Employment verification services in India are critical for organisations looking to confirm a candidate’s past employment details and prevent hiring fraud.
Pietos provides structured, reliable employment verification services in India, helping HR teams, founders, and compliance leaders verify tenure, designation, reporting relationships, and reasons for exit through authorised sources.
Our process focuses on accuracy, documentation, and defensibility, not assumptions or informal checks.
Who Needs Employment Verification Services
Employment verification is essential for:
HR & Talent Acquisition teams
Founders and CXOs hiring mid–senior talent
BFSI, NBFC, fintech, and regulated organisations
Companies hiring in bulk or for sensitive roles
Organisations facing frequent misrepresentation issues
Any role involving access, trust, money, or data requires proper employment verification.
Why Employment Verification Matters in India
Indian employers increasingly encounter:
Inflated job titles and responsibilities
Incorrect or extended tenure claims
Undisclosed terminations or absconding
Fake HR references or unverifiable contacts
Suppressed employment history or moonlighting
Without structured employment verification services, these risks often go undetected until after onboarding.
What Is Verified During Employment Verification
As part of our employment verification services, Pietos verifies:
Company name and employment period
Designation and role scope (as shared by employer)
Employment type (permanent / contract / consultant)
Reporting manager details (where available)
Reason for exit (subject to employer policy)
All verifications are conducted through official HR or authorised company channels only.
How Pietos Conducts Employment Verification
Pietos follows a process-driven, compliance-aware approach:
Verification requests raised through official contact points
Responses documented with date, source, and confirmation method
Clear insufficiency handling when data is unavailable
Escalation protocols for non-responsive employers
Transparent reporting with evidence-based remarks
This ensures audit-ready and defensible verification outcomes.
Employment Verification vs Reference Checks
Employment verification is often confused with reference checks, but they are not the same.
Employment verification confirms factual employment data
Reference checks capture subjective feedback
Both serve different purposes, but employment verification forms the foundation of factual validation.
