What should you do if you discover discrepancies in a candidate's educational history during a records check?

When discrepancies in a candidate's educational history are discovered during a records check, the most appropriate action is to share this information with your Insider Threat Program. This choice is correct because such discrepancies can indicate potential risks or dishonest behavior that could affect the integrity of hiring processes and the overall security of the organization.

By involving the Insider Threat Program, you are taking a proactive step to investigate the validity of the information and assess any potential threat that the discrepancies may pose. This program typically has protocols in place for handling such situations, ensuring that appropriate measures are taken in line with organizational policies and legal requirements.

The other options lack the necessary diligence and oversight required in handling sensitive information related to hiring practices. Ignoring the information could lead to significant risks if the candidate poses a threat. Documenting it and continuing with the hiring process does not address the concern and could result in hiring an individual based on false pretenses. Reporting the issue directly to the candidate could undermine the integrity of the investigation and might lead to the candidate tampering with or fabricating further information. Thus, engaging with the Insider Threat Program is the most responsible and effective course of action.
