In today’s environment, it’s a good investment to do background and credential checks upfront to avoid costly mistakes. Avoiding legal problems is just part of the picture. When it comes to hiring, employers must take into consideration the additional losses associated with hiring mistakes. Recruiting, hiring and training expenses average more than $6,000 per employee. Consider also the additional costs of low productivity due to absenteeism and poor worker morale, abuse of sick leave and high accident rates, which increase insurance costs.

When it comes to public officials, top executives and others working in high profile positions, some have been identified as lacking the education, professional licenses, work experience and other credentials required for their position. One might ask how an individual could obtain a job without possessing the prerequisite qualifications. The answer is, unfortunately, quite simple: employers don't adequately verify information.

Stumar's agents have been consistently called upon by pro athlete agents as well as national universities to conduct due dilligence investigations upon their prospective clients, students to include by not limited to drug policy violations, honor code violations as well as character and criminal backgrounds.  

Stumar‘s agents are professionally trained to assist with all credentialing needs.  We provide an array of diploma and degree verification services, from verifying a candidate’s high school diploma all the way to the highest academic degree. Stumar also provides verification of a number of technical and other types of certificates, including confirmation of transcripts, GEDs and military service.

Stumar clients can also rest assured that the person testifying or rendering an expert opinion has the credentials to perform his/her duties. We verify credentials for all types of professional licenses and note any sanctions recorded.  License verifications may include medical licensing, certified public accountants (CPA), attorney licensing, engineering and real estate, to name a few.  This service will validate the following: records on validity and accuracy of applicant’s license, disciplinary actions taken, date of issue, renewal and expiration dates, status of license, and other information provided by an institution (information will vary on type of licensed under review). The intelligence that Stumar can uncover will give you the answers before you ask the question.
