Investigating and assimilating information about an individual to ensure they meet your requirements is critical. In short, Background Screening Research estimates that as much as half of all resumes and job applications contain fabricated or misleading information. However, with our AI-powered 360° digital screening, we leverage AI agents to eliminate unqualified candidates and detect inaccuracies with precision. This reduces the likelihood of layoffs later, ultimately saving costs and time.
Most often, hiring mistakes can cost tens of thousands of dollars when factoring in recruitment expenses, productivity loss, and work that needs to be redone. With AI-driven background screening, it's not just about saving time and money—it’s about ensuring business safety and long-term success.
One of the most common areas where candidates fake information on their resume is education. Since you would require a background related to the open positions, many candidates may stretch their educational history in the hopes that you won’t check for discrepancies.
Now what if your HR manager ends up hiring someone who isn’t qualified for the job they applied for?
01 It can end up affecting productivity
02 It can cause you to pay someone who is incapable of delivering what’s assigned
You don’t want that, do you? At metapath, we verify the educational background of a candidate by contacting the universities, colleges, certification bodies, vocational schools, etc., to verify if all the information provided by the candidate is genuine.
To hire or not hire, that’s all you need to decide.
