In our  People Lie! One Certain Truth on the Importance of Background Screening  blog, we discussed the fact that 78% of hiring managers have caught lies on resumes or job applications. Taking that one step further-how are they catching all of these lies? The answer is generally through verifications. With so much attention on criminal history, , and marijuana laws , we sometimes lose sight of how vital verifications are in the background screening process. As such, we thought it was time to look into verifying ‘s Top 10 Truths about Verifications: 1.Employment Verifications are the most commonly requested type of verification. They not only can confirm dates of employment, positions, job duties, the reason for termination (in some states), and eligibility for rehire, but they can also reveal insights into the candidate’s truthfulness, loyalty, work habits, and integrity.
