Super-fast execution, we would say! We typically implore all our clients to have empathy and to discuss the findings with the employee before making any hard decisions. The reason is an economic one. We calculated that having the employee stay for a minor charge, with adequate checks in place, could, in turn, be economical than having the complete hiring process repeated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 40% of the forgery cases we unearth at SpringVerify is related to previous experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/in.springverify.com\/blog\/employee-after-being-busted-by-springverify\/\">cases of misleading experience history<\/a> before as well with a dramatic ending to it.

Why not do it? The competition one faces could very well be doing it, and one could lose out on the opportunity due to honesty. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest form of checks we perform, apparently, is the employment history checks. Finding out if an employee is lying about work experience takes about as long as a conversation with a teammate at the firm the candidate claimed to have worked before. An email or a phone call can confirm authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, this crucial step is overlooked by a majority number of firms. Partly because getting backgrounds checked for all the hires at pace with the hiring team could be a challenging task. It takes a team to get it done. And partly because the costs associated with getting it done by an agency have historically been high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_resolve_this\"><\/span>How to resolve this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At SpringVerify, we have worked hard to reduce the costs and the time associated with the checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the advent of technologies like blockchain, we could help build a future where the need to get these checks around common lies on resumes would become obsolete. The companies would upload the work histories of teammates on a private chain which would be accessed at a later time to authenticate the experience claimed by a candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are working on building such a future too with <a href=\"https:\/\/springrole.com\/\">SpringRole<\/a> \u2014 a platform which allows people to have authentic profiles on the blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About SpringVerify<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>SpringVerify is the modern take on the age-old problem of employee verification being costly, tedious, and out of reach of small businesses.
