01 —When to call us

Does this sound familiar?

You don’t need proof to talk to us — only a question you can’t answer on your own.

  • You are hiring for a role with access to cash, stock, data or client relationships.
  • A CV lists a degree or a former employer you can’t easily confirm.
  • There are gaps in the employment history that are explained away.
  • You are hiring a driver, cook, nanny or caregiver who will be inside your home.
  • You are hiring in volume and need a consistent, documented process.

If any of this feels close, a short confidential conversation is a sensible first step.

02 —What we look into

The ground we cover.

Agreed with you in writing before work begins. You choose what matters; we leave out what doesn’t.

  • Identity and address

    We check identity documents and verify the current and permanent addresses with a physical visit.

  • Education

    Degrees and certificates are confirmed with the university or institution that issued them.

  • Employment history

    Previous employers confirm designation, tenure and reason for leaving, and we flag any difference from the CV.

  • Court record search

    Civil and criminal court records are searched in the districts where the candidate has lived and worked.

  • References and reputation

    Conversations with referees and, for senior roles, discreet inquiries within the industry.

  • Domestic staff checks

    For families: identity, the address in the home town, previous households and any court record — alongside the police verification you file.

03 —How we work the case

Careful, lawful, step by step.

Every step is documented and agreed with you. If something can’t be done lawfully, we say so before you commit.

  1. Agree the check package

    Basic, standard or senior-level, depending on the role. You know the scope and the fee before we start.

  2. Collect consent and documents

    The candidate signs a consent form and shares their documents. We never run a check without consent.

  3. Verify at the source

    Institutions, employers and court records are checked directly. Addresses are visited in person.

  4. Report with a clear status

    Each check is marked verified, discrepancy or unable to verify, with notes you can act on.

04 —What you receive

Facts you can act on.

Every finding is sourced and dated, and anything we could not confirm is marked as such.

Contents of your file

  1. A one-page summary with a clear status for every check
  2. A detailed report with sources and dates of verification
  3. Address verification with dated, geotagged visit photographs
  4. Court record search results, district by district
  5. For volume hiring, a tracker your HR team can audit

Typical timelineUsually 3–7 working days per candidate. Some universities take longer to confirm degrees.

05 —Where we draw the line

What we will never do.

Indian law protects everyone’s privacy — including the person you are asking about. These limits protect your case, too.

  • We never run a check without the person’s written consent.
  • We do not obtain bank, medical or call records.
  • We use what we learn only for the purpose you engaged us for.

06 —Illustrative case files

A typical case, illustrated.

Composites, not real clients’ cases — but the methods are exactly how we work.

These case files are illustrative — composites written to show typical cases and the methods we use. They are not records of real clients, and the people in them are invented.

Questions

Before you decide.

Straight answers about employee background verification. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly — in confidence.

Do you need the candidate’s consent?

Yes, always, in writing. It is the right way to do it, it supports your obligations under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and candidates rarely object to a check they know about.

Can you check candidates from other states?

Yes. Address, education and court checks can be done across India. We tell you upfront if a location will add time.

Do you do police verification for domestic staff?

Police verification is carried out by the police — you apply through your local police station or the state police’s online citizen services. We run our own independent checks alongside it, and can guide you through the application.

Can you check existing employees?

Yes, with the employee’s consent — for example before a move into a sensitive role, or as part of a periodic programme. Where fraud is suspected, a corporate investigation is the better fit.
