Background Verification


Background Verification Services

An employment background check is done during the job interview process, but can also take place at any time the employer considers it necessary. For example, many employers require annual or half-annual or quarterly employment address check or criminal background checks to create a safe & secure workplace for their employees.

To carry a complete pre-employment background check, we will need the candidate’s full name, date of birth, PAN number and current or past address along with the candidate’s consent to process the check. Typically, a pre-employment background check includes information and records from the past seven years, although we may consider up to 10 years as per the employer’s choice.

Our employment background check includes a number of particulars such as employee’s work history, education, financial history, motor vehicle reports (MVRs), criminal record, medical history, social media background, and police record creening. If the case of a specialized position, the employer may request further screenings. For example, when someone is applying to be a financial advisor, chartered accountant, or bank positions, the employer may ask us to carry the applicant’s financial history and certification verification.

Criminal Background Check

A criminal background check is usually done when an organization needs to know about a candidate’s history for major criminal activity, such as violent or sex crimes, frauds, theft, or any convictions before processing a decision regarding employment.

Depending on the industry, like healthcare or banks, there are certain regulations against hiring candidates if their conviction is relevant to the job.

Our criminal background check may include the following record searches:

  • ● Police criminal databases
  • ● Sex offender registries
  • ● National criminal courts
  • ● Domestic and local surveillance lists
  • ● National and state criminal records

Personal Background Checks

Employers may ask us to run a check for a number of details while processing a personal background check. Depending on the industry, you can choose which checks you want us to perform, and the ones you don’t need. Our personal background check provides employers with a great way to address all potential errors. The errors help employers to take a decision on whether they want to hire certain candidates or not.

Professional License Background Checks

A professional license background check helps the employer to verify if the applicant does indeed possess a valid certification or license as claimed. This is important for employers to hire the right candidates with proper certifications.

Industries that may require professional license background check include:

  • ● The financial services industry such as financial planning, real estate, chartered accounting firms, banking, and insurance
  • ● Home contractors, lawyers or administrative works or electricians. ors, including plumbers, builders, and electricians
  • ● Education such as teachers, professors, and administrators

Employers need to get written permission from applicants and employees and let them know how they might use the information found in decisions about their employment. Additionally, if the employer chooses not to hire someone because of information found in a background check, then we recommend notifying the candidate with a copy of the report used to make the decision.

The cost of an employment background check can depend on what the employer wants to include for review. While basic national criminal background checks can cost little, a more thorough check can cost more. We also offer discount pricing for bulk orders.
