XactCheck Announces Expansion into India

Increase in phony resumes in India leads to greater demand for employment screening

WASHINGON, DC.—April 25, 2008—XactCheck, Inc. today announced it has expanded its corporate presence to India. The company now offers its employment screening and background investigation services to Indian-based companies that are struggling with an increased number of candidates with false CVs.

Although XactCheck has maintained a presence in India for nearly a decade, the company recently set up a full service employment screening services office in the country. This allows India's burgeoning corporations access to professional, top-notch employment screening and background check services, including criminal record checks and credential validation and verification.

This opening comes at a crucial time in India's history when mass recruiting in the country's Information Technology, financial services, and transportation industries has led to a deluge of false resumes and phony employment candidates.

"India's recruitment structure is not strong enough to discourage deceptive practices in hiring. Also, circumstances are such that HR managers are overwhelmed with their day-to-day tasks. Without having proper systems and processes in place, it's difficult to expose each case of fraud, due to the sheer magnitude of hiring," says John Melnicki, CEO of XactCheck.

Fortunately, companies in India have started investing more resources in hiring systems. Employers are particular that their sensitive employment data is safe and dealt with by legitimate, expert hands and employment screening is increasingly becoming outsourced to independent firms. "As a result, XactCheck's employment screening services are becoming part of the best practices of Indian HR," says Mr. Melnicki.
