Verification Services
Verify Every Detail Before You Hire
Resumes can be polished. References can be selective. Credentials can be exaggerated. That’s why verification is a critical part of any thorough background screening program.
SureCheck’s verification services confirm the accuracy of a candidate’s history, credentials, and qualifications, ensuring you make hiring decisions based on verified facts. Whether you’re filling a safety‑sensitive role, meeting strict regulatory requirements, or simply protecting your brand, our verification process provides the clarity you need.
Our Verification Services
We offer a full suite of verification options to confirm professional, educational, and personal background details:
Time has changed
We complete verifications in line with FCRA standards, using a mix of automated and manual methods.
Education – $10
Confirms degrees, diplomas, and attendance dates directly with schools, universities, or accrediting bodies.
- First checked through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
- If not listed, we contact the school directly by phone, email, or fax.
- Three attempts are made over 3–4 business days, which may include requesting documents from the applicant (transcripts, diplomas) if needed.
- Clients can opt out of using applicant documents by contacting Customer Service, but this may delay or cancel the verification.
Employment – $8
Confirms past employers, job titles, dates of employment, and eligibility for rehire.
- If the employer uses The Work Number or another third-party service, we verify through that platform.
- If no third-party service is required, we contact the employer directly by phone, email, or fax.
- Three attempts are made over 3–4 business days, which may include requesting documents from the applicant (W-2s, pay stubs, offer letters).
- Clients can opt out of using applicant documents or third-party services, but this may delay or cancel the verification.
Rush Processing
All verifications are processed in the order received unless a $25 Rush Fee is applied. Rush requests are prioritized but still depend on response times from schools, employers, and applicants.
DOT Employment Verification – $12
Meets FMCSA requirements by verifying a driver’s past safety performance history, employment dates, and reasons for leaving with previous DOT‑regulated employers.
Professional License Verification – $8
Verifies professional licenses, certifications, and their current status, including expiration dates and any disciplinary actions.
Professional Reference Verification – $12
Conducts structured interviews with former supervisors or colleagues to assess work performance, reliability, and skills.
Personal Reference Verification – $12
Interviews personal contacts to gain insight into a candidate’s character, work ethic, and trustworthiness.
Military Service Verification – $12
Confirms branch of service, rank, dates of service, and discharge status.
Social Media Screening – $25
Reviews publicly available social media activity to identify potential behavioral red flags, reputational risks, or alignment with company values.
