Prospects Hedd

Ensuring candidate's have been truthful about their qualifications in their applications is an important part of the recruitment process. But it’s not just another background check – the rapidly growing market in fake degree certificates means that degree fraud is a real risk for any business. It’s not enough to just ask to see a candidate’s degree certificate – you should always check its authenticity with the awarding university.
