An Inside view of Background Checks!

We process 20k candidate BGV's roughly each month, give or take 5%. The successful candidates or candidates whose BGV report is all clear stands at 98% overall. Which means around 2% or a little more by a decimal % have unwarranted records, that impact their employment.

What is astounding is of the 2% of non-compliant results, more than 70% is employment history that is incorrect. Even forged/incorrect education records account for 10% of results not fit for hire. Together this accounts for 70% or more incorrect information passed on by the candidates. It is more than the 7% criminal matches found against employees/candidates.

Which means if you are not doing the background check of a candidate taking into perspective their previous employment & education records, you might be in for a surprise, albeit not a rewarding one!

While we suggest our clients to conduct background checks basis their positioning of the candidate industry, we also promote setting up an ever-compliant process with recurring/continuous monitoring via certain checks like criminal profile or credit history to name a few. Flexibility to order certain checks before you onboard a candidate and a full-fledged offering once you have one joined are on the cards too.

We offer an easy-to-integrate API-first system, robust processes & superlative client service with our experienced team across geographies. Up for a chat to understand how we can help? Get in touch with us now.?
