Global Screenings has published two practical resources covering education and employment verification across different countries.
The new guidance explains why international verification often requires more than reviewing documents supplied by a candidate and why response practices can vary between institutions, employers and jurisdictions.
Education Verification Across Countries
The education guide examines institution identity, qualification details, attendance, graduation and the status of the awarding body. It also distinguishes record verification from document legalization or equivalency.
Employment History Verification
The employment guide explains what former employers may confirm and why some organizations provide only dates and job title. It also covers agency work, company closures, mergers and self-employment.
Names, Languages and Records
Both resources address previous names, transliteration, local-language records and differences between candidate documents and direct-source responses.
Reporting Unavailable Information
A delayed or unavailable response should not automatically be described as a discrepancy. Reports should distinguish confirmed information, conflicting information and matters that could not be verified.
Proportionate Screening
The scope should reflect the role and the importance of the claimed education or experience. Not every position requires every qualification or historical employment entry to be checked.
