PROFILE CHECK

A recent survey revealed that 78% of job applicants, from a sample size of 400 people, considered misrepresenting themselves in a job application in order to secure the job. Recruiters and employers know this! Many foreign companies hire people from India and the applicant or prospective job candidate needs to voluntarily get a profile check certificate to prove their background to the employer, without which they won’t even entertain the candidate for an interview. If you are a foreign/overseas job consultant or a job applicant to an overseas company, you need a reputable and accredited background check agency to provide you with a detailed BGV report. We have assisted numerous clients who have received job offers from foreign companies or need a BGV report before the actual interview.

Companies such as Mitsubishi, Honda, Toyota, Hitachi and Subaru hire Indians to work in factories and manufacturing units.

Some of these firms hire only those applicants who have voluntarily gotten a background verification done through an ISO 9001 certified agency. Being in a separate country comes with its own share of concerns and compliances and adhering to them will only increase one’s prospects Most foreign companies have been hiring Indian talent and the demand is only increasing .Sectors such as hospitality are always in need of blue-collared workforce such as chefs, the catering staff, attendants, waiters and the like. Names such as Marriott International, Hilton, Accor , Hyatt have a zero- tolerance policy when it comes to unsuitable candidates. They have stringent background screening policies in place and a black listing will see to it that the individual does not land a job at any of the other hotels as well. Typically, the candidate must pass a background check during or after the hiring process. Depending on how strict the employer’s requirements are, this can be very time consuming. Sometimes, it can even take 2 months. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, applicants these days have themselves and their CV /resume checked. It is not surprising that the supply of talent in the market far exceeds the number of jobs, especially during Covid-19. Companies receive a plethora of applications, and the hiring process is very resource and time intensive. Therefore, applicants nowadays get their credentials retrospectively verified by a reputed background screening agency so that they can present themselves as “trustworthy” candidates and win the favor of the potential employer.

In a recent survey, 5 out of 6 people misrepresented themselves during the hiring process. Resumes are outdated and lacking trust. A profile check certificate is the document that validates that the contents of the resume or CV are true and authentic.
The typical content of a resume relates to education, previous employment, and extracurricular activities. Employers are most interested in your education and past employment because they want to make sure that you are indeed capable of handling the tasks they want you to perform. They also want to check your integrity by talking to your previous employers and references.

Obtaining a profile check certificate can prevent you from failing a background check when you apply for a job in the future. Job applicants may not remember the true date/tenure of their previous employment and may mention inaccurate dates. During the background check process this will be flagged and jeopardize one’s chances of being selected. This is just one example out of many. Hence, getting a profile check certificate avoids such disastrous situations and helps you accurately fill out a job application form that matches the claims in your resume. Recruiters prefer verified candidates, especially when hiring for contract positions and gigs. A profile check certificate can be attached to your job application and also proided to a foreign employer.
A curriculum vitae or resume is simply a personal marketing document. The former is longer than a typical resume, but both serve the same purpose, which is to apply for a job. The document is filled out, formatted, and sent by the job applicant themselves. Some applicants even hire professionals to create their CV. Now the question arises, “What are the contents of CV and how true are they?”. Since the CV or resume is a personal marketing document, it can be exaggerated and even embellished. Therefore, employers need to verify the content by hiring a reputed BGV agency to do the background check.
