Education Verification

Educational qualifications are a valuable tool that highlights competencies of the candidate. For many positions, education qualifications form a pre-requisite to obtain license for the position. However, research suggests that about 53% of all candidates have been known to inflate their academic credentials and other information on their CV's.

Applicants have been know to refer universities they may have attended, but never graduated from. Dates of the courses attended can be altered to suit the job positions they have applied for. Further more, there is always the chance that the University from which the candidate graduated is not an accredited institution. Hence, verifying the education history of candidates have become an important part of hiring decisions.
