Hi Opera,

I fully agree with Vinay about the things he has mentioned to verify with the previous employer. In my opinion, it depends on the level at which you are recruiting a person. For a senior level position, you can also check the following:

1. Man management skills
2. Leadership qualities
3. Integrity rating
4. Ability to work under high pressure

It is always better if the reference is checked with the previous reporting authorities. All the very best to you.

Hi there,

Please refrain from mentioning your company name (Alturki) here. It is considered one of the less reputable companies globally. It is widely known that your company is currently facing significant challenges. I even came across your company's recruitment email, which requires candidates to commit to a six-month notice period. Even rocket manufacturing companies do not impose such lengthy notice periods on their senior scientists.

Moreover, if my memory serves me right, six years ago, your company failed to pay its workers due to financial difficulties stemming from questionable management practices. This pattern seems to persist to this day. Additionally, Alturki pales in comparison to major subcontracting companies like Galfar Al Misnad, Arabian Industries, and Al Hassan. Therefore, what kind of reference checks does your company necessitate for senior staff involved in projects such as 'closet' and 'bathroom door' fittings?

Dear ,
Has I any where mentioned that I am implementing the same kind of practice in my present job...Any forum member has not got the right to share the practice which he / she was following in his previous assignments????????? PERSONS LIKE YOU WORKING WITH THE NO.1 COMPANY OF OMAN (I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT IS CORRECT????) ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO GIVE THEIR OPINION???????
Are we talking about the HR practices and procedures OR discussing about the ranking of the company... Is this a forum to express the personal depression / grievances?????
I don't want to reply in such words which you had utilised in your post... as I have seen your color....

I worked in a company 'A' for a year and then next I worked in another company 'B' for one year, and presently I am working in another company 'C'. Now I have got an offer from one of the largest MNCs, say company 'D'. I have submitted all employment-related documents to 'D' for Background verification.

Company 'A' is run very unprofessionally. It's run by unethical people. They are very powerful people and are not afraid of any legal consequences. I have the offer letter from them signed by the then General Manager of the company who has also moved out recently. I have the Relieving Letter signed by the MD himself. Out of one year of employment, I received salaries in cash for just the first 2 months, May 2013 and June 2013. From the 3rd month i.e. July 13, I received through Bank Transfers only. Although I received Cash in the Second Month i.e. June 13, they deducted TDS and deposited in my name. So, on my PAN Ledger for June 13, it shows a tax credit from company 'A'. That is also proof that they paid me Salary. I had an EPF Account there as well. Apart from the first two months i.e. May 13 & June 13, they deducted my PF and also paid every month to the EPFO from July 13 till the last month of my employment. Although Company 'A' deducted Income Tax from my salaries regularly, I do not have the Form 16 from Company 'A'. But again, my TDS is reflected on Form 26AS, which can be downloaded anytime from the Income Tax Website. That was the background of my employment in Company 'A'.

Now my questions are:

1. What to do if company 'A' ignores or denies certifying the details of my employment when the Background Verification Agency on behalf of Company 'D' visits there?

2. In case company 'A' does not provide details or provides false information that does not match with those given by me to Company 'D', will the Background Verification Agency or the Recruiting Company 'D' inform me? Will I be provided an opportunity to prove myself by providing other supporting documents like Salary Account Statements? Or will they simply put a Red Mark on my profile and dismiss my appointment?

NOTE: As per the initial requirement of Company 'D', I have only provided the Offer Letter and Relieving Letter of Company 'A'. As of now, I have not provided any extra supporting documents like Salary Account Statement. I thought I should give those documents only if they ask for them and not before unnecessarily.

Thanks

Can you suggest what questions should be asked while doing a discrete reference check for Directors and above?
