Do small companies check educational verification?

Posted at: 2014-12-08 
You need your degree to do the job! Do not apply. IF you ever got hired (extremely unlikely), you simply are not equipped to handle to work load.

But yes, these days companies verify AND double-check everything like crazy - education, references & recommendations, everything. A small company is often going to check MORE thoroughly. They are operating with so few people, each person must be crackerjack at his/her job. There's nobody to show you how to do anything, nobody to help you, nobody to pick up the slack.

You need exceptionally good skills, ability to work on your own, need minimal direction or supervision. You step in there & take charge of your turf from your first hour on the job. You need to know everything cold. And be extremely efficient as well as knowledgeable or you are going to work very long hours getting the job done!

Yes. ESPECIALLY a small company.

being small they need EXACTLY the right person for their job opening, and they WILL check your educational references to be sure that you have the LEVEL of skills they need.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

It only costs about ten bucks to add this service to a pre-employment background check if they find that more efficient than calling your school or asking for your diploma or transcripts.

Lying on your application materials is a firing offense.

maybe not

unless those qualifications certify you for particular financial reporting authorities - tax and such

give it a go

if it doesnt work out .. what have you lost

I got accepted for an interview.

But the position required accounting and finance majors.

I have a business degree but not accounting or finance. Have taken acct classes but not completed the minor.

This is a small company w few people. The hiring dept has like 3 people.

Would they check my education in detail etc?
