Trust the qualifications behind every resume

Hire Performance provides you with the tools and information you need to acquire the most qualified employees. Our education verification process confirms that each candidate has the credentials and qualifications to be an asset to your business.

  • How Does An Education Background Check Work?

    Our education verification checks authenticate candidate’s education claims directly with registrars and administration offices. We compare this information to the claims made by your candidate and alert you of inconsistencies.


    By going directly to registrars to verify education credentials, we are able to identify any red flags so you get a complete, reliable picture of each candidate.

  • What Is Included In An Education Background Check?

    Our Education Verifications include a complete report of a candidate’s credentials, expertise, and qualifications—including degrees, certificates, and diplomas. This allows us to help you identify applicants with fabricated education history, credentials from unaccredited institutions, or false documentation.


    Each report compiles the following information:

    • The highest level of education completed by a candidate
    • Degree or degrees attained
    • Graduation dates for each degree attained
    • Institution names from where the candidate acquired the credentials
    • Inconsistent or fabricated data

    The report will provide your business with legitimate and verifiable information to make the best decisions when making your hiring decisions.
