International Education and Degree Verification

• Employment verification : We verify the applicant's previous or current employers, verifying at least: start date, end date as well as position information.
• Education verification: We verify dates of attendance, graduation date and degree information.
• Credentials : We verify the applicant's previous or current license, certification or other credentials. Access to such records can be limited. Please call us to discuss what it is you need to obtain.
• Reference checks : We obtain professional references from past supervisors or coworker. Please call us to discuss the questions you would like to ask.

• Our experienced researchers speak over 25 different languages. In addition to knowing the language, they are very familiar with local culture as well as with privacy laws in each country.
• We work on verification requests until they are completed. We don't simply give up if we can't reach a company or school after a few days of trying. We attempt to contact the school or employer every day and at different times of the day in order to process each request as quickly as possible. We do whatever we can to keep our clients updated on the the status of their requests.
• Info Cubic is headquartered in the United States and has been providing background check services in the US and throughout the world for over 6 years. Info Cubic takes tremendous pride in providing world-class customer service. Regardless of where our clients are located they can always reach an experienced, knowledgeable U.S.-based customer service member. We respond to email inquiries within 30 minutes and you will always be able to speak to live client support during normal business hours.
• We offer a cost-effective, global flat rate for all International verification services. Our flat-rate fee covers surcharges for International phone calls and any 3rd party fees charged by schools or employers to make the billing process simple and straightforward.

In the U.S. , the average turnaround time for education and employment verifications is typically three business days. However, it is important to realize that business standards in the rest of the world are much different than in the U.S. and because of this the typical turnaround time is five to ten business days with longer delays possible in some cases due to factors beyond anyone's control. Info Cubic is committed to doing everything we reasonably can to turn orders around as quickly as possible. For instance, we review the status of every order locally every day and communicate with our overseas researchers accordingly. We subsequently update status notes as meaningful progress is made. Clients can be assured that Info Cubic is doing everything possible to push orders to completion and when there are delays caused by factors beyond our control, those are noted in your status updates.

Here are some of the factors affecting turnaround time:

• International time difference: When Info Cubic receives an order from a U.S. firm, keep in mind that much of the rest of the world is still asleep--the order processing is by necessity delayed until the next business day.
• International calendar : Holidays in the rest of the world cause schools and businesses to be closed at times when the U.S. is open for business.
• Political and economic considerations: Infrastructure in some areas of the world in which we are asked to obtain verifications is poor to non-existent in so far as record keeping, telephone and fax services, internet access and consistent business practices are concerned.
• Research: Quite often, the contact information contained in an international verification requires Info Cubic to do research to locate the employer or school. This sometimes requires additional information, interpretation skills, letter writing and a near-investigation level of effort to establish contact with the verifying party or determine whether they are still in business.
• Business customs and practices: in the U.S. most businesses are staffed and open 9-5, M-F. There is invariably an office manager, human resources representative or staffing office that can assist with verifications. That is not always the case outside the U.S.  In some countries, verifications can take a number of voice mails, e-mails and faxes before someone responds. If the employer is small, the office may only be staffed intermittently.
