Sify, November26, 2007

Mumbai: Candidates fudging CVs to get jobs beware! Employers can catch you using services of Background Screening industry which has the wherewithal to check a potential employee's background.

The new industry, which is less than seven years old, is gaining popularity globally as more and more companies are realizing that a 'bad hire' has the propensity to inflict immense damage to the image and reputation of the company.

“We help the companies to recruit right set of people in their organization as the character and competence of an employee is of paramount importance. In today's world, the last thing that a company would want is negative reputation,” First Advantage Private Ltd Managing Director, Ashish Dehade, told

The company offers background checks on employees with customized services.

But unlike private detective agency which carries out undercover operations, the background screening industry operates in a transparent manner with the consent of the prospective employee who knows that company where he has applied is verifying his credentials through an outsourced background screening agency.

It is the growing incidences of fraud, negligence, data theft, danger to employees and loss of reputation of the companies because of nefarious activities of employees of questionable character and integrity which has created a demand for creditable organizations that can verify the credentials of a candidate like a private detective agency.
