Smart Screening, Smart Hiring
Along with employment history, education is a top area where applicants falsify information. Some applicants will go so far as saying they graduated from a particular institution when, in fact they never attended a class there. What is most commonly found though, is that the applicant actually attended the school and may have been very close to graduating, but for whatever reason did not have enough credits for the degree.
Our staff of licensed private investigators will contact the school's registrar's office to obtain verification. We suggest verifying at least the highest degree completed. The last name of the consumer at the time they attended school is needed to obtain the verification.
Other information verified may be:
- School attended
- Dates of attendance
- Field of study
- Degree earned - if any
- Date of graduation or last attendance
Limitations of this information: Delays may occur if the school is closed for breaks or summer vacation. Sometimes there may be a delay if an authorized release or fee is needed. Some schools outsource their data to third parties. We will contact hem on your behalf and an additional fee may be involved. Employers need to be aware of "diploma mills" that grant worthless degrees. Data Facts has a process to verify if a school has been accredited and then will proceed to look for diploma mills. If a school cannot verify data, the consumer should be given an opportunity to explain before assuming they have lied since there can be an explanation for discrepancy.
