Eliminate The Hassles In The Employee Background Check Procedure

Before hiring a new employee, most of the companies (especially IT) do a background check on them. What type of information is collected from the reference check varies based on the need of the employer? For example, let’s assume that you are joining a new company named DotX (fictional). Before giving the offer, the employer can call your colleague or immediate supervisor in your previous company and ask their feedback about you. Some companies may even contact the one or more universities you had studied and verify your credentials. Generally, companies will outsource this checking procedure to the background screening companies which will take care of this job and submit a report to the employer.

Why do the companies prefer doing the reference check before giving the offer? Because it is found that almost 50% of the resumes contain fake information. Thus, it becomes necessary for the employer to validate the documents/information which is submitted by the candidates so that they can avoid recruiting unskilled professionals. If the background check fails, then the employer has the right to terminate an employee or decline the offer to a candidate.

Generally, any professional resume will have the following three sections:

• Work history/experience
• Academic/Educational qualifications
• Skillset

Let’s say that a fictional candidate named John claims that he did his Bachelor’s degree in Cambridge University and he is specialized in Java programming. The educational qualification can be verified easily by contacting the concerned department in the university. But, how to validate the skill set of the candidate? Of course, the employer can conduct a test on the specific category to verify the candidate’s claim. However, the employer can check his/her resume only by doing different types of verification which are time-consuming and expensive.

To simplify the process of background check, SpringRole is developing a blockchain based solution which will help the employers to hire the right candidates. For that, it is launching an innovative attestation system using which all the attributes of a professional’s resume can be easily attested and verified. In the SpringRole platform, the attester can be any of the following:

• Individual – An individual can endorse other members of the platform
• Companies – Can add attestations of their previous employer’s work experience
• Universities – Can confirm that someone had studied at their university
• Course providers – Platforms like Courseera can certify that someone has completed a course
• Examination providers – Third parties can conduct the exams to test the skills and attest the outcome for the same.
