What is a Gap Check verification?

Gap refers to the unaccounted / unexplained period in a candidate’s resume between periods of employment or education.

Gap Check identifies patterns of significant gaps in a candidate’s history of education and employment and obtains explanation comments for the gaps from the candidate along with proofs for the explanations.


Why is a Gap Check verification required?

It is natural to have short gaps of a few weeks between periods of employment but it is worth investigating gaps that are more than a couple of months. Candidates might be trying to hide a bad employment history or criminal convictions or it could be due to innocent reasons like taking a career break to take care of family or to travel or to volunteer. 

Hence, to understand your candidate better, the employment and education history of a candidate along with the gap history provide a complete screening of the candidate.
