Corra Group Expands Employment Screening Background Checks for Indian Candidates
El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- Corra Group has expanded the types of background checks it offers for Indian employment candidates. Employers can now choose from a wider range of background checks regarding Indian job applicants.
“We are advancing our employment screening process for India,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. “As more employers hire Indian candidates, especially in the technology and healthcare industries, we found it essential to offer easy access to a wider range of background checks. We are offering Indian criminal records, civil records, education verification and employment verification, and the extensive Indian database searches that reveal any criminal and civil sanctions and malfeasance.
“These background searches enable an employer to better review his candidate’s personal and professional history, “said Basichis. But perhaps more importantly, they help employers meet compliance standards that are mandated directly through contractual relationships with the American government, or indirectly through business arrangements with larger multinational corporations who in turn have government contracts. The Indian searches we offer meet the federal contract compliance mandates as well as the compliance requirements from multinational companies.”
Basichis pointed out that it is vital to secure authentic education verification and to confirm that the candidate has his degree from an accredited college or university and not a diploma mill. He also noted the increasing frequency of employment mills where a bogus company sets up a series of phone banks and verifies employment with non-existent countries.
“With International education verifications, it is essential for the employer to insist his candidate provide Corra Group with a copy of his diploma, as well as his roll number and seat number,” said Basichis. “Not everyone remembers his roll number and seat number. That we understand. But everyone has a copy of his diploma. I hate to tell you how many diplomas we have seen that have been created or modified through the magic of Photoshop. You have to check these things out.”
With greater frequency, Basichis noted, compliance mandates include the list of sanctions similar to the Global Terror Watch List, only with a purely Indian focus. Such searches on these databases include Labor and Services Violations, Customs Violations, Indian Public Exposed Persons lists, Debarred Persons lists, those who have been sanctioned for corruption, civil malfeasance, and national security matters.
“We have a number of clients who need our employment screening services from India,” said Basichis. “We are familiar with all the different Indian background checks and know what is required to fulfill these searches correctly. We have people on the ground in India, who are knowledgeable and can facilitate background checks in every part of the country.”
