New Talent Report™ Solution Helps Speed Up
High School Diploma Verification for Employers and
Screeners
ATLANTA, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Equifax® (NYSE: EFX) has introduced an
education verification solution designed to help employers and
background screeners verify high school diploma data during the
pre-hire process. The solution, Talent Report™ High
School, provides instant verification of available U.S. high school
diploma data through an exclusive integration with the National
Student Clearinghouse®.
Many industries and job roles require a high school diploma,
which means employers or background screeners need to verify a
candidate's educational credentials before offering a job.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, industries that
require a high school diploma have more projected openings over the
next decade than any other education level, which offers employers
a unique opportunity to draw from this talent pool.
By automating and improving access to data that is often hard to
verify, Talent Report High School provides instant access to
available high school diploma data. It can streamline the
verification process for employers by using a single, centralized
data source to enable them to hire applicants faster and to provide
a unified ordering experience.
"Talent Report High School is another significant step toward
our goal of helping employers and background screeners make more
informed hiring decisions while expediting the pre-hire
verification process," said Bart
Lautenbach, Senior Vice President of Talent Solutions at
Equifax Workforce Solutions. "Thanks to our partners at the
National Student Clearinghouse, this new tool helps avoid the
existing highly manual verification process for high school
diplomas by providing instant access to data — ultimately helping
employers hire applicants quickly, improve employee retention, and
streamline hiring processes."
Talent Report High School is powered by the TotalVerify™ data
hub from Equifax and the Equifax Cloud™. It provides 24/7 access to
high school diploma data through the Equifax partnership with
the National Student Clearinghouse, which offers immediate
verification of more than 9 million diplomas from over 4,700 high
schools.
Talent Report High School is available now. For more information
