Ensure Your Employees Are Telling The Truth About Qualifications
We are all aware of how easy it is these days to get a 'degree' from a bogus university, and employers have to be careful when they are screening their potential staff for this very reason.
This is why qualification checks are becoming increasingly important for companies who want to ensure that their staff are genuine.
You only have to do a quick online search and you will find pages of so called universities offering degrees and other qualifications where the only commitment to getting the certificate is a financial one. Five years ago a famous television personality was exposed as being a bogus doctor when it transpired that her doctorate was purchased from an American company claiming to be a university. If somebody can pass themselves off as a doctor and end up presenting a television series, then it makes you realise how easy it is for anyone who wants to impress an employer with a fake qualification.
This is why a lot of companies are turning to education verification which is carried out by PeopleChecking. Their education verification process looks into the background of the candidate, as well as the institution where the qualification was awarded. If there is anything amiss with the qualification checks, you will be informed within five to ten working days, and you can inform the candidate that you will not be taking their application any further. The same standards are applied with reference checks and credit checks, so let PeopleChecking do the hard work when it comes to all background checks.
