FOREWORD
Dear Clients,
In today’s economy hiring is thorough, but it’s thorough for a reason. We’re increasingly putting our safety into the hands of someone we don’t know. That can be a huge risk, and it’s why background checks are more important than ever - from both a customer and a business perspective.
The fact is, it isn’t just your brand reputation you’re putting at risk; it’s the safety of your customers and employees. And shouldn’t that be the most important thing? When it comes to hiring, we need to be smart about the due diligence and criminal background checks. As the old saying goes: Trust, but verify.
As organizations seek out for the best talent in the market, it has become quite imperative to have a better insight of the current trends in order to hire the right candidate with the required skillset and clean background.
We, at First Advantage, have always taken pride in the fact that most organizations refer to First Advantage’s Trends Report to model their background screening programs and establish relevant & current practices.
As compared to the first quarter (Q1), the second quarter of 2018 has seen an increase of discrepancies in areas such as case level discrepancy, especially in FMCG. In Q2-18, while the total number of cases Verified were highest for the BFSI sector at 35 % followed by IT sector at 30 % and likewise highest number of discrepancy cases are in the BFSI sector at 46 %, the discrepancy based on industries has a totally different story to say -Telecom leading at 17 %, FMCG at 15 % followed by Retail at14 %, BFSI is at 13 % and Healthcare & Pharma at 11 %. For further understanding, please refer to the detailed report inside.
First Advantage in India remains committed towards aligning Indian recruitment and all pre-employment screening practices with the best in the world. With this assurance - I hereby share our second Quarter Trends Report for the calendar year 2018.

In Q2-18, total number of cases Verified were highest for the BFSI sector at 35 % [i.e. out of every 100 cases Verified - 35 were from the BFSI sector] followed by IT sector at 30 %.
Likewise highest number of discrepancy cases are in the BFSI sector at 46 % [i.e. out of every 100 discrepancy cases - 46 were from BFSI sector] followed by IT at 23 %.
The discrepancy %, that is the number of cases [Discrepancy Vs.

BFSI is at 13 % and Healthcare & Pharma at 11 %. ITES/BPO is at 8 % and IT follows at 7 %. A surprise element in Engineering sector shows a high discrepancy percent at 22 % but the percentage can be sort of misleading as the number of cases verified for Engineering sector is pretty less in comparison to other sectors.

Employment screening involvesconfirming the accuracy of thecandidate's claims about his/herprevious employment records, withthe HR and/or Supervisor [preferablythe last Reporting Manager] of theprevious employer/s. The verificationsare conducted based on thedocumentary proofs (i.e. copy ofsalary slip, relieving letter, experienceletter, etc.) submitted by thecandidate.
The HR verification would ideallyinclude questions about the tenure,designation, salary, reason forleaving, exit formalities, etc.
The Supervisor verification is morefocused on the skills, performance,strengths, weaknesses and are as ofimprovement, etc. of the candidate.
In addition to the above, it alsoinvolves an intensive research on thenet, and/or physical verificationsconducted to ascertain the existenceof the company.
In Q2-18, as usual, 'Incorrect Tenure' has topped the graph at 28 %. It is followed by ‘Inflated Designation’, ‘Exit Formalities Not Completed/Absconding' and ‘Other False Employment’ at 16 % each.

Address discrepancies have shown a consistent trend.
‘Period of Stay’ forms the biggest chunk of discrepancies at 98 % [which means out of every 100 Address discrepancy checks - 98 are for ‘Period of Stay’].
2 % of the Address discrepancies are for ‘Not residing at Address’ [which goes to say that out of every 100 Address discrepancies - 2 is for ‘Not residing at Address’].
Address checks are conducted basedon the supporting documents andaddresses shared by the candidate inhis/her background verification form.The checks focus on basically twothings - one is the period of stay atthe given address and secondwhether he/she is actually a residentof the given address or not.
Most of these verifications arephysical verifications - conducted byFADV field associates paying a visit to the given address - which makes the verification all the more concreteand precise.

AGE WISE BYEMPLOYEE CATEGORY
The discrepancy - by Employee Category by Age Level analysis depicts interesting details which basically links both the candidate's age and designation.
Maximum discrepancies have been observed at the Associate level at 44.5 % [which means out of every 100 discrepant cases - 45 are from the Associate level in the > = 22 to 30 years age bracket].
The First Level Supervisor has the highest number of discrepancies in the > = 31 to 40 years age bracket.
Another very interesting permutation and combination of Employee Category and age bracket comes to light in the Senior and Middle Management level and age comparison - the discrepancies are highest in the age > = 31 to 40 years age bracket. An obvious reason for this of course could be - the average time span an employee would take to reach the higher rungs of the ladder [levels] in an organization.

First Advantage's Verifications success percentage is as high as 99 % approximately [98.98 % in Q1-18 & 98.96 % in Q2-18].
Only a miniscule 1 % of the checks are tagged as Unable to verify where in the Verifying authorities refuse to provide verifications in spite of several requests.
This success percentage includes 1 %of checks which are tagged asCannot be Verified, Inaccessible forVerification, Information to proceednot received from Client, StopCheck, Verification not Required,Inactive, etc.
Reasons are varied like Company/University ceased to exist,Company not maintainingex-employee records, Companyshifted years before, Client wouldnot like to continue with thecandidate's verification for reasonsbest known to them, etc.
These tagging are based on thesimple logic that if First Advantagecannot verify them then no otherBackground Screening company willbe able to procure the verificationgiven the same scenario.
The Q2-18 success percentage is trending as usual - only 1 % of the checks have been tagged as Unable to Verify [UTV]. Certain organizations/verifying authorities do not provide verifications [as in their own verbatim] - it is not one of their priorities, what a candidate does after he/she leaves their organization is least of their concerns. Other major reasons for not being able to procure verifications could be time constraints and lack of awareness of due diligence of the verifier, etc.
Also there are certain clients whowould rather have checks closed as'Unable to Verify' post the requisitenumber of attempts as they are in arush to onboard the candidates.

Discrepancy Trends
Although background screening in India is not a mandate like in the US and other developed countries - the awareness and importance of screening backgrounds is growing at a very fast pace. It is being basically seen as risk mitigating tool which forearms employers and helps weeding out negative resources.
The inflow of cases - in sectors like BFSI, Healthcare & Pharma, IT, ITES/BPO, Telecom and Manufacturing has shown a huge jump at in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the first quarter. Sectors like Consulting, Logistics, Recruitment and Data Analytics too have shown a spurt in volumes.
A comparative study of the quarterly averages of 2017 [04] and 2018 [02] shows that BFSI, Healthcare & Pharma, IT, Telecom and Travel & Hospitality sectors depict in vast increase [14 % overall] in the case inflow. In addition the study also shows that there has been a hike in volumes in Conglomerate, Data Analytics, Recruitment, Due Diligence and Real Estate sectors.
A quarter on quarter [QoQ] study i.e. the second quarter of 2017 and 2018 has shown 28 % increase in the overall inflow of cases. Sectors like BFSI, IT, Manufacturing, Telecom and Travel & Hospitality have led to the jump in volumes.
Only 1 % of the checks worked upon by First Advantage have ended up as ‘Unable to Verify’. This gives us more reason to cheer as Verifying Authorities across locations are now more willing to support the concept of background screening by providing verifications.
As the awareness is growing it is also serving as a deterrent for a candidate to fake information and at the same time is encouraging them to be more open with sharing information irrespective of the information being negative or positive.
Employers are feeling a lot more confident - since they are equipped with more inside information of the candidate whom they are planning to take on board and are also happy to have the option of making choices and deciding who would be more apt for their organization.
