Why do Employment Check?
Employee background check assures you of the professional experience a candidate claims to have for the role you want to hire him for. Any difference between what a candidate stated and what IBC verified on dates of joining or leaving the previous company could mean a serious reliability issue and usually calls for a deeper probe before hiring.

Education Credentials
EDUCATION CHECK
12.13% of education checks conducted with universities and education institutes were discrepant.
Why do Education Check?
The top roles within any organization require candidates with very particular and credible educational qualifications. The responsibility delegated to these roles is extremely high as well. This is precisely the reason why verification of educational qualifications is extremely important.
There have been many instances in the past where candidates have lied about their educational qualifications just to apply for a lucrative role within an organization. In addition to that, candidates usually do certificate courses from top international colleges and project them in a way that the employer believes that they have done a marquee program instead. Verification of educational documents is hence the only way to uncover the truth.
Key Validations
Ensure that the candidate has not made any false claims pertaining to their academic achievements and educational qualifications.
Education verification should hence be performed on those qualification(s) of the candidate that was ‘mandatory’ for him/her to get the job that he/she has been offered. Some aspects/antecedents that we authenticate during education background checks are:
- Roll No./Registration No. of the candidate
- The course pursued/passed by the candidate

WHAT WE DO
Litigation Database
INDIA- LITIGATION DATABASE CHECK
Certain regions in India were found to have applicants with as high as a 77% failure rate on account of Litigation Searches
Why do Litigation Database Check?
Any job that demands a candidate to handle sensitive information and/or be in a position where s/he can be corrupted in course of duty requires a previous litigation search. Research conducted in the past has shown that people with a criminal history are more likely to commit the same or other crimes again if an opportunity arises.
Even when the decision to employ someone with past litigation history is at the discretion of an organization, the litigation database check at least helps in making an informed decision.

CV Validation
CV VALIDATION
Why do CV Validation?
Businesses generally rely on information provided in a resume to offer compensation packages, promotions, and job responsibilities. However, many job applicants and employees provide false credentials, education, and employment history to appear more qualified to grab lucrative jobs. Offering benefits to an unqualified individual based on an exaggerated resume could waste time, money, and efforts on training besides negatively impacting a company’s productivity and increasing the turnover rate.
CV Validation can help prevent bad hires by validating the candidate’s work experience and education before making a hiring decision.
Key Validations
At IBC, we conduct a CV validation process to validate key information related to a candidate. This involves comparing facts mentioned in the CV against details filled up in the Candidate Information Form/Background Verification Form for inconsistencies.
