Background checks and employment screening

[jbunns1]

How do employers verify the education/colleges that you put on your resume - during the job hiring process? Please be as detailed as possible.

Most of them don't bother.

Others will send a letter to the School/College asking them to confirm when the person studied there, how long for etc

If they are that fussed about verifying your exam grades, they usually ask you to supply a copy of the certificates.

Employment screening companies typically use two different ways to perform a background check verification:

1) Manual verification - here an employee of the agency performing the background check will contact the institution (either a university or a previous employer) via telephone or mail. This physical confirmation typically occurs after written consent is provided by the job applicant. For more information about manual checks, you should visit http://www.hr.com


2) Web-based verification - With the proliferation of the internet, there are many tools that can be used to verify a resume. If a university website has a posting that confirms the record, this could be enough for a background check. There are also websites that perform automated screens of public available sites like http://www.freeemploymentscreening.com or http://www.monster.com

The bottom line is that there are many ways to verify a resume. You should ask your employer which screener they use and then follow to determine their particular process.

Hope that helps.
