Lessens Risks of Uninformed Hiring | Trust-worthy Workforce You have a responsibility to safeguard your clients, employees and keep your business safe. Lack of background checks can lead to dreadful crimes leading to loss of intellectual rights, property, loss of goodwill among customers and damage to workforce. IIRIS Verified employee screening services are a critical way to protect the many facets of your business that need to be protected.
A number of industries such as home healthcare, financial, and insurance that require the handling of other people’s personal and private information, require background screenings. But if your business does not operate in or provides services to these industries, there are still enough crucial reasons to run them for an organization’s own security as mentioned above. In India, for MNC’s, the laws of the other countries are also applicable.
There cannot be a standard background check package for all industries. Every industry has different set of employees with different qualifications and levels of employment. Companies need packages based on business necessities and types of jobs. A high-level management employee may need a more stringent testing called “Critical Hire Check” than a basic minimum-wage employee. The gravity of screening must reflect the risks arising from criminal misconduct in each specific position. While crafting the packages, both companies and screening service providers need to ensure that screening guidelines are neither too lenient that they run the risk of hiring criminals, nor they are too stern to miss opportunities to hire well-qualified applicants who pose no threat.
Below are the basic checks, which can be considered:

Verifications:
Roles that carry level of responsibilities and have abilities to impact organization to an extent, the organizations thus should positively verify the claims that a subject makes about their Education or work history.
It is advisable to conduct the background screening during the following times:
Yes, we would need employee’s permission and take their consent for conducting background screening in order to determine eligibility for employment. Two forms specifically must be completed by the applicant, the authorization and the disclosure, other than the Job application form, as per FCRA [FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT].
Find a copy of the FCRA at: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/031224fcra.pdf
Time taken for conducting the background screening is popularly known as “Turnaround Time”. Since, in India most of the data is not digitised/centralised, it may take about couple of days or even weeks if source of documents aren’t received well by the employee. If all documents are received in time, it takes about 10 – 15 days’ time for background screening in India. Note: The turnaround time for any service will be notified by IIRISVerified team before the order is finalized with our client. For more information, you can write at contactus@iirisconsulting.com
Yes, it is important to outsource background screening to a reliable risk screening service provider backed by years of expertise and a strong team who are independent, neutral, not bound by any emotional relationship with employees, which may not be the case if background screening is done in-house in an organization. Outsourcing screening requirements to an expert risk screening provider will not only ensure a neutral background check of the candidates but also ensure that checks are done at all levels without compromise.
