What is the standard process for doing back ground verification for new hires? Is it done before the candidate joins the organization or it is done after the candidate joins the organization.

Before making a decision to hire, we need to obtain the feedback of the employee regarding his behavior. Based on this feedback, we have to decide whether to hire or not. Therefore, this evaluation should be done before issuing the offer letter.

Hi,

Before hiring, HR personnel should conduct a credential check on the candidate to determine their suitability. This verification process involves obtaining feedback from the HR manager of the candidate's previous employment. I have personally executed this procedure in my previous role, particularly within the hotel industry.

Hi Kamesh,

As per my knowledge, in one of the organizations, they did a professional reference check, and then they had given him an offer letter. When the candidate accepted the offer, they asked him to produce copies of her previous employment service certificates/experience certificates, educational certificates (like degree certificates, mark sheets), professional references, and payslips for background verification.

The offer letter states that the offer/employment is conditional on a good background verification. So, the question arises: will the background verification be done before he joins the company or after he joins the company?

Thanks.

As it is not clear, he is not able to decide whether he can put his resignation with his current employer.

Hi Sudhir,

The candidate has been asked to provide documents for background verification only after the final interview was done, and he accepted the offer. He has not joined the organization yet. As he has recently moved back to India and is not sure about the background verification process, he is unable to decide whether to resign from his current organization or not.

He wants to know at what stage the background verification is done and the offer is confirmed. Based on that, he would like to determine at what stage he needs to resign from his current company.

Thanks,
James

Hi Jameslewis,

This is industry and position-specific. For instance, in banking services, the complete verification is done before the employee joins or for the employees joining at critical positions, their background verification is done beforehand.

In some organizations, the professional reference check is done before the employees join, and the full-fledged background check is conducted through the agency at the time of joining as there is always a possibility that the candidate may withdraw the offer, and the company would not wish to bear the cost of the background check of the candidate not joining.

Hi Satpreet, Can the candidate then insist HR to conduct the BGC and he then joins after the BCC is good? Else, he is risking his job if he joins before the BGC is completed.
