Frequently Asked Questions

Background verification validates the authenticity of the information provided by your candidate, reducing the risk of potential employee fraud. More importantly, it enables you to hire trustworthy people. It answers questions like, ‘’Is this candidate who he says he is? Are the documents provided legit? Have they committed a crime before? And a lot more…

 

When individuals are aware of background checks, it can deter those with dishonest intentions and promote a safe work environment.

Companies typically conduct checks on aspects like employment history, reference checks, education qualifications, criminal history, credit history, and address verification. 

 

These are standard across most firms, from small companies to large enterprises. They provide a comprehensive overview of the candidate’s professional history and help make better hiring decisions.

Digital background verification is the process of conducting background checks using digital platforms and technologies. 

 

With digital verification, the physical address check that used to take a week can now be completed within a day via a video call. These digital alternatives help for a quicker and more efficient verification process compared to traditional methods.

Yes, we do. To ensure the fastest TAT in the industry, we initially conduct all checks digitally. 

 

Here are some of the digital equivalents of the standard checks:

– Address verification: Agent-assisted, digital address verification (DAVe) 

– Employment check: EPFO (details fetched on PF online portal)

– Qualification check: DigiLocker (Education documents fetched from Digilocker with the consent of the candidate) 

– Criminal check: Digital court record checks + eFIR database

 

However, we can also conduct all these checks in the traditional manner by reaching out to HRs and universities.

We suggest conducting pre-onboarding checks such as ID verification, Database checks, and Criminal checks. These checks help determine if investing time and resources in hiring a candidate is worthwhile. 

 

Once the offer is accepted, you can proceed with comprehensive checks including employment history, educational qualification verification, and address verification.

TAT, or Turnaround Time, refers to the duration needed to complete a background check for an employee, starting from initiation until the final report is delivered. Similarly, the median TAT represents the time taken to complete 50% of all initiated cases.

When a case is labeled as “Amber,” it means that there is some sort of insufficiency or inadequate data provided by the candidate.

IDfy’s median TAT is 1 day for pre-onboarding checks and 5 days for comprehensive checks.

In the industry, the typical BGV median TAT is 21 days for comprehensive checks and 3 days for pre-onboarding checks. At IDfy, we surpass these standards significantly.

IDfy offers you several ways to gather your candidate’s documents:

IDfy’s OTP-less onboarding link is sent via WhatsApp, SMS, and email.

You can upload candidate data in bulk on IDfy’s portal.

Pull candidate data from your HRMS (Integration required).

The best part about IDfy is that they are technology-first and integration-ready. Decisions are automated and we are getting the best kind of response time (TAT) when compared to our existing vendor. Their team was humble, swift in response to our requests, and valued our time always, which kind of sealed the deal with them.

At Bharat Vikas Group, we struggled with post-hire issues caused by forged documents. Now, with IDfy, we are able to detect potential forgeries well before the candidate joins us. Not just this, IDfy took our background verifications from 3-4 days to just 12 hours, transforming our recruitment efficiency significantly.
