As with all pre-employment screening, it must be a valid predictor of job performance. If a licensing agency or school cannot verify data, the applicant should be given an opportunity to explain before assuming the applicant has lied since there can be an explanation for a discrepancy. Employers need to be aware of "diploma mills" that grant worthless degrees. ESR goes through an extensive process to first verify if a school has been accredited. If ESR cannot locate an accreditation, ESR will then go though a procedure to look for diploma mills. ESR performs the verification process by contacting the school register offices schools. Sometimes there can be a delay if a release or a fee is needed. High school and GED requests are typically subject to delay since it often requires mailing a release and/or check. Keep in mind that schools are on an academic schedule, and may be closed for breaks or summer vacations. Some schools outsource their data to third parties, the ESR will contact on the employer's behalf, and an additional fee may be involved. Professional licenses are obtained by identifying and contacting the agency that issued the license. ESR will attempt to ascertain the current status, the date granted and the date of expatriation. If there are any negative history associated with a license, ESR will report that as well.
