Education Verification

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 sourcing information directly from Registrars, we guarantee the legitimacy of our education verifications.

BackCheck in Action - Education Verification   Identifying falsified resumes 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 resume that she had.     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
