Why It Matters

Why Conduct an Education Verification Check?

Education fraud is the most commonly detected form of candidate misrepresentation across India and APAC. HireRight’s 2023 Global Benchmark Survey found that 91% of Indian employers now conduct education checks, with 43% regularly uncovering discrepancies in the credentials candidates declare.

Fake degrees, forged marksheets and misrepresented certifications are a widespread problem, particularly in IT, healthcare and finance sectors where specific qualifications are a prerequisite for employment. A single bad hire based on false credentials can expose your organisation to significant legal, financial and reputational risk.

InteleScreen verifies qualifications directly with the issuing institution, ensuring results are accurate, defensible and compliant with applicable data privacy regulations.
