CV Verification and Independent Referencing

In a 2008 Survey conducted by The Risk Advisory Group, some 50% of all of the 3800 CV’s audited had irregularities - an increase of ten per cent over the last year.

Therefore, to be confident of the accuracy contained within a candidate's CV we thoroughly recommend our Independent Referencing and CV Verification service.

Our service offering ranges from a basic identity and employment history check to a full premium check. The service is available as a 'menu based' option and costs range between £60 and £200 + VAT dependent on the thoroughness of the verification, The most frequently requested check costs just under £120+VAT per candidate, a small price to pay for complete peace of mind.

Our partners, both of whom are divisions of major credit checking organisations, will check and verify aspects of the candidate's CV (subject to permission from the candidate).

We typically recommend arranging the CV verification at the point of arranging the second interview as the service, dependent on the thoroughness, can take between three and ten working days.

At the premium level our Independent CV Verification and referencing service includes:

Verification of the candidates name and address
The candidate's date of birth (where possible)
Memberships of Associations, Professional Institutes, etc, including membership dates and qualifications obtained
Secondary Education, verifying schools attended, attendance dates, qualifications obtained (post 1985 as schools were not required to keep this information prior to this date)
