| | AUGUST 20164Consultants ReviewEditor's NoteProtect Your Business with Comprehensive Employee Screening ServicesNandini MukherjeeSpecial Editor ConsultantsReviewIn a growing economy like ours, organizations are often seen in a mad haste to hire in large numbers. Thin timelines, stringent costs and pressure to perform, often tempt businesses to go easy on background verification and checks on their employees. A large number of candidates also resort to fake document submission since proper verification is not carried out before hiring. This is also supplemented by the fact that there are nearly 7500 agencies that operate across the country for providing fake educational and employment documents.So far, the problem was restricted largely to the information technology (IT), IT-enabled services (ITeS), banking and insurance sectors. However, in the last few years, consumer goods, retail and health care firms have seen increasing instances of employees fudging resumes and claiming non-existent qualifications. Such frauds have been limited to misinterpretations about qualifications and job experience earlier although recent trends suggest that people often produce false certificates on company letter heads including salary certificates and bonuses earned during that period. Job seekers are not only enhancing education credentials; but are also fudging details about employment histories, specialized licenses and job references.Although most businesses have high standards, they also are challenged by limited resources. In addition, they frequently need to move swiftly when the time comes to make a hire. Yet each applicant and employee adds business and security risk. Fortunately, performing background checks on applicants and employees is an effective way to discover potential issues that could affect your business. To allow smart and comprehensive background screening of prospective employees which can assist in taking the right hiring decisions, organizations need to partner with forward-looking verification consultants who not only help them to hire the right talent but also provide a range of pre-employment screening services in a flexible, timely and cost-effective manner.
