Education Verifications

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 Identifying falsified résumés “BackCheck was informed by the college’s records department that they were unable to locate any record of the applicant. Since BackCheck was not provided with the applicant’s student number, we contacted the applicant to request this information in case the school was mistaken. When the applicant was contacted, she admitted that she never attended the school and had “mistakenly” stated on her résumé that she had.” Recognizing 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 proceeded to verify two other credentials provided by the applicant which also turned out to be false claims.” Read more stories like this one!
