Reported incidences of car drivers being involved in crimes in the IT/ITeS sector, access to sensitive customer information in BFSI sector, instances of staff in educational institutions involved in exploitation cases - all have led to growing awareness of the need for background screening of employees as well as vendor/contract staff. Professional background screening was introduced in India less than a decade back, around the same time as the global events unfolding with changing security environment, post 9/11. An increasing number of Fortune 500 companies initiating business in India, started expecting that their India based entities/partners (mainly IT and BPO/ITeS companies) would follow recruitment processes and policies in line with the parent companies abroad. Shares Ashish Dehade, managing director (West Asia), First Advantage, India's largest professional background screening company, "Indian IT companies are servicing mainly North American and European corporations - where background screening has evolved as best business practice. More than 90% of Fortune 500 companies have a formal policy of background screening their employees. IT sector supports critical intellectual property related assets - mainly software tools, which help these corporations differentiate themselves in the marketplace. These corporations today see outsourcing service providers (Indian IT companies) as their extension and would like them to have strong business practices including background screening. Background screening has become part of the standard outsourcing contract and therefore Indian IT companies have proactively adopted background screening as part of their business process."…….
