Our education checks

Veremark carries out Education Verification check all over the world. Our role in the Education Verification Documents process is:

  1. Collecting valid proof of education from candidates during the application process.
  2. Minimising the need for manual communication between the applicant tracking team and candidates for document submission.
  3. Enhancing the efficiency of the education verification process.

We've made a few adjustments to the process, so going forward, it looks like this:

Step 1: Ask candidates for a proof of education

  • Label: "Do you have a copy of your transcript or certificate?

Step 2: Education Section - Document Upload

  • If the candidate selects "Yes" for proof of education for any employers, a dedicated document upload section will be displayed.
  • The number of document upload sections displayed will correspond to the number of academic achievements for whom the candidate needs to provide proof of education.
  • Each upload section will display the name of the institution and examples of acceptable education documents.

Step 3: Check Settings Page

On the Check Settings page, a new configuration option has been introduced.

This configuration option provides clients with the ability to toggle the requirement for candidates to provide proof of education. The following toggles are available:

  • On: Candidates are required to provide proof of education.
  • Off: Candidates are not required to provide proof of education.
