Education Verifications Continued or Better Known as Reality 101

Last week I posted an article. The Process and Pitfalls of Education Verification, about the ins and outs of education verification.   I directed it toward recruiters and staffing groups as well as to human resources managers.  Among other things, I wrote about various instances where employment candidates try to fudge on their degrees.   I wrote about the different ways they may stretch the truth.

Alright, sometimes they just downright lie about having a degree when that isn’t the case.  As I noted in the article, sometimes they were enrolled only, the proverbial two years of college, and sometimes they never set foot inside that school.  While most degree verifications are pretty much a walk through, accessed either through the university registrar or a third party database, some can be problematic.
