A recent study by a leading MNC reveals fake life experience degrees on 700+ LinkedIn resume. Aren’t you worried about your employees faking degree?
Let’s face it, about 50% of employees worldwide fake their education and work experience in their path to pocket filling jobs. Since many employers mandate job related degrees or work experience for even applying for job positions, candidates stretch their education and work history as per the job in the hope that corporates won’t look for discrepancies.
Hence it has become the need of the hour for most corporates to verify all details stated by candidates through background screening. This background check is provided by many employee verification companies.
An employee verification company will help you improve quality of your hires by verifying the authenticity of ID, address, degrees, online certificates and work experience of employees. Having a background screening provider verify your candidate’s education can take the stress out of finding a match between the candidate’s alleged schooling and your position’s requirements and thus allowing you to focus on other important aspects of the recruiting process. This is important for the smooth functioning of recruitment process of companies.
One such employee background screening company is DEWII. It provides many background verification services like tenant verification, police verification besides employee verification. Being one of the leading background verification company in delhi and fast growing in this industry, it has ensured safety and quality checks for a large number of corporates so far.
Background screening will help you get to know your candidates by verifying their school, professional program and degree achieved that they listed on their application. For example, if the candidate has not yet graduated and has stated so, a background verification company should still be able to verify the major (if applicable) and dates of attendance. Some educational institutions may need consent from the candidate before releasing any information. But most of the institutes co-operate with background checks as it also effects the reputation of the institute indirectly.
Potential employers can verify the following candidate details using background check process:
- Candidate’s degree/diploma/online certificate
- Candidate’s credentials
- Graduation start/completion date or duration of degree
- Major/minor specialisation of degree
- Accrediting institution/body
- Candidate’s previous work experience
- Candidate’s social work/club memberships/life experiences
Any discrepancy will be detected and pointed out to the hiring companies by these verification companies and thus employers can avoid a catastrophy by eradicating the wrong candidates. By few clicks these companies verify all candidate details and provide results.
It usually takes 5-10 business days for completion of the process but it might differ based on cases and might even take weeks for verification. However, DEWII provides results within a very few days and this is the reason why it’s growing so fast in this industry. Quality of screening service and ease of doing business has made it trustworthy among various corporates. This has been made possible by integrating the latest technology for simpler background screening solutions.
So don’t wait to chase out the fake degrees from your companies. Hire the best verification agency and ensure you choose the right employees.
