What Is a Education Verification?

Education verification confirms that a candidate's claimed educational credentials — degrees, diplomas, certifications, and professional licenses — are legitimate. With diploma mills generating an estimated $7 billion in annual revenue and studies showing that 30% of resumes contain education fabrications, verification is essential. VerifAI queries the National Student Clearinghouse, contacts institutions directly, and uses AI to identify diploma mill credentials and accreditation fraud.

Why Education Verifications Matter

A study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 53% of job applications contain inaccurate information, with education being one of the most commonly fabricated areas. Hiring someone with fake credentials can result in professional liability, regulatory violations, and reputational damage — especially in licensed professions like healthcare, law, and engineering.
