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.

The typical content of a resume relates to education, previous employment, and extracurricular activities. Employers are most interested in your education and past employment because they want to make sure that you are indeed capable of handling the tasks they want you to perform. They also want to check your integrity by talking to your previous employers and references.

Obtaining a profile check certificate can prevent you from failing a background check when you apply for a job in the future. Job applicants may not remember the true date/tenure of their previous employment and may mention inaccurate dates. During the background check process this will be flagged and jeopardize one’s chances of being selected. This is just one example out of many. Hence, getting a profile check certificate avoids such disastrous situations and helps you accurately fill out a job application form that matches the claims in your resume. Recruiters prefer verified candidates, especially when hiring for contract positions and gigs.

A curriculum vitae or resume is simply a personal marketing document. The former is longer than a typical resume, but both serve the same purpose, which is to apply for a job. The document is filled out, formatted, and sent by the job applicant themselves. Some applicants even hire professionals to create their CV. Now the question arises, “What are the contents of CV and how true are they?”. Since the CV or resume is a personal marketing document, it can be exaggerated and even embellished. Therefore, employers need to verify the content by hiring a reputed BGV agency to do the background check.
