| Verification of education
qualification is a primary criteria for entry-level applicants.
Impressive or relevant academic credentials definitely give more
credence to the hire. Articles like
Reality Check
talk about how 'fudging academic qualifications seems to have
become a national pastime' and how even powerful politicians and
leading industrialists are not untouched by it!! |

| Mistakes on the CV could be an
oversight or plain carelessness, but
" three mistakes are
unlikely and effectively mean that these CVs are bogus."
What is alarming of course is the "increasingly brazen nature of
these applications" as these candidates pose serious threat for
companies who hire people who have set out to deceive from day
one. |

| In cases of entry-level recruitment
delays in Education Verification can be a major spanner in a
background screeners works. Entry-level recruitment for BPO's is
a number game. Companies recruit in large numbers and at
frequent intervals with new process deals being signed at one
end and the high-level of attrition at the other. With
background checks largely mandatory for US and UK processes,
screeners find keeping to turn-around-times a challenge.

| The mechanics of running an
Education Check are simple. The relevant college is contacted to
verify details of the course, the duration and the completion of
the said course. For cases where the college demurs, the
University has to be contacted. In most Universities, the
verification process is defined and a charge is levied but the
process is time consuming. |

| The road blocks in Education
Verification are the inordinate delays and unwillingness on the
part of authorities to be forthcoming with information. With
background screening companies racing against shorter
turn-around-times, verifying education with unhelpful
authorities is a hurdle which needs to be worked over. Verifying
the education of candidates sometimes proves to be the
bottleneck especially with some Colleges and Universities
refusing to co-operate or causing inordinate delays. As a
burgeoning background screening company, AuthBridge has set up
processes to circumvent challenges as these. |
| |
| In the US, a non-profit
organization is the nation's trusted source for educational
record verification.
|
| |
| As background screening gains
credence in India, the day is not far when a trusted resource is
available for the specific purpose of verification of not only
details of education but of criminal violations and misconduct,
financial impropriety etc. |
