CHAPTER – I

EXECUTIVE SUMMERY


EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

An organization is made up of competencies, which we can loosely call 'capital'.

Its key components are 'customer capital', 'structural capital' and 'human capital'.

Broadly a company's strength arises out of its customer base, which purchases

its products.

This customer capital triggers a number of key decisions such as new product

and service packages new designs in anticipation of customer preferences and

new locations from which a number of customers could be profitably served.

We have heard of a company being acquired purely because of the strength of

its customer base. Besides customers, the strength of an organization arises out

of the efficiency of its operations

ONICRA sees human capital as an essential and vital resource and this has

provided the essence of pre/post employment background screening services

with the enthusiasm of working as an Empanelled Employment Background

Checker with Nasscom and NSDL for the vision, which is – National Skills

Registry In India the customers want better services at reasonable price. This

has developed a

spree of competition among the various other industries which provides the

same categories of services all over India. A large number of companies


provide a lot of services. The report is based on the project “Mapping

expectation and measuring

Satisfaction of primary customers of Onicra Credit Rating Agency of India

Ltd”.

The project has broadly been carried in around Delhi and NCR areas. In the

initial phase I visited a large number of domestic and Multinational companies

in Delhi and NCR area have and gathered information as far as possible for the

benefit of the project at large. After conducting the study within some

constraints, my findings were as far As transparent but chances of error are

possible as the saying “To err is Human “

ESSENCE OF THE SERVICE IS NOBLE, pre/post checks adds additional

value to the organizational culture as, firstly the repeated cost will cut down and

employers will be always in line with the habit,

In this short report you will find the description of employment background

screening services, the process followed and the basic requirements for the

process. As the report progress towards conclusion it gives fair idea about the

needs of this service, prospects, competitors and reason for all with some facts

and figures and supporting articles

EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND SCREENING

INTRODUCATION OF EBS

WHY EBS

EBS TOOLS

EBS PROCESS

BENEFITS OF EBS


INTORDUCATION OF EBS

‘Employee Background Screening Services’ is a way to find out as much

as about the skills and behaviors an applicant will bring to an organization,"

Pre-Employment Background Screening is the process of thoroughly verifying

the educational and professional qualifications and employment history of a job

applicant and conducting a search of appropriate public records in order to

ascertain any information, which is relevant to his or her application. The results

of the process are fully documented in a standardized, easy to read report.

Between 10% and 15% of the candidates for a BPO/ITES job make false claims

in their applications, according to industry sources. Overstatement of credentials

and previous background by applicants has led to BPO firms seeking help from

external professional service screening agencies to conduct identity verification,

pre-employment status, past criminal records, and other background checks. So

spurt in employment opportunities generated by the booming IT-enabled

services and business process outsourcing (ITES/BPO) sector has spun off an

ancillary industry - companies screening the background of

prospective employees.

Checks on backgrounds and building effective methodologies to blacklist

people with bad track records is one of the ways to deal with a problematic

scenario and demonstrates the urgent need for individual checks and verification


before hiring. EBS - Operates around the notion that employers have a need and

a right to know about the individuals they are bringing into their organization —

the consequences of not knowing are potentially devastating, especially for

smaller businesses.

There are basically two types of Employment Background Screening they are as

follows:-

Pre- Employment Background Screening

Post- Employment Background Screening

Pre- Employment Background Screening Services is basically deals with the

screening the employees which is mainly considered the basic hygienic

measures before they are recruited for the particular post in the organizations

Post- Employment Background Screening Services is basically deals with the

screening the employees which is also considered as the basic hygienic

measures it basically deals with the screening the prospective existing employee

those who are working in the organization.

Both pre and post employment screening services are important and considered

the basic hygienic measures from the organization point of View, even though

Post employment screening therefore takes on a wider ambit than pre-

employment screening. It will deliver to the employer vital information on


lifestyles and social issues, apart from the more conventional driver's license,

educational qualification, credit and criminal record checks

Screening is globally a $6 billion business, and pre-employment screening is

considered mandatory by more than 93 percent of Fortune 1,000 companies.

92% of the companies have a formal Pre-Employment Background Screening

program in place in the USA.In the Indian IT/BPO/KPO industry; it has been

gaining significance to ensure that client confidentiality clauses are maintained

and also to prevent unwanted people from accessing critical information.

Increasingly, organizations are seeking specialized services to ascertain that the

candidate is what he claims to be and also find out other relevant details that

have not been disclosed by him.

