What are Verification Vendors?

Verification Vendors are other company's services and forms that can be used to check your employees for various information.These vendors can be used for many things, beyond education and employment verification.

Below is where you can specify whether the individual New Hire requires a background verification or not. This is when a HR Specialist or Recruiter creates a new invitation.

Why are Verification Vendors important?

Verification Vendors are important to gain more specified information about the New Hire, as well as being able to easily integrate a system that is legally sound. The purpose may vary, but can be used for checking references, investigative services, affirmative action, educational background checking, employment background checking, and other services. These services are extremely important for protecting both your company and the employee.
