13 Feb Verifying Past Work Experience
The hunt for a new job can be overwhelming and the desire to get ahead of the competition may drive a potential candidate to fabricate their resume. In addition, many employers are in a hurry to fill an open position and may just take that resume at face value without verifying the candidates experience, skills or actual salary.
Making a bad hire by not comparing a candidate’s resume to the actual information reported through the background check process can be a very costly mistake. Employment verification can confirm actual hire and end dates, salary, job responsibilities and even reason for termination. It can help uncover information that a potential candidate may have falsified to leverage a higher salary.
Working with a leading background screening provider such as Reliantcy helps employers in choosing those best suited candidates. The job market can be a tough place to be. Verifying a candidate’s past work experience is a valuable tool to truly know who you are hiring.
