    EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

    An organization is made up of competencies, which we can loosely call 'capital'.

    Its key components are 'customer capital', 'structural capital' and 'human capital'.

    Broadly a company's strength arises out of its customer base, which purchases

    its products.

    This customer capital triggers a number of key decisions such as new product

    and service packages new designs in anticipation of customer preferences and

    new locations from which a number of customers could be profitably served.

    We have heard of a company being acquired purely because of the strength of

    its customer base. Besides customers, the strength of an organization arises out

    of the efficiency of its operations

    ONICRA sees human capital as an essential and vital resource and this has

    provided the essence of pre/post employment background screening services

    with the enthusiasm of working as an Empanelled Employment Background

    Checker with Nasscom and NSDL for the vision, which is National Skills

    Registry In India the customers want better services at reasonable price. This

    has developed a

    spree of competition among the various other industries which provides the

    same categories of services all over India. A large number of companies

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • provide a lot of services. The report is based on the project Mapping

    expectation and measuring

    Satisfaction of primary customers of Onicra Credit Rating Agency of India

    Ltd.

    The project has broadly been carried in around Delhi and NCR areas. In the

    initial phase I visited a large number of domestic and Multinational companies

    in Delhi and NCR area have and gathered information as far as possible for the

    benefit of the project at large. After conducting the study within some

    constraints, my findings were as far As transparent but chances of error are

    possible as the saying To err is Human

    ESSENCE OF THE SERVICE IS NOBLE, pre/post checks adds additional

    value to the organizational culture as, firstly the repeated cost will cut down and

    employers will be always in line with the habit,

    In this short report you will find the description of employment background

    screening services, the process followed and the basic requirements for the

    process. As the report progress towards conclusion it gives fair idea about the

    needs of this service, prospects, competitors and reason for all with some facts

    and figures and supporting articles

  • INTORDUCATION OF EBS

    Employee Background Screening Services is a way to find out as much

    as about the skills and behaviors an applicant will bring to an organization,"

    Pre-Employment Background Screening is the process of thoroughly verifying

    the educational and professional qualifications and employment history of a job

    applicant and conducting a search of appropriate public records in order to

    ascertain any information, which is relevant to his or her application. The results

    of the process are fully documented in a standardized, easy to read report.

    Between 10% and 15% of the candidates for a BPO/ITES job make false claims

    in their applications, according to industry sources. Overstatement of credentials

    and previous background by applicants has led to BPO firms seeking help from

    external professional service screening agencies to conduct identity verification,

    pre-employment status, past criminal records, and other background checks. So

    spurt in employment opportunities generated by the booming IT-enabled

    services and business process outsourcing (ITES/BPO) sector has spun off an

    ancillary industry - companies screening the background of

    prospective employees.

    Checks on backgrounds and building effective methodologies to blacklist

    people with bad track records is one of the ways to deal with a problematic

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • scenario and demonstrates the urgent need for individual checks and verification

    before hiring. EBS - Operates around the notion that employers have a need and

    a right to know about the individuals they are bringing into their organization

    the consequences of not knowing are potentially devastating, especially for

    smaller businesses.

    There are basically two types of Employment Background Screening they are as

    follows:-

    Pre- Employment Background Screening

    Post- Employment Background Screening

    Pre- Employment Background Screening Services is basically deals with the

    screening the employees which is mainly considered the basic hygienic

    measures before they are recruited for the particular post in the organizations

    Post- Employment Background Screening Services is basically deals with the

    screening the employees which is also considered as the basic hygienic

    measures it basically deals with the screening the prospective existing employee

    those who are working in the organization.

    Both pre and post employment screening services are important and considered

    the basic hygienic measures from the organization point of View, even though

    Post employment screening therefore takes on a wider ambit than pre-

    employment screening. It will deliver to the employer vital information on

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • lifestyles and social issues, apart from the more conventional driver's license,

    educational qualification, credit and criminal record checks

    Screening is globally a $6 billion business, and pre-employment screening is

    considered mandatory by more than 93 percent of Fortune 1,000 companies.

    92% of the companies have a formal Pre-Employment Background Screening

    program in place in the USA.In the Indian IT/BPO/KPO industry; it has been

    gaining significance to ensure that client confidentiality clauses are maintained

    and also to prevent unwanted people from accessing critical information.

