BACKGROUND
As
an integral part of the recruitment process, candidates present claims in
their resumes / CVs as to past employment, academic and education
qualifications, membership of professional associations and licences as
appropriate.
To
take these claims at face value is to
fail to recognise the growing trend of falsifying such claims in an endeavour
to enhance employment prospects.
PRODUCT
Career
Verification Services ( CVS )
provides a documented independent
verification of claimed:
Direct contact is made with the appropriate source, information provided by the candidate verified and a report provided, confirming or querying
each
verified item.
You select the areas / claimed facts for checking - and the fee is charged
accordingly.
Verification is almost always available - should it not be
possible for a particular claimed fact, no fee is charged for that claimed
fact.
CVS
provides verification on facts from sources located in :
and structures it's fees to reflect the cost and difficulty in verifying
certain claims, particularly overseas.
PROCEDURES
To facilitate cost efficient and timely responses to your enquiries, we have
structured the attached Verification Detail Form (VDF) which is to be
completed by you in respect of each candidate and areas to be checked.
The VDF is then emailed or faxed to Career Verification
Services in Sydney and becomes the basis of our checking procedure.
It is important that the form accurately reflects the employment
history and qualifications claimed by the candidate, particularly the dates of
commencing and finishing employment, job titles and the dates of attendance
and graduation in respect of qualifications claimed.
Once our checking procedures have taken place, a copy of the
VDF,
complete with our verifications and comments as applicable, is returned to you
by email or facsimile. If you do
not have an email address or facsimile machine available to you, a postal
address is attached and the response will be made through the mail.

TIMING

FEE
STRUCTURE

history or qualification.
The
fee is structured in this way so that you can minimise overall cost whilst
ensuring that the key employment history or qualifications claimed are
genuine.

and the fee structure recognises the cost benefit of undertaking such a full
verification.

$50
per point checked, with a minimum fee of $150.

$500 for a complete check of employment history and qualifications.

Where outside New South Wales
or Queensland, claims of
employment history and qualifications are checked, the cost is $60 per
claim checked, to a maximum fee of
$750
for a full check.

International
verification fees vary in direct relationship with the difficulty of
the task(s) and are quoted on in each case.
-
A separate accounting is made for each candidate
verified in order that you can identify charges to a particular candidate.

Settlement terms: Fees are due and payable on receipt
of the verification of the candidate check.
