Helloverify Strikes Again: Screening Process Foils Fraudulent Hire Attempt!

A leading IT company hired a new HR Head who had a different perspective on the background verification (BGV) process. He believed that it was unnecessary and wanted to dismantle it altogether. However, the existing HR team decided to conduct his BGV based on protocols, and the results were shocking. The HR Head's profile turned out to be completely fake.

Challenge

The challenge for Helloverify was to conduct a thorough background check on the new HR Head despite the pushback from the individual himself. The HR Head's lack of support could have resulted in a compromised process that could potentially affect the integrity and safety of the company.

Solution

Helloverify followed a comprehensive approach to conduct the BGV of the new HR Head. The process included the following steps:

??Identity Verification: The team first verified the identity of the HR Head by matching his government-issued identification documents with his personal information, including his full name, date of birth, and address.

??Employment Verification: The next step was to verify the HR Head's employment history, including his previous employers, job titles, and work experience. Helloverify contacted the HR departments of these companies to confirm the HR Head's employment details.

??Educational Verification: Helloverify then verified the HR Head's educational background by contacting his alma mater and confirming his degree, course, and graduation year.

??Criminal Record Check: The team conducted a criminal record check to ensure that the HR Head did not have any criminal history that could pose a threat to the company.

Helloverify 's BGV process revealed that the new HR Head's profile was completely fake. The team found that the HR Head had fabricated his entire work history, education credentials, and identity.

The HR Head had provided a fake address, and forged identification documents. He had claimed to have worked at several reputed IT companies in senior positions, but none of them had any record of his employment. He had also lied about his educational background, claiming to have graduated from a prestigious university that had no record of his enrollment.
