Education, Employment, Professional License, DOT and Driving History, Reference Checks

Education Verification confirms the legitimacy of a candidate’s educational credentials. While most employers focus on the most advanced degree obtained, we can customize solutions to your specifications. Our U.S.-based Verifications Department contacts the relevant institutions to verify details such as these:

• Degree, diploma, or certificate earned
• Major and minor fields of study (if applicable)
• Dates of attendance (start and end dates)
• Graduation date
• Grade point average (GPA)

Employment Verification provides a detailed look at a candidate’s current or past employment experiences. Some employers will use an expensive third-party resource such as The Work Number. At SmartHRCheqs, we’ve developed a proprietary process to help customers avoid these types of fees whenever possible and still generate optimum results. Our team directly contacts previous employers to gather the following information for your final report:

• Job title or position held
• Employment dates (start and end dates)
• Salary information (with the candidate’s authorization)
• Eligibility for rehire
• Performance evaluations
• Teamwork and communication skills
• Reason for leaving employment
• Attendance records

Professional License Verification ensures the validity of a candidate’s professional licenses. We contact the issuing board(s) to confirm these kinds of details:

• License type
• Date of issuance
• Expiration date
• Current license status
• Any restrictions or disciplinary actions on file

DOT (Department of Transportation) and Driving History Reports provide a comprehensive overview of an individual’s driving record. These reports, sourced from all 50 states and the District of Columbia (with additional coverage in select locations), typically include the following:

• Traffic violations (types and severity)
• DUIs/DWIs (if applicable)
• Driving license status

Reference Checks provide valuable perspectives on a candidate from individuals familiar with their work ethic, professional skills, and overall performance. These references can include colleagues, supervisors, or previous employers.
