Since many job applicants make false educational claims, education verification and academic background checks have become increasingly critical in protecting an employer against hiring risks.
Many employers conduct a background verification process for hiring; however, most still fail to verify applicants’ claims about educational achievements in parallel with the increase in resume fraud cases. It should be remembered that education and training background are the key components to rely on an employee’s capabilities and future on-the-job success.
CV and Background Verifications are legal in Turkiye, provided that they comply with the regulations outlined in the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK). Employers can conduct education verification on potential employees, but they must obtain the candidate’s explicit consent form with a Letter of Authorization (LOA) before initiating the process.
Given the importance of the issue, the Society for Human Resource Management recommends that companies receive external professional Education Verification services only through direct contact with the schools and issuing authorities (IA) during the hiring process.
Due to increasing competition in the business world—even for a low profile—employers are looking for at least a bachelor’s degree from job applicants. This situation encourages candidates to consider exaggerating their academic accomplishments and employment history—or even flat-out lying about them. Hence, it is evident that many candidates could purchase fake diplomas from illegitimate universities, known as diploma mills, to increase their chances of getting hired.
