Background Screening in India: Background Check India

True tales are stranger than fiction

True tales are stranger than fiction. 'The Adventure of The Charlatan Professional. '

Let me share this with you.......

In the course of checking into the employment history of one prospective employee of one of our clients we came across a shocker.

The young engineer gave an excellent start to his professional career joining as a Civil Engineer in a very 'relia...ble' brand name in the country. He worked there for a year and two months. But the information furnished in the employment verification form contradicted the facts obtained from HR. He claimed to have worked there for more than four years. His annual ctc then was only a lac. Guess his claim.....Three lac per annum! Now what about the service certificate he had submitted to substantiate his claim? Hold your breath..... the document turned out to be a fake!

His next stop was a well known cement industry. He claimed he worked there for three years. But HR of the company did not find any such record in his personal file. One remark in his file stated that he left the organization few months after joining without any information and his whereabouts could never be traced.

This time it was a steel major which he claimed he was working for. True, he was working there but only for a year and few months. But his resume told a different story. According to his resume he worked there for more than two years. The twist happened in the story when he produced the experience certificate purportedly issued from the company to back his claim. The HR said the service certificate was not issued from their end. The document was a fake!

Equipped with a curriculum-vitae enmeshed with falsification of truth and forged documents the engineer entered a multinational specializing in inspection services regarding verification, diagnosis, and certification. After all these blood bath we were sure of some more action. This time he was cleverer. He produced a salary slip which included site allowances and comp off payments of one year. Though he conveniently declared this his annual income, the HR differed. Site allowances and comp off payments were never a part of the annual ctc.

The big question is how a major steel company and other reputed multinationals were taken for a ride?

One thing which emerges loud and clear from the whole episode is that no one bothered to dig into his employment history.
