The basic reference verification service brings together the best practices of the United Nations system organizations to achieve the goal of securing staff of the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity. Through direct interaction with the employers, academic institutions and referees including supervisors, the OneHR ensures the accuracy, reliability and integrity of the results.
The employment history of job applicants for the last ten years, including the employers, job titles, and dates of employment is verified directly with the employers.
Information on the reason for separation is also sought from the employers in case of misconduct, unsatisfactory performance, abandonment of position or resignation during investigation of misconduct or disciplinary process.
The degrees listed in job applications, at the bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate level or equivalent, are verified directly with the academic institutions including the accreditation status of the institutions and level of degrees.
A minimum of three references are secured from supervisors and other professional referees on the integrated knowledge, workplace performance, behavioral skills, technical competencies, and ethical values.
In addition to the standardized questionnaire, feedback may also be sought on the job-specific requirements.
