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.

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.
