Corporate Verification of Results
Did you know that there is an increase in qualifications fraud by job seekers and prospective employees?
‘Woman with Fake certificate Rumbled after 11 years’ (newsdzezimbabwe.com, 16 January 2018)
“A Harare woman allegedly used a forged Ordinary level certificate to get employment as an insurance agent at First Mutual in 2006, a Harare Court heard yesterday.
She reportedly worked for First Mutual for 11 years knowing the said certificate tendered was fake.
The court heard that during Mhiza’s tenure of employment the Human Resources queried the authenticity of her qualifications and asked her to resubmit her certificates.
Zimsec said Mhizha’s certificate was fake and that it belonged to Musarara Takawira who had not even passed the exams.
The case was reported to the police, leading to Mhizha’s arrest.”
This facility is availed to corporate entities to verify results submitted to them by prospective employees.
Verifying results before or during employment tenure minimises chances of employing unqualified personnel carrying fake certificates, which can negatively affect productivity and institutional reputation through losses and incompetence.
Prospective employees who have lost their academic certificates can also apply for the confirmation of results which is sent directly to the requesting authority.
