02Before hiring · risk indicators

The résumé and reality don't always line up

Inconsistency isn't always intentional — but every unexplained inconsistency is a question. Six seemingly small discrepancies can turn into a major cost in a key role.

Fake or unverifiable diploma

The document is not in the institution's graduation records, or belongs to someone else.

Fabricated or exaggerated work history

Dates, title, scope of authority, or reason for leaving do not match the employer's records.

Concealed criminal record

A record directly relevant to the position, not declared on the form or in the interview.

Other 3 inconsistency types

Discrepancy in the SGK record

The record shows employers absent from the CV, or unexplained gaps.

Unverifiable contact in the reference check

The named person or organization is not real, or does not know the candidate in that role.

Identity and document inconsistency

The ID, civil-registry, and residence records do not agree with each other or with the application.

Four of the six indicators close when the document is checked at its source; the other two — employment history and references — are closed by a Prosecure expert, before the offer letter. How Know Your Employee works →

03The stakes

Verification is the first checkpoint against employee-driven risk

Inconsistency is the norm, not the exception. Most employers encountered at least one inconsistency in candidate screening in the past year — most often in employment history, education, and undisclosed criminal records. The data:

75%+

Share of employers who found at least one inconsistency in candidate screening in the last 12 months.

~40%

Employers who encounter at least one inconsistency in roughly every 20 candidates on average.

47%

Education records in EMEA — one of the areas where inconsistencies appear most often.

13%

Employers who report finding an inconsistency in one of every five candidates.

Source: HireRight 2025 Global Benchmark Report, June 2025. The survey ran 11 February – 9 March 2025; 1,114 responses from HR, risk, and talent-acquisition professionals across North America, EMEA, and APAC. The 47% figure is the EMEA breakout only.

A bad hire costs more than verification does.

A bad hire brings re-hiring, retraining, and fraud risk together; every extra month in a key role adds to that cost. The first step isn't an expensive mistake — it's a verification completed in 1–7 business days before hiring. For claims that surface after hiring, the second checkpoint: Fraud Investigation →

04How it works · document verification flow

How are documents verified?

HR opens the request; the candidate uploads documents from their own account; the system checks each document against its primary source. Any check the system can't be certain about is automatically routed to a specialist.

Why does the candidate submit it themselves?

Accessing someone’s official records on their behalf demands far greater authority than the verification itself. When the candidate retrieves the document from their own account, data stays minimal and the process rests on solid ground.

Why isn't scanning the barcode enough?

A valid barcode isn’t enough: the most common form of fraud is a genuine document belonging to someone else. The system checks the document against its source and compares the name and ID number with the application.

Any check the system can’t be certain about goes to a specialist.

What happens if something's off?

If the document isn't found at the source

If the barcode isn’t registered with the authority, the report says so plainly: the document may be fraudulent or the number misread. The system doesn’t rule — it reports what it found.

If the document belongs to someone else

If the barcode is valid but the identity doesn’t match the candidate, a mismatch flag is raised — a genuine document, someone else’s.

In both cases the check is routed automatically to a Prosecure operator; a specialist reviews the document manually and closes it with their own record.

05Legal basis · KVKK

Where does responsibility sit?

Roles are the part of this process most often misunderstood. Here is how it actually works, and how it's written into the contract.

Your company

Data controller

You're the party that makes the hiring decision and determines the purpose of processing the data. The disclosure obligation and the choice of retention period are yours.

Prosecure

Data processor

We process data only on your instructions and on your behalf. We cannot use it for our own purposes or transfer it to another party.

Safeguards built into the system

Explicit consent

No verification runs without the candidate's consent.

Separate explicit consent

Special-category data, such as criminal records, requires its own separate consent.

No e-Devlet password

The candidate downloads the document from their own account and submits it themselves.

Other 3 principles

Authorized access

Only the authorized users who opened the request can see the results.

Audit trail

Who did what, and when, is logged.

Retention and deletion

Documents are destroyed once the set retention period ends.

In the demo call, we also share disclosure-notice and data-processing-addendum templates for your own KVKK documentation.

06Scope and pricing

Which documents we verify

You choose the checks you want for each request. Some run fully automatically; others are inherently specialist work carried out by a Prosecure operator.

