    NameScan
    In our specific case, NameScan is an interesting piece of software for administratively verifying the identity of those who have to enroll in courses or discuss a Thesis. The fact that NameScan can be integrated with other software (anti-plagiarism, for example, Turnitin) guarantees greater use efficiency. In this case, the integrated verification of identity and possible plagiarism helps us significantly limit fraud.

    SkillSurvey really is great for reference checks and how to communicate with the contacts provided. It's a great way to easy view the reports, ensure that someone is not filling out their own reference information, and being able to contact passive candidates that have interest in your organization. The templates are easy to generate once you use them a couple times.

    • It is very easy to use, so we don't have to spend time training others how to process reference checks.
    • SkillSurvey seems to gather many more responses than other vendors used. This is great because it stops us from having to physically call additional references.
    • We're able to gather leads from the references who complete the link and opt to be contacted by a recruiter. In the HR/recruitment world, this is seen as free leads!

    Cons
    NameScan
    • The software still generates confusion, especially in the case of Asian names, often repetitive or similar to each other. In this case, the information it returns is not very accurate.
    • The numerous integrative databases that can be purchased are really very expensive.
    • NameScan is graphically unintuitive.

    NameScan well integrated with our existing system, with less false positives results, where as with AuditGenius we get search results are not that great & sanctions list such as WorldCompliane, Dow Jones not up to mark, we have also issues with integration with our system . NameScan also offer us best competitive price .

    Return on Investment
    NameScan
    • It allowed us to limit the admission of non-welcome people to the University.
    • It has allowed us to limit the number of frauds in the context of thesis discussions, especially doctoral ones.
    • NameScan has become fundamental in our university's internalisation to verify, in particular, people arriving from countries at risk.

    • We're able to collect more references, which allows us to clear candidates to start their jobs quicker.
    • The additional leads collected are sent to recruiters who are then able to have more candidates to reach out to for potential future employment.
