Credentialing is the process of reviewing and verifying the qualifications of potential hires. When conducting background checks and processing the credentials of new hires, HR managers have to review a variety of different documents to verify the identity and experience of a job candidate. Many industries have strict credential requirements, as credentialing is prevalent in the healthcare industry, CPA firms, law firms and schools to name a few. These industries have very specific position needs, often requiring special licensing, certifications and dues. In some instances, credentialing is a legally required process.
When verifying credentials, companies want to ensure that they are hiring the best employees, who have the qualifications needed to effectively perform a role. Consistent credentialing, along with background checks, reduces liability for companies by ensuring top-notch talent. Additionally, your company may want to verify past employment and education of new employees. Therefore, the credentialing process typically involves a lot of documentation. In paper-based HR offices, credentialing can be a long, arduous process involving mountains of paperwork.
