Information for the personnel officer: how to verify the authenticity of the diploma of higher education
When accepting a new employee to work is not superfluouswill verify his documents, even if by all criteria is an ideal candidate. Since the competition in the labor market is quite large, applicants strive to stand out at any cost, and most often - a brilliant testament to the graduation from the university. How to verify the authenticity of the diploma? What to look for? What about the "lime" candidate?
One of the simplest and most effective waysverification of the document - sending a request to a higher educational institution that issued it. Unfortunately, not always universities are ready to provide such kind of information and are often denied a request, referring to the fact that they can not disclose confidential information. In this case, there is no other way out, how to verify the authenticity of the candidate's diploma by writing an official request to the educational institution. The answer will have to wait about a week, but a reliable result is guaranteed. The only thing that complicates this method of document verification is that a potential employee must give written consent to this. In addition, the candidate has the right to know why the employer needed such information. The consent on a paper medium signed by an employee's hand is equivalent to an electronic document with a digital electronic signature or other analogues of a handwritten signature provided for by federal laws and regulations.
How to verify the authenticity of a diploma if the candidaterefuses to give his consent? It turns out that there is no such possibility, since information about the formation of a potential employee is personal data, and their disclosure without his permission is illegal. In this case, you can apply to the university and ask to confirm that such a diploma of higher education was issued without specifying who it is. To obtain such information, the consent of the employee is not necessary.
Check whether the providedcompetitor diploma of the university "lime", you can and by searching for his fellow students in social networks, such as "Classmates" or "VKontakte." This is not a very reliable option for obtaining reliable information, but nevertheless, for lack of others, it can be useful.
In the near future, the authenticity of documents,particular diplomas of higher education, can be verified in an electronic database, the creation of which is already under the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. There are facts that the authenticity of the diplomas of some people who ran for office in parliament was refuted when they applied to the university. Therefore, there is a hope that such a database will help uncover many deceptions.
There is another facet of confirmationthe authenticity of such documents: many fake diplomas were purchased at the educational institution itself, and therefore they were duly registered. Therefore, additional testing of the candidate for the availability of knowledge and professionalism will never interfere.
Outcomes
There are several ways to check the diplomahigher education. But in any case, even if the authenticity is not confirmed by the university, it is worthwhile to look at the candidate and make a decision not only on the basis of these data. It often happens that a person without a diploma is much better at work than a "red" graduate of a university. Here, the recommendations of previous employers and the verification of the security service for past offenses will help.