The aforementioned need of booming IT industry is seeking services for

employee verification. The types of verification are from organization to

organization and is determined by the need (and often the budget set)—from

ascertaining whether the permanent address given on the CV is actually true to

finding out other details e.g.

the nature of work being done by the candidate; performance standard, verifying

qualifications, whether he was sacked from the previous company or left on his

own; any criminal records; investigating entire family background; whether an

alcoholic/womanizer;


Below are descriptions of various screening tools, including type of

information, why the information is important? They are following:-

Education verification

Criminal verification

Address verification

Reference Check

Employment verification

Health Check


Why Employment Background Screening?

Hiring a wrong person might lead to:

Fraud and dishonesty by employees

Disruptive and dangerous staff members

Negligent hiring lawsuits

Unqualified and incompetent

Staff members

Low productivity:

Estimates for the IT/ ITES industry reveal that 15-17% of the people have

discrepancies in their records with 70% of them relating to false previous

employment record and the balance to false educational qualifications.

The risk of hiring a wrong candidate is far more expensive than conducting a

pre recruitment screening check

A SOLUTION:

A comprehensive, systematic, consistent, objective and well-documented

ONICRA’S Employment Background Screening program


Low employee morale

High staff turnover

Ballooning recruitment

costs

Escalating training costs

EBS TOOLS

1) EDUCATION VERIFICATION

The Term “Education Verification” is very important factor in employment

background screening. in this step the verification agencies are check the

employee’s education. The verification agencies are check the employee’s

degree, diplomas and certificates and dates of attended, And also verify the

education institutes where employee’s studies. The companies verify the

education ability to do the job.

2) CRIMINAL VERIFICATION

The Second term are “criminal verification”. it is not used by all the companies.

But certain big and repetitive companies are used the criminal verification.

Checks in India essentially involve obtaining local criminal record information

equivalent to Country Court records in the US from the police office-having

jurisdiction over the applicant’s permanent residential address In this

verification the agencies are checks the employee’s local criminal records. In

this process including the scanning of public records, searches for criminal

records, credit, civil litigation and educational and professional record search,

identity check. Conducting a background check is the norm and considered a

basic hygiene measure


3) ADDRESS VERIFICATION

The Next Step of employee background screening is the “Address verification”.

In this step the agencies checks the applicants address. In this verification

agencies verify that an applicant is providing accurate and honest information.

From time to time applicants may conceal their identity or previous address in

an attempt to hide prior criminal convictions. The address check will cross-

reference current and previous addresses and other aliases or maiden names that

the applicant may have used in the past. It is the first step in conducting a

thorough employee background check. Establishing the true identity of the

applicant Election ID card, Driving License, Verify the past addresses Checking

present address.

4) REFERENCE CHECK

The next step of employment background screening is “References check”. In

this checking the verifying agencies check the client’s all references. And

personally meet them and locate the more details of client. Verify agencies also

the check what is relationship between client and references.


5) EMPLYOMENT VERFICIATION

The next step of EBS is “employment verification”. In this verification the

verify agencies checks the employee pervious background and Employment

history including final salary drawn Duties, responsibility, conduct and

performance Integrity Teamwork Known conflicts at workplace Reasons for

leaving Eligibility for rehiring Pre employment screening service to gain an

insight into the work ethics of your applicants from people who have first-hand

knowledge such as their supervisors.

The HR of the respective organization is contacted to verify the following

details:

Dates of Employment

Designation Held

6) HEALTH CHECK

The final check of EBS is “health check”. The verify agencies check the

employee health and fitness. And certify to doctors for employee health

BENEFIT OF EMPLOYEE SCREENING

Increase Productivity

Pre employment screening also promotes a drug free workplace by

excluding candidates with serious drug offenses. Consequently, employee

screening can lead to a more efficient and productive workforce

Decrease Liability

Developing solid pre employment screening policies and engaging in employee

screening can show that the employer has exercised due diligence in the hiring

process, helping to avoid negligent hiring lawsuits

Reduce Workplace Violence/Criminal Check

Your employees want to feel safe on the job. Employee background checks and

other pre employment screening tools can help weed out applicants with a

violent past, decreasing the threat of a violent incident in the workplace.


Combat Fraud and Theft/Education/Employment

previous education and employment. Additionally, pre employment screening

can identify prospective employees with a history of Theft or embezzlement and

eliminate them from the hiring process.

Security in a broader sense and also share the risk of liability of HRD-Dept. in

an organization while recruiting an employee in for the particular in an

organization

RESEARCH

METHODOLOGY

PROJECT DETAILS

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

DATA ANALYSIS

SOURCE OF DATA


PROJECT DETAILS

The basic groundwork for the project entailed lot of data collection and analysis

from various corporate houses and software companies. As a trend it was

observed that Software companies and BPOs experienced high attrition levels

due to various reasons like over demanding and uncondusive work place

environment, poaching by competitors, etc. One of them was misleading

information provided by Employees during the time of joining. This leads to

portray wrong signals about the recruiting procedures of the organization and

also if an organization is very particular about ethical hiring, it will ensure that

all data provided by employees are validated.

