Increased Tuition Fees Will Mean More Fake Degrees

Degree mills are becoming an ever more common means of acquiring seemingly valid credentials. In a country like the United States where tuition fees are exhorbitant, fake credentials from degree mills are an easy way for job applicants to get a chance interview, and land a job.

The practice of operating degree mills in the UK is on the rise, and the proposed increase in tuition fees will further bolster a business providing false credentials. Degree mills make it their business to seem like viable institutions, and without the proper resources a verification of such a degree may come back clear.

To circumvent these difficulties, BackCheck uses an integrated network of educational institutions to provide verifications. When a new institution is added to the network, the institution is first verified before any degree can be vetted. Our experience with catching false credentials is extensive, and we strive to ensure that candidates have the skills they claim.

False credentials are yet another part of a good pre-employment check, and go hand in hand with the abundance of CV lies which pervade the job market today. Knowing whether an applicant’s credentials are viable is a key point in making a good hiring decision. Compared to the cost of hiring an under-qualified employee, a credential verification is a smart way to be sure you get the most out of your new hire.
