When considering verification solutions for professional licenses, it's important to know the differences between professional license verification and traditional employment screening.
Professional License Verification offers ongoing monitoring to make sure every licensee is in good standing. It uses real time accurate checks with authoritative sources, delivering results in minutes instead of days.
Traditional Employment Screening companies perform one-time checks on specific aspects like a candidate’s job history, criminal records, and education. These checks can take an average of two to four days1.
