Pre-Employment Verification Case

Client Concern

A corporate client approached our agency after shortlisting a candidate for a senior position. While the candidate appeared highly qualified on paper, the company wanted a discreet verification of employment history, credentials, and professional conduct before final hiring.

The investigation was carried out across multiple locations in Delhi and nearby corporate zones.

Objective

  • Verify educational qualifications
  • Confirm past employment records
  • Assess professional reputation
  • Identify any discrepancies in resume claims
  • Evaluate overall behavioral reliability 

Investigation Process

Employment Verification

Previous workplaces were contacted discreetly to confirm:

  • Job roles and duration
  • Performance history
  • Reason for job transitions
  • Professional conduct

Key Findings

  • ✔ One employment tenure was overstated in duration
    ✔ A job role description did not match official HR records
    ✔ Performance feedback from a previous employer raised concerns

A detailed confidential report was delivered to the client with verified evidence and clear risk indicators.

Based on the findings, the client decided to delay onboarding and reconsider the candidate for the role after further clarification.
