Fake credentials and fraudulent employments cost Indian companies crores every year. A proper background check protects your organization from bad hires, reputational damage and legal risk. Verified hires also onboard faster and stay longer.
Most BGV providers check identity, education, address, employment history, references, criminal records and sometimes credit or social-media history. A standard report covers document validation, database checks and direct verification with past employers and institutes.
A typical employment verification in India costs between ₹400 and ₹2,000 per candidate depending on the depth of checks. Comprehensive packages range higher. Costs usually depend on education checks, number of past employers and turnaround time.
Instead of post-offer, manual checks that take days, Vryfide verifies employees and employers before they even connect. Identity, education and employment history are validated upfront, so recruiters see only pre-verified candidates — cutting cost and turnaround dramatically.
