The Importance of Education Verification as a Vital Step in the Hiring Process
Today’s hiring climate finds more jobs than employees.
Employers are scrambling to find the right fit for their job openings. Jobs are going unfilled because there just aren’t enough qualified workers to do them. Education verification can confirm an applicant’s education claims and help you qualify job candidates faster.
A few questions to ask yourself when hiring:
- Can your HR staff tell the difference between a real degree and one bought on the internet?
- Can you really afford to skip verifying your candidates’ education?
- Does your HR staff have the time to make education verification phone calls and to follow-up as necessary?
- Are you sure your HR staff is up-to-date on the privacy laws associated with education verification?
Brett McIntyre, owner of 216 Marketing and the Digital Project Manager at CrossCountry Mortgage, Inc., answers these questions and more in his blog post for Business 2 Community1.
