Schedule a DemoInvestigating 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.
Job applicants fake their experience certificates to demand higher positions and salaries. Some individuals who get fired due to unprofessional behavior or bad performance choose to hide such information. You are morally obliged to ensure that your current employees are not harmed by new entrants who are incompatible.
Our digital solutions carry out a hassle-free verification procedure which can detect any false information provided by potential employees.

It is a no brainer than sometimes job seekers give you references of someone related to their profession and not necessarily their superior or team mate from the previous organization. But do you actually have the time to call and verify about the person’s behavior and performance? How do you validate if the references actually exist and whether the contact details are true? We can only assume that every applicant would be completely honest. The reality, however, is different.
We cannot emphasize more on the need for reference checks as it prevents you from hiring a poor performer or someone with behavioral issues.
