A Reprise on an Article About Employment Education Verifications

Education verification is a big part of any employment screening program.  Education background checks serve to verify whether your job applicant actually graduated from the college or university and obtained the necessary skill sets or background to fulfill the responsibilities in the position you, the employer is offering.

Because the economy is problematic and the job market is highly competitive, more and more employment candidates are claiming degrees that they don’t have.  Some, upon verification, reveal enrollment only.  And in some cases, the candidate never even set foot inside the school.

Consequently, we at Corra Group get a fair amount of diplomas that are bogus.  They are either from non-accredited diploma mills or they are counterfeit diplomas that have been Photo Shopped.

As a background checks service, I continue to write about this subject.  Find below a link to an article I wrote not that long ago.   It is well worth reviewing.
