Identity & Address Check

In this type of screening, it is verified that an applicant is providing the right & accurate information.

Candidates may be dishonest, conceal their identity or previous address in an attempt to hide prior criminal activities & conviction of any kind.

This check will cross-verify their current and previous addresses and other aliases or maiden names that the applicant may have used in the past. It is the first step in conducting a thorough employee background check.

 In this type of screening, after establishing the true identity of the applicant, other records like Election ID card, Driving License, past & present addresses are verified.

Education Check

It has been found that with lot of job opportunities & lack of good manpower; every one in five candidates reportedly provide false information with respect to their education records & other credentials. This has now become a standard procedure for any new hire. We do this check through contact with the registrar of the schools, universities, and professional institutions to verify candidate’s educational background.
