Hello Sandy,
Almost all firms conduct a thorough verification of their shortlisted candidates. This includes cross checking the information provided by the candidate about his/her educational qualification, previous jobs and also if the candidate has any criminal background.
Some firms do it by themselves, but mostly larger firms outsource it to third party agencies who will conduct the verification on the firms behalf
In case any discrepancies are found, the offer given to the candidate is liable to be withdrawn by the firm
Hope this answers your question.
Regards
Mahesh

Thank you Mahesh. Good info.
Hi Sandy,
Just adding few more points.
As said above, Verification is done to find out whether information provided by the candidate in an interview and an Application Blank is true and candidate is not foolong the company by providing false work ex, qualifications etc. to get the job.
The detailed verification may take time anywhere between 10 days to 1 or even 2 months. This depends on voume of new hires and on whether company does it by itself or outsources.
Even if it is found after joining that info provided is false, employment is terminated with immd effect.

allow me to clarify the importance of background checks;
As per ISO 27001(information security mgmt) and ISO 28001(supply chain mgmt), background check is one amongst the 127 crucial componenets.
CTPAT(custom Trade partnership against terrroism) by US custom Border Patrol clears cargo of approved supply chain players with almost negligible checks and the vendor saves 21 days.
now the question arises as to what level should the background check needs to be done:
The finest one is tracing an individual's footprints right from the place of birth, neighbourhood, school, college n so on.
Now comes the inhibiting factors time n cost : the correct answer depends solely on what level of security mgmt do you need ?
few rudimenatry types of check incl:
servan verification form
tenant verification form
both done free by police dept.
let me know if you need further help.
