Verify Your Applicant’s Educational History

Verifying your applicant's educational history is an important part of the background check process. This includes confirming their degree, diploma, GED test completion, or current enrollment status. While this can be time-consuming, our ECS Verification team can simplify the process by directly confirming the education with the school or their authorized agents. Additionally, this verification checks the start and end dates of their education, enrollment status if the program is still ongoing, and the level of the degree or diploma earned.

By using our education verification services, you can be sure that the information provided by your applicant is accurate. As a result, you can feel confident that they have the qualifications needed for the role.

Why Is Education Verification Important?

First, education verification ensures you hire candidates with the right skills and knowledge for your company. Our degree verification services confirm that the applicant has the experience and qualifications listed on their resume.

Moreover, our GED verification and related services remove any differences between what the applicant claims about their education and the truth. In turn, this ensures you won’t hire someone without the necessary skills for the job. By using ECS, you can save time, reduce lost productivity, and avoid potential legal issues.
