Hello,
For a background verification process, the following things are basic.
1. Address Check
2. Education Check
3. Employment Check
However few also depends on the client mandate like the ones listed below.
4. Criminal Check
5. Drug test etc.
Most of the IT companies outsource this.

You need to do a bench marking to see how many yrs of past exp are you verifying and then ensure these are done.
Data base checks - your vendor wld know what are the components which will fall under this.
Education - Highest qualification - Name as per certificate, Register/Seat no,Yr of passing, type of degree signed by authorised university personnel.
Employment - Yrs of past emp to be verified, name, designation, start and end date, compensation and reason for leaving.
Additional checks - Drug test, Criminal history, Credit history is based on Client requirements.

Hello:
I think most of my friends have defined the areas to be covered while conducting reference checks for employees.
I would like to add that apart from this, it is also essential to authenticate the person who is supporting the information provided in the reference check. Getting the name and number of a 'refree' may not be enough as it is easy to falsify information & data over the phone.
It is advisable to ask for Co name, designation, land line number, mobile number, email-id etc as basic information for authentication.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

The antecedent Checking is a very specialized job. There are agencies who conduct such checks. You may hire the services of one of these agencies.
In Government Offices, this check is conducted by the Police and the Medical Officers.

hi!
first of all thanks to all of u for replying to my query.
actually i have worked in a MNC (an IT firm )for two years but now i want to switch the job. i want to ask that i have done a project in java language in that company. but now in resume i want to show some a dummy/false project in some different computer programming language which i have not done in previous company at all.so will it be an offensive act???
do IT companies also enquire about employees projects in previous companies along with other verifications???
what actions can can be taken if this get caught???
my other documents such experience certificate,salary slips etc are perfectly legal.

Hi,
There are different things that can be checked, but the most important ones include work experience, last withdrawn salary, status of exit formalities, and whether the candidate served his notice period or not.
