FAQs
A qualification check, also called an education verification, vets the educational and academic information provided in a candidate’s résumé or job application against information in actual institutional databases and records. It involves verifying the educational history, enrolment dates or completion dates, and the attainment of degrees, diplomas, and/or certificates, as available.
A qualification check, also called education verification, verifies a candidate’s educational and academic history, enrolment dates or completion dates, and the attainment of degrees, diplomas, and/or certificates, as available.
All that’s needed is the candidate’s name and email or phone number to start the verification. Candidates will be asked to supply education details and we’ll take care of the rest. Of course, as with all background screening, nothing is initiated without the consent of the candidate.
The process for the candidate is simple. Here’s how it works:
- Request a background check or verification from our platform or your ATS
- Your candidate will receive a notice to complete the background check online
- While the qualification check is in progress, we’ll run other background checks as requested
- If there are any issues, we’ll liaise directly with the candidate on your behalf
That’s it! Once the information is obtained, the status is updated in your Certn dashboard.
The turnaround time for a qualification check depends on the responsiveness of the candidate and the sources/institutions, but Certn’s verifications team initiates the process within one business day.
