exaggerate or fabricate an educational history to gain an unfair edge in the final selection process. Hiring individuals with falsified or inflated educational records can be damaging to a company's reputation through lawsuits, loss of public trust and negative publicity.

If your organization uses educational background as a key component of the hiring process, it is vital you include this report as part of your pre-employment screening process.
