Education Verification is a simple way to check the honesty and suitability of your candidates.

Direct Contact with Academic Institutions

Education Verifications authenticate candidates’ education claims directly with registrars and administration offices, many of whom know us well. We compare claims made by your candidate with information on the official files and alert you of inconsistencies.

Thorough Results – Honesty Matters

Ensure Accreditation

Each year, thousands of job candidates fabricate their education history, in a wide variety of ways.  Modern technology has given rise to Diploma Mills, which issue degrees based on “life experience” or simply for cash.  By going directly to registrars, we are able to raise the Red Flag and give you a reliable picture of each candidate.

BackCheck in Action - Education Verification   A Near Perfect Forgery caught by BackCheck BackCheck was conducting an Education Verification on an applicant for a client who claimed to have a Bachelor of Arts. After verifying the institution and submitting the file, BackCheck received a response stating that the applicant had not only not graduated, but had only completed 15 of 90 credits. As we had the diploma on file, we wanted to verify this information (perhaps they had 2 individuals with the same name, who were in the same program). BackCheck called the school and explained the situation, and upon further investigation it was discovered that the Diploma was a forgery. The forgery was a good one – they picked up on it because a couple of the signatures at the bottom looked suspicious!     Recognising Diploma Mills The applicant claimed he attended Canterbury University. BackCheck’s database indicated that there were two school’s by this name. One was a legitimate university and the other was a known diploma mill. BackCheck contacted the client for the location of the school to confirm which school the applicant was referring to. The applicant then sent in a letter meant to prove that the school was accredited. BackCheck was able to confirm that the school was not a legitimate institution. We then uncovered that two other credentials claimed by the applicant were false. READ MORE STORIES LIKE THESE
