Student Direct by Verified Credentials Offers Superior High Tech Advantages

Lakeville, Minn. — (October 2006) — Student Direct by Verified Credentials presents streamlined, easy-to-use technology to assist schools and organizations with their background screening programs. By coupling the capabilities of the Verification Management System (VMS) with the Candidate Verification Center (CVC), Student Direct can channel paperless applications of unlimited student candidates into an organized online platform with numerous tools and preferences to help evaluate the students’ reports.

Verified Credentials’ Verification Management System is a comprehensive web-based technology that enables schools to easily manage their students’ background screening process. School administrators can view all of the student data in real time 24/7 online. The tracking options include various search and sorting tools that help locate a desired student. Break downs of specific events, such as “roster”, product and detailed order status reports, are available for each student background check order. A distinct advantage of VMS is the Administrative Reports where school administrators can analyze the data and generate reports based on various criteria. All reports within VMS can also be color-coded for instant evaluation with the Report Scoring feature. With Report Scoring reports are labeled according to criteria determined by the school, such as green representing no discrepancy and red indicating a discrepancy.

To further optimize the capabilities of VMS, Verified Credentials offers a powerful add-on component that allows students to order their own background checks, the Candidate Verification Center. CVC consists of a custom-built website for each Student Direct account that integrates the school’s brand and culture into a three-step application process. Students are able to submit their credentials, sign the release and make their payment all from their school’s CVC website. The state-of-the-art E-Signature Technology captures a real signature using a mouse or an e-pad, using a compliant online method to create a completely paperless student background screening solution.

The high tech advantages enabled through VMS and CVC save schools management time and streamlines their background screening program with convenient and secure online capabilities.
