Make informed hiring decisions
Many employers do not verify the individual’s certifications due to the lengthy and costly processes; more importantly, many have stated that degrees alone do not tell enough about the skills and capabilities of the graduate.
Problem statement
Employers seek clear skills from learning outcomes but face slow, error-prone verifications, delaying hires and risking bad hires.
Learning outcomes
Verifying qualifications or certifications (e.g. degrees) alone seem to be not sufficient or relevant anymore; in fact, employers want to understand how the learning outcomes translate into skills and capabilities (and thus the job).
Verification complexity
Employers face complex processes when they verify candidates' academic and professional credentials. Existing verification methods are manual (prone to errors) and time-consuming – drivers that enhances the chance to hiring a bad hire.
Delayed hiring process
The time-consuming verification process often results in delays in making hiring decisions and potentially filling crucial positions. Employers may miss out on qualified candidates or experience prolonged recruitment cycles, negatively impacting the business.
Our solution
Certie helps employers (and, more broadly, verifiers) to verify the credentials of potential candidates.
Credential review
- Submission cancel: candidates submit their credentials through a designated submission channel. This submission channel can be integrated within the employer's job application system or provided through Certie's platform.
- Accuracy assessment: employers assess the accuracy of the credentials in relation to the job spec. They can evaluate whether the qualifications align with the roles and responsibilities of the position.
- Authenticity through digital proofs: employers access and verify the credential's authenticity through the digital proofs provided with the verifiable credential. This process ensures the credential integrity and trustworthiness.
Cost and time saving
- Streamline processes: the digital nature of the credentials streamlines the review process. Employers can quickly and efficiently evaluate candidates' qualifications/certifications, reducing the time spent on manual reviews.
- Preventing bad hires: as employers are able to gather more information about the candidate on what they can and cannot do, they are able to prevent hire bad hires (and thus potential losses).
- Retain talent by upskilling them: extend the verification platform to implement digital credentials in your Learning & Development; and offer credentials to support your employees in their professional learning journey.
Data security and trust
- Enhanced transparency: as employers access the submitted credentials directly, it enhances the transparency of the hiring process as employers do not rely on potentially fraudulent or incomplete paper documents.
- Restricted access: Certie’s technology architecture is securely built to safeguard individual’s credentials against unauthorised access or tampering, ensuring the credentials remain authentic.
- Secure data transmission and storage: the platform ensures secure transmission and storage of credentials. Advanced encryption and data security measures protect the confidentiality of the submitted credentials.
