Great question—and no, they’re not the same, though they work hand-in-hand.
- Verification means we confirm what the candidate claims to be true. For example, if someone says they earned a degree from NYU, we contact the registrar to verify that information is accurate. Same goes for employment history, professional licenses, and references.
- Validation means we confirm what exists, even if the candidate didn’t tell us. For example, a Social Security Number (SSN) validation tells us if the SSN is valid, when and where it was issued, and if it’s been linked to any known aliases or suspicious activity—even if the candidate didn’t disclose those details.
Think of it this way:
- Verification = confirm what’s claimed
- Validation = uncover what’s real
Using both ensures you’re hiring based on facts—not just a polished resume.
Focus: Validates a candidate’s Social Security number and linked address history.
