Employee background checks and verification services

��㣨Leyu�� in India's Employee Screening and Verification Services

In today’s buoyant market, it may be tempting to fill positions with the first applicant who meets your job requirements. However, taking time to find the right person for the job and conducting a thorough background verification not only helps you increase productivity but also mitigates risk associated with negligent hiring in the event of underperformance, fraud or crime committed by an employee. Many employers discover rather late that due to inadequate and superficial background check process, they have hired a critical resource with significant discrepancies in their resumes like fake education degrees, fictitious experience certificates or past criminal records. Such insufficiencies can cause serious harm to the brand and reputation of an organization.

As concerns about data security gain importance, organisations are increasingly undertaking Employee background verification of their prospective employees along with background check of vendors and strategic partners. As per ��㣨Leyu�� International’s Global profiles of the fraudster report, Indian fraudsters are younger in age with 32 per cent in the 26 to 35 age group. This also corroborates with our findings pertaining to resume frauds which indicates that a majority of resume discrepancies lie in this age group while conducting��employee background verification.

��㣨Leyu�� in India's employee screening and verifications practice helps organisations conduct background checks of prospective/existing employees which can assist in taking the right hiring decisions. We provide a range of pre-employment background check services in a flexible, timely and cost-effective manner.

Client’s challenge

Leading Information Technology (IT) client with 100,000 employee strength, high attrition and hiring across levels and geographies. More than 10,000 full-time employees were on bench, unassigned to any project for previous two to three years. At the time of on-boarding for these employees, background verification were conducted through several empanelled service providers. All these employees were cleared with a ‘green�� report stating no discrepancies or adverse findings. ��㣨Leyu�� in India was engaged by the client to do cross-verification for these employees.

Our approach

Based on the scope customised for the client, fresh background checks were initiated. We with domain knowledge and forensic expertise, identified gaps in the existing screening processes adopted by the incumbent service providers. ��㣨Leyu�� accessed company registries and other regulatory databases to ascertain authenticity of the declared previous employer entity.

We checked accreditation and registration status of the educational institutes to identify suspicious/ fake institutes. While background checks of education and employment were conducted in the past, the veracity of the institute/employer was never done and was not brought to the notice of the client.
