You see faster which positions a qualification from abroad is suitable for and where formal recognition is needed first. Good people with foreign qualifications slip through the net less often.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly place applicants with qualifications from various countries.
  • Today you classify them by hand, often with lengthy look-ups in databases and queries to client companies.
  • You have a list of the qualifications your clients are looking for, or can draw one up.
First step today

Copy out six qualifications from earlier placements without names or dates of birth (country, original title, type of institution, duration, subject) and use the template below to have them mapped to your target qualifications. Compare with how you classified them at the time and what a recognition authority decided.

How to go about it

  1. Set target qualifications and who is responsible
  2. Collect qualifications classified so far
  3. Set up the mapping in the applicant management system
  4. Pass uncertain and regulated cases to recruiters
  5. Use the classification in searching and presenting
  6. Evaluate wrong classifications
