Avue customers will now be able to use AccreditCheckTM effective immediately. AccreditCheckTM verifies that all job applicants have degrees issued from an accredited college or university, and immediately flags those applicants listing degrees from unrecognized educational institutions so these degrees can be further examined.

Were in the business of making the hiring process more efficient and helping HR professionals be more effective. This tool will provide the Federal human resources community and Federal managers the confidence they need to make the right hiring decisions."

The process is simple and easy for applicants to use. When applicants submit information regarding higher education, they are asked to identify the institution conferring their degrees using a map of the United States and a drop down list of institutions as a starting point. If the institution does not appear on the list, the applicant is asked to submit further information and the application is flagged for closer review.
