Fake education certificates are more frequent to find than you think.. As we know, the competition in India is very tough and for getting a job, there are nearly thousands of people who are being interviewed. Due to high number of Youth population, we have many schools and colleges and it is common that there are chances of getting a fake education certificate issued on that college or institution’s name.
It is being seen clearly from the data of “Fake University list” being published almost every year by various bodies around the country. From students providing fake records to get into Harvard University to thousands of candidates across India providing fake education certificate, the problem is real and demands immediate attention.
This possess a high amount of risk for the employer, for they may end up hiring a wrong candidate which effects the whole organisation’s efficiency and the coordination & ultimately the productivity of all the people working in the organisation. There is also another big opportunity loss for all those people who are eligible for the post but, they were rejected only because of the selection of the wrong candidate with the wrong or fake qualification degree.
The importance of an education check
For a given job, companies expect some level of qualification, skill-sets depending upon the education and his expertise depending upon his experience of a particular field, these are basic expectations of the employer. In some instances a wrong hire will lead to some serious problem like an unqualified medicine practitioner with a fake medical degree or a fake civil engineer in charge of a major construction project. While in other jobs it may lead to reduction of productivity of the whole organisation. This also forces the employer to go through the hiring process again in order to hire the right candidate. Education verification could help in preventing such scenarios.
Education Verification ensures the following:
1.That the qualification of the candidate is correct.
2.Candidate skills are verified.
3.The candidate being hired is correct according to the law.
A timely and thorough education verification will help you to save the whole organisation’s time and resource, it helps to provide an additional level of safety to the process of hiring ensuring only genuine and properly qualified candidates get hired in the job.
Why do most companies overlook an education verification
Given the pace at which the world operate today, many companies are falling short of time and the resources needed for the same, sometimes in the name of quick hiring the verification process gets skipped and it costs a lot afterwards. Background verification can take place anytime during the process of hiring, even during the probation period when qualification is one of the basic criteria of jobs, education verification must not be ignored.
