The popularity of such portals is largely due to the wide reach of the internet,the economics and the anonymity you can maintain and the fact that one can view innumerable jobs at a click without being physically present. “Besides,with jobs in fields like pharma,IT,manufacturing,engineering and FMCGs and full-time,part-time and freelance jobs,all available at one place,there’s not much left to aspire,” Kaistha points out. The entire profile of the candidate can be uploaded here,the recruiter can extract the information he/she wants but the biggest challenge remains verifying the authenticity of the profile. “Background screening assures that frauds are minimised,” says Wayne Tollemache,executive managing director,Asia Pacific,First Advantage Pvt Ltd,who says that the tool is being used to screen new hires and existing staff. “Business leaders are now seeking online solutions as an answer to the current challenges related to delays,costs and authenticity of data,” he says. The increasing incidents of reported involvement of employees in internal/external frauds and collusion in data security infringement have lead to greater recognition of the need for background screening. “The integrated database of our company,VerifyDirect already has employment records,education records and credit data of over half a million people and already has 50 partners,” he says.

With attrition rates on a rise,it assures that you are an employee worth investing in. Yogesh Bansal,founder and CEO,ApnaCircle.com,a business and career networking website,too agrees,“While,online job portals are witnessing a sea change,you must have all the documents and references in place. References work a great deal in a professional’s profile.”
