Professional license verification for employers
Confirm that a candidate’s professional license is real, current, and free of disciplinary action, directly with the issuing board. $10.00 per verification for Catapult members.
A license on a resume is a claim, not a credential
For licensed roles, the question is not whether someone was ever licensed. It is whether the license is valid today and whether anything has happened to it.
