When you’re hiring in Singapore, especially for roles requiring a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) work pass, ensuring your candidate’s qualifications are genuine is not just good practice; it’s a mandatory requirement. As an employer or HR professional, you need confidence that the educational credentials presented are authentic and from accredited institutions. This is where a thorough background check becomes invaluable, and at RMI, we take this responsibility seriously.

As a trusted partner for countless organisations, we are often asked about the data sources we use to conduct these critical verifications. The answer lies in our proven methodology that prioritises accuracy, compliance, and direct-from-the-source information. We understand that for you, the integrity of your hiring process is paramount, and our verification methods are designed to provide the peace of mind you need.

Here are the primary data sources and methods we use for MOM-compliant background checks:

Direct Contact with University Registrars and Student Record Teams: At RMI, we maintain direct contact with university registrars and student record teams worldwide to ensure candidate education credentials are verified directly from the source. This approach allows us to confirm attendance, graduation dates, and the specific degree or diploma awarded with the highest level of authenticity.
MOM-Approved Verification Services: As one of the officially MOM-approved and recognised background screening companies, we follow strict protocols to ensure full compliance with MOM’s regulatory standards.
Global Network Coverage: Operating in over 76 countries, we have established verification protocols and access to data sources across multiple jurisdictions, enabling us to efficiently verify credentials from institutions worldwide while maintaining the same high standards of accuracy.

Navigating the complexities of global credential verification can be a significant challenge for any organisation. The sheer diversity of educational systems, regulatory requirements, and verification processes requires specialised knowledge and a meticulous approach. Attempting to manage this in-house can lead to delays, compliance risks, and ultimately, the hiring of a candidate with fraudulent qualifications. At RMI, we shoulder this burden for you, leveraging our established relationships with educational institutions and our expertise in MOM requirements to deliver accurate, timely, and compliant verification reports.

For a seamless and compliant hiring process, consider our specialised MOM verification services. If you are dealing with candidates for roles regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, our MAS background screening solutions can provide the assurance you need.
