Background and reference checks have become essential in large companies to combat fraud and inflated CVs, despite their high costs. Economic Times (ET) offers tips on saving costs through informal background checks.
Scan Social Networks: Social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or Orkut can be valuable resources for gathering information about a candidate. “Facebook and LinkedIn provide real feedback about a candidate, unlike references that always portray them positively,” says Amit Bhatia, CEO of HR firm Aspire Human Capital.
Leverage Your Connections: Utilize your business network and contacts to learn more about a candidate. “Networks offer rational feedback on a candidate. You can also reach out to business contacts in the candidate’s current company for more detailed information,” suggests E Balaji, MD & CEO of Ma Foi Randstad.
Run an Internet Search: An internet search can sometimes reveal valuable information about a candidate, particularly for middle and senior management positions.
Check with Affiliates: Many professionals are members of professional organizations. “A call, email, or visit to these organizations can provide details and verify qualifications and work experience,” says HR consultant Reshmi Ghosh.
Devote Time: HR experts recommend dedicating as much time to background checks as to interviewing candidates. Balaji advises that for senior management positions, it’s beneficial to conduct thorough checks through professional agencies to mitigate risks.
