Technological Advancements and Their Advantages in White-Collar Employee Screening(Part – 2)

In the previous blog, we discussed the technological advancements in the background verification and onboarding space, and their advantage over traditional ways of conducting employee screening. We spoke about five important checks/services offered by AuthBridge. In this blog, we touch upon a few more checks that technology has transformed.

Employment Check:

Organisations make it a point to check whether the individual has previously worked in the organisation they claim as a lot of individuals use fake certificates in their resume to get the extra edge. Traditionally, companies would have an entire team for reaching out to the ex-employers for confirmation of past employment.

Challenges:

It’s a fact that having a team to communicate with the ex-employers of each potential candidate is a costly affair with room for error due to the multiple follow-ups, delays, and inefficiencies involved. It would be unfair for organisations to invest time, effort, and money and still be left in doubt.

Our Tech Innovation: 

Over the years, AuthBridge has tried to create a simple, fast, and error-free process for employment verification using the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) for conducting their employee search. AuthBridge facilitates background screening of India’s workforce by using just the name of the candidate and the company to validate their current/past employment details. This process saves time, requires only two antecedents, and mitigates risk and cost due to minimum human involvement.

Senior Executives and Key Hire Screening:

Organisations usually make it a point to hire the best individuals for leadership roles. A leader in the true sense is someone who not only has industry knowledge and expertise but also someone who can work, mentor, and support their team in every possible way. Moreover, senior level frauds are far too dangerous for an organisation’s reputation and culture than frauds by other employees.

 Challenges:

Traditionally, organisations did not go the extra mile to conduct background checks on senior executives and key hires because of the glorious work record and position these candidates hold. Using the same parameters for verification of executives as for others fall short of assessing these leaders on softer skills that make a successful leader.