The unit price per credit is defined in your contract. Key-role investigations aren't part of this table; their scope is built around the role.

Pay for what you use

No fixed package or monthly commitment; cost is based only on the checks you select for that request.

Reserved first, finalized after

When a request is opened, the relevant amount is reserved from your balance; it's finalized once the check completes. Your remaining balance is always visible in the panel.

Inconclusive checks are refunded

You don't pay for a check that couldn't be completed due to a technical obstacle, or that's canceled. A document turning out to be fraudulent, on the other hand, is a result.

07Report

Verification results, in a single report

The report doesn't hand down a score or a verdict; it lays out each check's source, result, and verification code side by side. You make the decision.

See the report in the panel — request a demo →

What's in the report

  • Report header — requesting organization, masked candidate details, date, and number of checks
  • Proof of consent — how consent was obtained and with what identity assurance
  • Every check, individually — check, source, result, verification code, verified by, and date
  • Overall result and QR code — how many checks were verified; a QR code that lets anyone check the report on the public page
Hiring Confidence Check Report — Know Your Employee panel output

Sample report — Know Your Employee panel output; organization and candidate details are illustrative.

Proof · a report anyone can check

The report is sealed — anyone can verify it

Anyone holding the report can check on a public page that it was issued by Prosecure. The page only confirms the report's authenticity — it doesn't display candidate details.

Enter the report code.

Try it: sample code PRS-2026-1640F7 — type a different code and the system tells them apart.

Report is valid

Issued by Prosecure.

No record found

No report has been issued with this code.

Illustrative demo. Report verification runs live once the Know Your Employee panel is connected.

Verification address

prosecure.com.tr/belge-dogrulama

The QR code on the report also leads here. Verification checks the record created when the report was issued; a report altered afterwards is treated as invalid.

08Key roles · expert investigation

Key Personnel Background Investigations

General managers, signatories, partners, or key personnel ahead of an investment — here the risk isn’t a date error on a résumé, it’s a history that never made it onto any document. The product verifies documents; this investigation looks for what was never declared and is led end-to-end by a specialist.

Employment-history depth, commercial affiliations, open-source and reputation findings, global risk screening. Scope is set by the role; delivery takes one to seven business days.

09Prosecure, in brief

The party doing the verifying should be accountable too

We are the founding firm that turned background verification into an independent, defined service in Türkiye. Prosecure isn’t a software company; it comes from a background in corporate investigations and risk advisory. Know Your Employee is the end-to-end solution built on that experience.

A system that can say "I'm not sure"

When the system hesitates, the case is automatically routed to a specialist; the result is never left to a guess.

Consent declaration built into the system

The consent declaration isn't a form signed off to the side — it's the operating condition of the process. No consent, no check; withdraw it, and the check stops.

A checkable output

The report is sealed; its authenticity is confirmed by report number through a public verification page.

International partnerships

For cross-border history, we rely on reciprocal partnerships with foreign verification providers and HR technology companies — using their network for candidates based abroad.

Every report is completed under the founder's oversight. Meet the founder →

11Frequently asked questions

Questions about verification

The most common questions about consent, inconclusive results, report assurance, and candidates with a history abroad.

What is background verification?
Background verification (background check) is the process of confirming, at the original source, the diplomas, certificates, criminal records, military service, past titles, and references that candidates present during hiring. It surfaces fraudulent documents, reduces hiring risk, and lays the groundwork for a trustworthy workplace culture.
Can a check start without the candidate's consent?
No. Not a single check runs in the system without the candidate's consent. Special-category data, such as criminal records, requires a further, separate explicit consent. If the candidate withdraws consent, any pending checks stop.
What happens if the result isn't conclusive?
If the QR code can't be read or the document type isn't recognized, the check is automatically routed to a Prosecure specialist. The specialist reviews the document and closes it out with their own note. The system can say "I'm not sure" — it never wrongly says "verified."
Can the report be altered afterwards?
The report is sealed. Verification checks the record created when the report was issued; a report altered afterwards is treated as invalid. Anyone holding the report can request verification; candidate details are not shared.
What do you do for candidates with a history abroad?
We verify documents within Türkiye directly; for cross-border history, we use our reciprocal partnership program with foreign verification providers and HR technology companies.