With this background in mind a questionnaire was administered to the corporate

and the responses were collated. Each question was analyzed and results were

recorded.


OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

• Spread awareness about this process.

• Find out the companies which like to adopt this technique.

• Find out the factors which influence the companies.

• What the companies are looking from Employee Verification Agencies?

• Gap Analysis between Prospective Customers and Verification Agencies

To get an insight into the Employee Background Screening which is an

emerging trend in the human resource recruitment and staffing solution with

special focus on BPOs, KPOs, BTOs, Software Companies and IT enabled

services and how companies are seeking these services for more effective

staffing processes.


DATA ANALYSIS

This part of the chapter consists of research work which work which has been

undertaken by the researcher before discussing in detail let us have the clear

view of some basic concept, Marketing, Marketing Research, Questionnaire,

Meaning of Survey & its Methods, Meaning of Feedback how it is important

There are two types of Research Method.

1) Survey Method

2) Experimental Method

Survey Method

The Survey method is complex operations which require some technical

knowledge. Usually three general methods are used for conducting this survey

method they are as follows,

(i) Interview/Questionnaire

(ii) Mail Survey

(iii) Telephonic Survey


Here in this research work survey method has been widely executed the three

phase of this survey method i.e., personal interview/questionnaire, mail survey,

telephonic survey.

Experimental Method

This method is more related to the production aspects of an organization. The

quality of the ultimate result of continuous research and experiments.


SOURCE OF DATA

Data’s are the useful information or any forms of document designed in a

systematic and standardize manner which are used for some further

proceedings. One of the important tools for conducting marketing research is

the availability of necessary and useful data. Some time the data are available

readily in one form or the other and some time the data are collected afresh. The

sources of information fall under two categories, Internal Sources and External

Sources.

In this particular project the major sources were as follows:-

Competitive Study

Corporate Presentation

Objections and their Possible Solutions

Association with National and International Clients/Partner

While providing customized solutions we learn more


There are two type of source used in project.

A. Internal Sources

A business organization has definitely to keep certain records such as financial

accounting records, sales records, and other information relating to the business

process, these records provides ample information, good use can be made by the

various information which are organization usually keeps for its own purposes

in the future. Here in this case we have got lot many information from inside the

organization such as readymade data base of the various companies in Delhi and

NCR regions, sample project reports of the previous year some valuable

information from our guide Mr. Vivek Sir relating to the operational system in

Employee Background Screening Services in Onicra etc.

B. External Sources

When the information or any forms of document are collected from outside the

organization, it basically happens when the internal records are insufficient and

the required information is not readily available, the organization will have to

depend on the external sources. Here in this case the external sources are

internet, magazine, paper cutting etc. In external sources the research has

been broadly divided in to two categories they are as follows,


(I) Primary Data:-

The primary data was collected through the following activities:

Administering the questionnaire to the human resource managers of a

select group of companies

Telephonic Conversation

In house brain storming sessions

(II) Secondary Data:-

The secondary data was collected through the following:

Online Research material of the Various Institution/Agencies directly or

indirectly involved with Employee Background Screening, which is a new Step

towards Consolidation of software and IT manpower in the Industry.

RECOMMENDATION

Onicra Credit Rating Agency of India Ltd. basically provides the commercial

service since 1993, and pioneer in individual credit rating i.e., Only National

Individual Credit Rating Agency in India, as Onicra has stepped in to this

service (EBSS) since last eight/nine month, therefore it will take some time to

get the fruitful result of this service, as par as suggestions is concern effective

utilization of the brand image of the Onicra should be done, through the proper

channel and creating the demand and understanding the requirement of the

client is very much important.

There are some recommendation that is felt they are following :-

• Advertising: Most of companies even don’t know about this service. So,

it needs advertising at large scale by means of Surveys, Print Media etc.

• Age Verification: Some companies (esp. Govt. undertaking), Age of job

applicants matter. So, EBS should include Age Verification.

• Quality: Mostly, this type of services has been adopted by big

companies. So, they are quality-conscious rather than price. So, Quality is

the key to grab the market share.


• Customer Relationship Management: Today CRM plays a very vital

role in marketing. Hence company should keep in the mind the

importance of after sales & support functions.

CONCLUSION

There is a huge opportunity available in the market. Most of the companies

either don’t avail these services or don’t know about these services. Only the

company needs a good marketing strategy and well execution of that.

From the effective survey it has been clearly found that there is a great demand

and high potential of this service in future in India Corporate, the only thing is
