Background screening is a significant strategy which is adopted by most of the business firms while hiring individuals.

Background Screening in India is mainly adapted by companies in the FMCG, government organizations and financial sectors. Hence, a candidate before being hired is required to undergo through the process of background screening. Hiring a wrong candidate costs the company a lot and therefore the management of the company resorts to methods like background screening in order to be double sure of the fact that the prospective employee which they are about to hire is just perfect for the job.

The necessity of background verification mainly arises due to the fact that many candidates often forge their resumes by disclosing education qualifications which they have not attained at all. By doing a background verification of a particular candidate, the company can catch red handed any of the candidates who have produced a fake educational degree at the time of interview. This is mainly done by visiting all the educational institutes that has been attained by the particular candidate.

Moreover, in order to judge the character of a particular person they also conduct a criminal background check that suggests that there are no criminal charges leveled against him or her. In order to do this, they also visit the local police station and search for any complaints in the form of FIR.

Hence, by applying the methods mentioned above, the management of a company gets enough insights about the life as well as the character of a particular individual.

These investigators try to find out various reasons due to which the tenant left the previous place. I this way the landlord or the owner of the home can get an idea and decide whether he want a person or a group of persons to stay in his house or not.
