Does HR verify education?

Does HR verify education?

When you’re applying for a job, it’s important to know that most companies verify your education history. The human resources department will likely do a complete background check including your educational background. It’s important to let the hiring manager know if you have a GED instead of a high school diploma, or if you’re currently attending college so you can continue with the hiring process.

Why Does HR Verify Education?

Companies take a big risk every time they hire employees. They need to ensure any new hires have the skills necessary for the job for these reasons:

  • Protect from law suits
  • Verify essential skills
  • Ensure honesty of applicant

If a staff member happens to injure another person because they didn’t have the skills necessary to perform the job, the company can be sued for negligent hiring. Human resource managers are responsible for making sure every applicant has the credentials to be hired. By checking the validity of an applicant’s claim to a degree or certificate, the dishonest candidates can be easily weeded out.

What Information Do HR Managers Request For Educational Verification?

Most HR Departments only verify as far back as your post-secondary educational history. If you’re in the process of getting a degree or vocational certificate, then contact the hiring manager and let them know about your current school status. The company can verify your major and how many credit hours you’ve completed. It’s also helpful to bring copies of your diplomas and transcripts for verification.

What Should I Do If I Don’t Have The Educational Background Required?

If you’re applying for a job that you have the experience for but not the degree, it’s worth talking to the hiring manager. Not every company requires a degree, especially small businesses. You may be able to complete the necessary coursework while performing the job.
