What Education Verification Confirms
Education verification confirms degrees, diplomas and attendance directly with the school or its authorized records source. It protects employers from degree fraud and diploma mills for roles where education is a real requirement.
- Degree or diploma earned, and the field of study where available.
- Dates of attendance and graduation.
- Whether the institution confirms the credential at all.
What Affects Timing
Timing depends on how quickly schools respond. Schools that have closed, international schools, and records under a former name can take longer. Packages 5 and 6 average 2-5 days. Individual results can vary.
Compliance
Before ordering, the employer gives the applicant a standalone written disclosure and gets written authorization; SaffHire's invitation workflow collects both electronically. Employers remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and legal compliance.
