Employing people who have lied on their application or resume can lead to poor performance, financial losses, and a damaged reputation. Employment, education, and credential verifications are all important and each has its own important role. Employment verifications include dates of employment and job titles, while education verification covers educational institutions, dates of enrollment or completion date and degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Finally, credential verification is the process of verifying the professional certifications, licenses, or credentials obtained by an individual.
