Verifications

Protecting organizations by screening applicants at every level.

Why Order Verifications?

Verifications, including employment, education, professional licenses, and references help employers ensure that what an applicant has listed on his or her resume or job application is true and that they have the qualifications required for the position.

Our 100% US-based Hire Image verifications team has extensive experience in obtaining verification data Hire Image provides five attempts at hard contact for verifications. Hard contact includes:

Directly speaking to the confirmed source
Directly faxing to the confirmed source
Directly emailing to the confirmed source
Leaving a voice message for the confirmed source at their extension.

A source is confirmed when we have located the correct entity (i.e. school/college, business entity, certifying agency) and identified the correct person to respond to the request.

Verifications help avoid hiring someone who has been less than truthful from the start, along with helping employers understand more about who they are hiring.

Verifications may be subject to access fees that are charged by the source and are subject to change without notice. Access fees are in addition to Hire Image’s price per verification. International verifications may incur international calling and faxing charges.”

Types of Verification Searches

Applicant Contact

Applicant contact, including activity and gap verifications, provide insight into gaps or missing employment periods the applicants did not provide on their application. Our trained staff will contact your applicant, if necessary, to obtain additional information regarding gaps in employment or proof of employment for current employment marked ‘do not contact’, employers no longer operating or non-responsive employers. We act as an extension of your Human Resource Department to obtain missing data quickly and efficiently to reduce your involvement with obtaining the necessary information and missing verifications.

Education Verification

Employment Verification

An Employment Verification confirms an applicant’s employment, including dates of employment, positions, and additional information where permitted by law and available such as: salary/wages, performance ratings, reason for departure, and eligibility for rehire.

Professional License Check

This search verifies issuance of any professional licenses claimed by an applicant. A research team member contacts the appropriate licensing agency and verifies the validity of the license, the date issued and, if applicable, date of expiration. Most importantly, we verify any disciplinary actions brought against the license holder. If a disciplinary action is found, we request a copy of any filings. (+Verification Notes listed below).

Reference Check

Professional/Personal reference checks provide insight into an applicant’s character, abilities, and performance through conversations with provided references that are personally or professionally affiliated with the applicant. A research team member contacts each reference to conduct an interview based on your company’s standard questionnaire. Reference questions can be customized to your company’s specifications. Information obtained from personal and professional references can be a valuable tool during the hiring process. (+Verification Notes listed below).
