Verifications

Validate with Confidence

No two companies are the same. That’s why a “one-size-fits-all” approach to pre-employment verification isn’t always effective. At Orange Tree, our verification solutions reflect the different needs of our customers.

Whether you need to check employment histories, verify educational degrees and professional licenses, or validate any qualifications, Orange Tree’s comprehensive verification services help you make informed hiring decisions.

Valid Verification Attempts

At Orange Tree, a valid verification attempt is completed when we have reached a contact that we have reason to believe is authorized and is the best possible source of that information. Our valid attempt process makes every effort to obtain accurate information by:

Identifying the best possible source of information
Contacting only accurate, approved, and vetted contacts, phone numbers, email addresses and 3rd party sources
Attempting contact during time zone specific business hours
Attempting contact at staggered times of day
Attempting contact on a different day

We show every annotation in our easy-to-use ClientConnectTM portal.

Integrated with All Available Sources

We work directly with authorized contacts and primary sources – past employers, colleges, state licensing agencies, and other recognized sources – to obtain the best information available and support our customers’ individual screening needs. Our success rates are industry-leading, and we annotate our progress in our easy-to-use ClientConnect® portal.
