Background verification services
Employee Background Verification for employers in India
Employee background verification (BGV) confirms a candidate’s identity, employment history, education, credit, court records and AML status before they join. VerifyAll runs every check with the candidate’s consent and returns one consolidated report per hire, with any discrepancy flagged.
One-time ₹100.00 wallet credit for new accounts. Every check is charged from your wallet at its own rate, and some checks cost more than ₹100.00.

How it works
From invite to consolidated report in six steps
Employee BGV on VerifyAll is a guided, consent-first workflow: HR creates the request, picks the checks, the candidate approves, and every result merges into one report.
- Step 1
Log in to VerifyAll
An HR or hiring team signs in to its VerifyAll dashboard.
- Step 2
Add the candidate
Create a verification request for the candidate, anchored to a PAN where available.
- Step 3
Select the checks
Pick identity, employment, education, financial, legal and AML checks, or start from a package.
- Step 4
Candidate gives consent
The candidate approves the checks through a secure link. Consent is recorded and timestamped; nothing runs until they approve.
- Step 5
Checks run at source
Each check runs against its authoritative source, and the previous employer’s HR confirms employment history field by field.
- Step 6
One report per candidate
Results merge into one report with a per-check status and discrepancy flags, ready to view, download and file.
Understanding employee background verification
What is employee background verification?
Employee background verification is the set of checks an employer runs on a candidate before (or shortly after) an offer: confirming who they are, that the work history and education on the CV are real, and whether there are financial, legal or regulatory red flags. The checks run against authoritative sources, not against the CV, and the outcome is a per-candidate report that supports the hiring decision.
On VerifyAll an HR team creates the request, picks the checks for the role, collects the candidate’s consent, and the platform runs each check and returns one consolidated report. Identity and record checks return in seconds; employment and education confirmation depend on how quickly the employer or institution responds, and the report updates as each check completes.
Why employers do it
To catch inflated titles, overlapping or fabricated tenure, fake certificates and undisclosed legal history before access is granted.
What it covers
Identity documents, employment and education history, UAN / EPFO, references, credit and bank checks, court records and AML / risk screening, in whatever combination the role needs.
How consent works
Each candidate approves the checks through a secure link. Consent is recorded and timestamped, and no check runs until they approve.
What HR gets
One consolidated report per candidate with a status for every check, a discrepancy flag where declared details do not match, and a downloadable PDF for the hiring file.

- Recorded & timestamped: every consent is logged with a date and time for your audit trail.
- Candidate self-service: the candidate fills in the details each check needs — PAN, past employers, references — in their own portal.

The deliverable
One consolidated report
- What it contains: a status for every check you ran on the candidate, with the underlying detail and a discrepancy flag where declared information does not match.
- How HR teams use it: as the hiring decision record, kept in the candidate file for audit and compliance, and shared with the hiring manager.
- How to download it: as a single branded PDF from the request in your VerifyAll dashboard, once all checks complete.
- Where it fits: it is the candidate’s verification file; re-run any single check later with fresh consent without repeating the whole BGV.
