A recent survey revealed that 78% of job applicants, from a
sample size of 400 people, considered misrepresenting
themselves in a job application in order to secure the job.
Recruiters and employers know this! Many foreign companies
hire people from India and the applicant or prospective job
candidate needs to voluntarily get a profile check certificate
to prove their background to the employer, without which they
won’t even entertain the candidate for an interview. If you
are a foreign/overseas job consultant or a job applicant to an
overseas company, you need a reputable and accredited
background check agency to provide you with a detailed BGV
report. We have assisted numerous clients who have received
job offers from foreign companies or need a BGV report before
the actual interview. IT applicants need to undergo a
comprehensive background verification prior to being recruited
by foreign based companies. Companies such as Mitsubishi,
Honda, Toyota, Hitachi and Subaru hire Indians to work in
factories and manufacturing units. These individuals often
have managerial roles and responsibilities and are required to
self verify themselves before they join the industry. Some of
these firms hire only those applicants who have voluntarily
gotten a background verification done through an ISO 9001
certified agency. Being in a separate country comes with its
own share of concerns and compliances and adhering to them
will only increase one’s prospects Most foreign companies have
been hiring Indian talent and the demand is only increasing
.Sectors such as hospitality are always in need of
blue-collared workforce such as chefs, the catering staff,
attendants, waiters and the like. Names such as Marriott
International, Hilton, Accor , Hyatt have a zero- tolerance
policy when it comes to unsuitable candidates. They have
stringent background screening policies in place and a black
listing will see to it that the individual does not land a job
at any of the other hotels as well. Typically, the candidate
must pass a background check during or after the hiring
process. Depending on how strict the employer's requirements
are, this can be very time consuming. Sometimes, it can even
take 2 months. Therefore, as a precautionary measure,
applicants these days have themselves and their CV /resume
checked. It is not surprising that the supply of talent in the
market far exceeds the number of jobs, especially during
Covid-19. Companies receive a plethora of applications, and
the hiring process is very resource and time intensive.
Therefore, applicants nowadays get their credentials
retrospectively verified by a reputed background screening
agency so that they can present themselves as "trustworthy"
candidates and win the favor of the potential employer.
