Education checks that confirm the qualifications candidates claim
Education checks confirm the highest academic qualification a candidate has achieved, so you're not relying on a CV alone.
HirePass verifies each qualification in one of two ways: directly with the issuing institution, or by authenticating the certificate itself. Our system checks the document for signs it was generated by AI or edited after it was issued.
What's verified
- Qualifications achieved and grades awarded
- Educational institutions and dates of attendance
- Confirmation from the issuing institution
- Certificate authenticity, including AI-generated or edited documents

Education check questions
How is a qualification verified?
Either directly with the institution that issued it, or by authenticating the certificate the candidate uploads. HirePass checks the document has not been created by AI or altered, and records the result in an audit-ready report.
What happens if a certificate looks altered?
We'll notify you and help you ask the candidate for further information using our guided templates, so the issue is resolved fairly and documented.
Can I add education checks only for certain roles?
Yes. Create different check packages for different roles, so senior positions can have comprehensive checks while others stay streamlined.
