Verification of Credentials of Professionals.docx

1. Why is Verification of Credentials of Professionals with a Reliable Verification Partner so Important? Selecting and recruiting are two essential elements of a stringent process of developing a professional team in an organization. It becomes even more complicated when the applicants are from different countries. Verifying and checking the authenticity of these applications requires rigorous processes and a trusted screening partner. 5 reasons why you should choose a Verification Partner to screen your candidates: 1. Screening fraudulent professionals to protect your community It becomes a matter of national security when a foreign professional wants to work in a country. All the documents are mandatory for the application process. There is a need to check employment, education credentials and personal profiles thoroughly to ensure the professionals have the skill and competency to serve the community in order to protect and safeguard people. Most companies and organizations are not adept at verifying profiles at the deepest level when it comes to screening applicants and finding the authentic ones to recruit. A verification partner simplifies the process. From education certificates to professional licenses to good standing certificates, a reliable Primary Source Verification partner can meet the needs and empower the recruiting process. 2. Verification of employment details and experience The primary concern of organisations is that a professional applying for a responsible position or practising his current position in a foreign company should be a genuine one. The most significant part of the screening is the verification of experience. A candidate can obtain false certificates from unauthorised bodies to secure his new position. A company cannot risk its productivity and quality by hiring unchecked professional profiles. It can jeopardize the reputation of the organisation and also quality of services delivered. Hence, verifying the authenticity of experiences mentioned on a resume or application is a must. 3.
