Salary verification in India means confirming, with documents and direct checks, what a candidate actually earned — not what their resume or offer negotiation claims. Every HR team runs this check differently. Few run it well. Some accept a payslip screenshot and move on. Others call the previous employer’s HR desk and hope someone picks […]

Every week, another Indian family loses its savings to a fake Gulf job offer. GCC overseas staffing fraud has moved past isolated village-level scams. It now runs through polished LinkedIn profiles, cloned company websites, and WhatsApp recruiters who sound entirely credible. A 2026 report from the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering, co-led with the

A senior engineering leader joined a mid-sized Bengaluru IT firm in early 2024. His resume looked strong. His interviews went well. His references checked out — on the surface. Fourteen months later, however, the company had spent close to ₹40 lakh cleaning up after him, and HR was still finding new problems. This BGV case

Pre-employment drug testing in India used to sit outside standard hiring checklists. Not anymore. Aviation ground crews, pharma manufacturing floors, defence-linked plants, and heavy logistics fleets now treat substance screening as a hiring gate, not an afterthought. A single impaired worker on a shop floor or a flight line can cost a company far more

You have found a tenant. The rent matches your ask, the move-in date works, and the conversation felt easy.

That is the uncomfortable truth behind India’s tutoring boom. Millions of students now log in for one-on-one sessions with adults they have never met in person, verified only by a resume and a video

The EY employment fraud report India study should change how your HR team reads every resume that lands on its desk. Released in May 2025, EY’s “The First Firewall” study reviewed more than one million background checks across 90-plus Indian companies. The headline finding is simple. Fraud showed up in 85% of employment history checks.

India’s labour law framework changed more in one November afternoon than it had in the previous seven decades. On November 21, 2025, the Government of India brought all four labour codes into force, replacing 29 separate central laws with a single, consolidated framework covering wages, industrial relations, social security, and workplace safety. For HR teams,

A domestic worker background check India families run before hiring a cook, driver, maid, or guard is quietly becoming standard practice. It used to feel excessive. Now it feels overdue. Every day, lakhs of Indian households hand over house keys, gate codes, and daily access to a person they met through a neighbour’s reference or
