Practise the standard verbs for running a thorough candidate background check.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a background check on every finalist before making a formal offer, rather than trusting a résumé's claims at face value.'
We 'run a check' — the standard, simple collocation for carrying out a candidate background verification. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping a background check for a candidate who interviewed impressively can ___ a serious, disqualifying discrepancy from their history completely unnoticed.'
We say a skipped check will 'leave' a real discrepancy unnoticed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting blind spot. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every claimed qualification directly with the issuing institution, since a confidently stated degree isn't always the same thing as an awarded one.'
We 'verify a qualification' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming a candidate's stated credentials. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ exactly what's being checked to the candidate upfront, since running an undisclosed check can itself create real legal exposure.'
We 'disclose a check' — the standard, simple collocation for informing a candidate what verification is taking place. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the check before the start date, not after, so a genuine problem surfaces while there's still time to act on it.'
We 'complete a check' — the standard, simple collocation for finishing a verification process before a set deadline. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
