Validation of Education Clause Samples

Validation of Education. As a standard practice, CMA’s IT Recruiters will call or email directly with the university or institution where the staff member’s resume indicates a degree was conferred. In some instances, our clients have required copies of actual diplomas, transcripts or certified letters from registrars. When required we will ensure copies are obtained and provided. As an additional measure, CMA’s background check process includes standard education checks which provides CMA’s Human Resources Dept. with a report including the following information:  Attendance dates  Name of Degree Obtained  Concentration  Name of School  Graduation Date CMA’s evaluation/qualification of candidates by our Technical Recruiting staff is detailed in the Pre- screening Methodology section above. Our technical recruiters initially evaluate candidates against requirements and then additionally setup technical screens with more senior IT resources to “Tech out” the candidates both during interviews and with brief question sets that provide a better understanding of each candidate’s experience and skills. As mentioned above, CMA has worked closely with State and City Agencies clients to provide an additional screening that allows CMA’s staff a review of preliminary requirements to determine whether marketplace candidates are a good fit for the Agency’s unique position requirements. While this type of interaction may not be part of the needs of Florida Agencies, we have found this level of review, in tandem with a close information feedback exchange with agency staff has provided invaluable insight and clarification on the requirements. We strive to establish CMA as a trusted partner to all of our clients and remain available to provide the best possible candidates to meet our customer’s requirements. CMA will incorporate the required Resume Self-Certification Form (Exhibit G) seamlessly into our Pre- screening process by requiring it be returned to our IT Recruiter(s) as part of the documentation they request from each potential candidate. We have experience in being flexible with our process as some State and City Agencies have similar requirements for additional documentation such as: Actual copies of degrees or transcripts, Right to Represent (RTR) forms or copies of IT Certifications.

Validation of Education. Education Validation is quite a crucial process and we take utmost importance in validating the same. We initiate this critical process by collecting information pertaining to certification number, the year of completion and the institution where the certification was issued with the location details. We then, share this information with a third party Background verification company to carry out the validation and verification process.

Validation of Education. Marquis Software human resources staff performs a resume verification to confirm job experience. Education is confirmed through review of course transcripts. Almost 20% of current Marquis staff were referred from Florida State University (FSU), Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU) and Tallahassee Community College (TCC) Information Technology professors and completed an internship at Marquis prior to being offered a permanent position. Therefore, the education was validated on paper, by personal reference from professors, and through on the job training during internship. We utilize significant resources to ensure that we are hiring the right individuals for Marquis. Ensuring that both education as well as technical skills meets our standards, as well as the other factors, contributes to our ultimate success and we do not take this role lightly.

Validation of Education. We use internet search and social media to perform preliminary education validation through LinkedIn. Third party vendor/tools are used to validate the educational degrees and certifications once a candidate is shortlisted for the job. We contact college/university registrar offices to verify candidate’s enrollment and degree obtained as noted in the resume. All local and international degrees are verified. We perform a detailed check to validate whether the colleges/universities mentioned in the resume are accredited. For non- US citizens necessary immigration and additional employment verifications are performed during this process. A standard criminal background screening is also performed to verify personal identity and criminal history.

Validation of Education. Confirm where, what and when the education took place and the status of the outcome or completion of a degree.

Validation of Education. Whenever an applicant is being considered for an open position at DCI and that position has educational requirements, that applicant’s education credentials are verified by one of two methods. First, DCI may contact the registrar of the school in question and verify the applicant’s enrollment and degrees earned. If the school’s registrar is unresponsive, we may utilize a third party verification provider (e.g. National Student Clearinghouse). We do not simply ask an applicant for a printed copy of his or her transcripts or degrees as those documents can be easily altered using graphic design software. If we find any misrepresentations or falsifications, the candidate is excluded from further consideration.

Validation of Education i. Checking for education records is part of the internal processes and procedures that the company has adopted. To ensure the quality of the potential employee, we send a Letter for Requesting Educational Records along with the Applicant Information Release Consent Form to the educational institution to verify the information provided by the applicant. ii. In addition to verifying educational records, we also use accreditation databases maintained by the US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education to check a school’s legitimacy when it becomes a potential issue

Validation of Education. Traditionally, we have accepted certified copies of Candidates’ transcripts as proof of valid academic achievement and attached them to our Proposals if allowed by the customers’ Statement of Work. We would then validate experience and education claimed during an in- depth technical interview. We later implemented a process which required a Candidate to sign our simple “Transcript Release Form” which is then forwarded to the Office of Registrar for each degree or educational units claimed by the Candidate. The Registrar generally processes our request for transcripts within 48 hours and mails the documentation directly to our office. Since this process takes a minimum of one week, we continue with the Employment Screening Process with the understanding that in order to be considered for the position the transcript must match what the Candidate is claiming on his/her resume. We’ve never had a customer insist that the transcript validation process be complete before we are granted an onsite interview, however, we internally require all claims to education and technical proficiency be accurate. The “Transcript Release Form” has since been replaced by our “Resume Self-Certification Form” as inspired by this RFQ. Consolidating the Candidate’s permission to release transcripts as well as agreeing to share their information for “verification and investigation purposes” makes good sense and is now a part of our vetting process.

Validation of Education. Potential PCG hires are required to authorize a background and education verification. PCG HR personnel submit the request form to PCG’s background screening vendor: Federal Background Services. Federal Background Services completes all requested verification checks and provides the findings within 3 business days. For employees hired for our Agency For HealthCare (AHCA) customer, those employees must pass a Level II Federal Background check which includes fingerprinting. These checks are administered by AHCA.
