How Do You Handle Background Checks for Junior Positions Without Verification Agencies?

Hi all, I have a few observations as an HR Executive in my organizations (previous and current). This is regarding new joiner records documentation related to his/her previous organizations' appointment/release/increment letters, etc. For certain junior positions, we do not have proper background verification agencies that confirm/mitigate our doubts. But at the same time, we do not want to drop a potentially good candidacy. How do you all handle this dilemma? Your insights, please.

Thanks.

Hi, Normally, for junior positions, past experience will be very minimal. If you are unable to ascertain the credibility of documents submitted by candidates due to the absence of proper verification agencies, you can randomly call or email the past employer to verify. Alternatively, you may choose to ignore this verification process for junior levels only.

Hi, Many thanks for the solutions provided. However, my question was to address the dilemma of verifying previous experience. It is not always possible to get in touch with the managers or peers from previous organizations as they might have left by the time you inquire. Your suggestion offers a practical perspective on the dilemma we face.

This discussion on verifying employees' previous experience can have many more perspectives.

Thanks.
