Confirm that candidates hold the active, valid licenses required for their role — and surface any disciplinary actions or sanctions.
For roles in healthcare, finance, law, engineering, real estate, education, and dozens of other regulated industries, holding a valid professional license is a legal requirement. Research Services verifies professional licenses directly with state licensing boards and issuing authorities.
Beyond confirming that a license exists, we also check for any disciplinary actions, complaints, suspensions, or revocations — information critical to making an informed hiring decision.
Professional license verifications are typically completed within 1–2 business days. Many state licensing databases allow same-day retrieval; boards that require manual contact may take longer.
1–2 Business Days
Hiring a candidate without verifying their professional license can expose your organization to regulatory penalties, malpractice liability, and reputational damage — especially in healthcare, finance, and other heavily regulated fields.
A license that appears valid on the surface may be expired, suspended, or subject to active disciplinary proceedings that only a direct board verification will surface. Confirming credentials before hire is your first line of defense.
