Hey guys, I was wondering about something, how do companies actually check if someone’s college degree is legit? Like, what’s the process there? Has anyone ever managed to fake a degree successfully?

Indeed, in addition to criminal background checks, US corporations frequently conduct employment and education verifications. Information including your graduation date, diploma status, length of attendance, and other details can be retrieved via the background check and education verification. An employer may withdraw a job offer if it is discovered that a candidate is lying about their educational background. Verifying an applicant’s education and ensuring it fits the requirements of a particular position is often necessary, particularly when the candidate needs sponsorship to work in the US.

Companies confirm your degree by reaching out to the school you went to. They might ask for proof like a copy of your diploma or transcript. Some companies also use verification services that can access educational records.

Companies can actually check your college degree in a few ways. They might ask you for official sealed transcripts from the school, or they might contact the school themselves (with your permission of course). Some companies use special services that do the verification for them too. As for faking a degree, forget about it! Between transcripts, school contacts, and verification services, it’s just way too risky. Plus, graduation is an amazing feeling – way better than any shortcut.

They ask that you have the school submit them an official transcript.
