What is credentialing?

Credentialing is an umbrella term that usually encompasses two processes: credentialing and privileging. Credentialing is also knows as Primary Source Verification (PSV) of a professionals education, training, work experience, license, etc. Oftentimes a variety of sources is used during the verification process, such as direct communication from the educational and training institutions, past and current hospital affiliations and employers, peer reference letters, certification boards, licensing agencies and other sources. Privileging on the other hand, involves granting approval for an individual to perform a specific service or operate in a specific field based on documented competence

What is Primary Source Verification (PSV)?

As the term suggests, it’s the process of obtaining verification details from the original source. An example of this would be a licensing body that awards medical professionals the right to work. In this case, a graduation certificate alone is not enough to be granted a license to work in the medical field. The graduate’s university needs to be contacted to verify the legitimacy of the degree. This is one way in which fraudulent documents are identified in the application process. The top 2 things that will delay your verification process: Failure to submit all of the documents as outlined in the Candidate Dashboard. Incomplete information. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses for past affiliations/current affiliations and education.

What information is included in my background check?

Every employer has specific background screening requirements based on their industry, regulations, type of positions they hire for, etc. Some common requirements may include: past education and employment history, driving records and verification of professional licenses. Help! I can’t remember every detail about my past employment or education? That’s ok! Try to provide as much accurate information as possible. We’ll compare the information you provide with the information the past employer or academic institution provides.
