Credential Checks
We verify every candidate’s qualifications through trusted document checks, background validation, and advanced identity screening.
Why Credential Checks MATTER
Hiring someone whose qualifications are inaccurate or falsified can expose your organisation to operational risks, reputational damage, and serious compliance issues. At VERIS, we help you eliminate these risks through accurate, trusted credential verification that ensures your workforce is truly qualified.
Our credential checks go beyond reviewing documents at face value. We validate academic degrees, professional certifications, and employment claims directly with issuing institutions and previous employers. This helps uncover discrepancies, identify misrepresented qualifications, and confirm that every detail genuinely belongs to the candidate.
This level of verification ensures you hire individuals who are capable, credible, and aligned with your organisation’s professional standards.
Credential checking is always performed with the candidate’s written consent, ensuring fairness, transparency, and compliance with regulations such as the GDPR, PDPA, and other regional data-privacy laws.
CREDENTIAL VERIFICATION
Credential verification checks help employers validate a candidate’s claimed qualifications, experience, and professional background to support accurate hiring decisions.
Education Verification
Verify academic qualifications directly with educational institutions. Education verification confirms degrees, diplomas, courses, dates of attendance, and completion status with recognised institutions or authorised bodies.
Employment Verification
Validate a candidate’s employment history and role details. Employment verification confirms employer name, designation, employment dates, and employment status, subject to local legal permissibility.
Professional Qualification & Membership Checks
Confirm professional licences, certifications, and memberships. These checks verify professional credentials with regulatory bodies or professional associations to confirm validity and standing.
Reference Checks
Obtain structured employment references to support hiring decisions. Reference checks gather employment-related feedback aligned to role scope, conducted in accordance with client.
Common Credential Risks We Detect
We uncover credential inconsistencies that may affect hiring decisions, ensuring accuracy, integrity and compliance.
False Degree Claim
Many candidates misrepresent academic achievements. We validate all qualifications directly with issuing institutions to ensure the claimed degree is authentic and verifiable.
Fabricated Employment History
We confirm each role, title, and tenure through trusted verification channels to identify inflated job titles, fake roles, or gaps in employment timelines.
Misleading Professional Licenses
Some applicants present expired or invalid professional certifications. Our checks verify license status, issuing bodies, and regulatory compliance requirements accurately.
Degree-Mill Certifications
Unaccredited institutions often issue meaningless certificates. We identify degree mills and ensure every qualification meets legitimate academic and industry standards.
Benefits of Credential Checks
Credential checks play a critical role in strengthening the integrity of your hiring process. By thoroughly verifying academic qualifications, employment history, and professional certifications, organisations can confidently distinguish genuine candidates from those presenting misleading or falsified information. This protects your company from costly hiring mistakes, ensures regulatory compliance, and helps maintain a trustworthy and competent workforce. With accurate credential validation, you reduce operational risks and strengthen overall hiring accuracy.
Beyond safeguarding against fraud, robust credential checks improve long-term organisational performance. When your team is built on verified, skilled, and qualified professionals, productivity increases, workplace culture strengthens, and decision-making becomes more reliable. A transparent screening process also enhances employer reputation, demonstrating your commitment to hiring ethically and responsibly. By partnering with a trusted screening provider, you ensure consistent, unbiased, and fully compliant verification across every candidate.
