A degree issued as a verifiable credential is signed by the awarding institution and checks out instantly against that signature. The candidate presents it during application and you get an answer in the flow rather than a ticket in a queue. Transcripts, Erasmus records and language certificates behave the same way.
Verifying a foreign degree means emailing a registrar in another country and waiting days for a reply that sometimes never arrives. Employers either eat the delay, pay a background-check vendor to eat it for them, or skip the check and carry the risk. Candidates lose offers to the wait.
Step 01
The candidate presents diploma, transcript or certificate credentials inside the application flow.
Step 02
We validate the issuer signature and revocation status, so a forged or withdrawn qualification fails immediately.
Step 03
Your ATS keeps a verified qualification and its evidence instead of an unverified line on a CV.