    Increasingly, organizations are seeking specialized services to ascertain that the

    candidate is what he claims to be and also find out other relevant details that

    have not been disclosed by him.

    The aforementioned need of booming IT industry is seeking services for

    employee verification. The types of verification are from organization to

    organization and is determined by the need (and often the budget set)from

    ascertaining whether the permanent address given on the CV is actually true to

    finding out other details e.g.

    the nature of work being done by the candidate; performance standard, verifying

    qualifications, whether he was sacked from the previous company or left on his

    own; any criminal records; investigating entire family background; whether an

    alcoholic/womanizer;

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • Below are descriptions of various screening tools, including type of

    information, why the information is important? They are following:-

    Education verification

    Criminal verification

  • Why Employment Background Screening?

    Hiring a wrong person might lead to:

    Fraud and dishonesty by employees

    Disruptive and dangerous staff members

    Negligent hiring lawsuits

    Unqualified and incompetent

    Staff members

    Low productivity:

    Estimates for the IT/ ITES industry reveal that 15-17% of the people have

    discrepancies in their records with 70% of them relating to false previous

    employment record and the balance to false educational qualifications.

    The risk of hiring a wrong candidate is far more expensive than conducting a

    pre recruitment screening check

    A SOLUTION:A comprehensive, systematic, consistent, objective and well-documented

    excluding candidates with serious drug offenses. Consequently, employee

    screening can lead to a more efficient and productive workforce

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • PROJECT DETAILS

    The basic groundwork for the project entailed lot of data collection and analysis

    from various corporate houses and software companies. As a trend it was

    observed that Software companies and BPOs experienced high attrition levels

    due to various reasons like over demanding and uncondusive work place

    environment, poaching by competitors, etc. One of them was misleading

    information provided by Employees during the time of joining. This leads to

    portray wrong signals about the recruiting procedures of the organization and

    also if an organization is very particular about ethical hiring, it will ensure that

    all data provided by employees are validated.

    With this background in mind a questionnaire was administered to the corporate

    and the responses were collated. Each question was analyzed and results were

    recorded.

    view of some basic concept, Marketing, Marketing Research, Questionnaire,

    Meaning of Survey & its Methods, Meaning of Feedback how it is important

    There are two types of Research Method.

    1) Survey Method

  • SOURCE OF DATA

    Datas are the useful information or any forms of document designed in a

    systematic and standardize manner which are used for some further

    proceedings. One of the important tools for conducting marketing research is

    the availability of necessary and useful data. Some time the data are available

    readily in one form or the other and some time the data are collected afresh. The

    sources of information fall under two categories, Internal Sources and External

    Sources.

    In this particular project the major sources were as follows:-

    Competitive Study

    Corporate Presentation

    Objections and their Possible Solutions

    Association with National and International Clients/Partner

    While providing customized solutions we learn more

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • There are two type of source used in project.

    A. Internal Sources

    A business organization has definitely to keep certain records such as financial

    accounting records, sales records, and other information relating to the business

    process, these records provides ample information, good use can be made by the

    various information which are organization usually keeps for its own purposes

    in the future. Here in this case we have got lot many information from inside the

    organization such as readymade data base of the various companies in Delhi and

    NCR regions, sample project reports of the previous year some valuable

    information from our guide Mr. Vivek Sir relating to the operational system in

    Employee Background Screening Services in Onicra etc.

    B. External Sources

    When the information or any forms of document are collected from outside the

    organization, it basically happens when the internal records are insufficient and

    the required information is not readily available, the organization will have to

    depend on the external sources. Here in this case the external sources are

    internet, magazine, paper cutting etc. In external sources the research has

    been broadly divided in to two categories they are as follows,

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • (I) Primary Data:-

    RECOMMENDATION

    &

    CONCLUSITION

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • RECOMMENDATION

    Onicra Credit Rating Agency of India Ltd. basically provides the commercial

    service since 1993, and pioneer in individual credit rating i.e., Only National

    Individual Credit Rating Agency in India, as Onicra has stepped in to this

    service (EBSS) since last eight/nine month, therefore it will take some time to

    get the fruitful result of this service, as par as suggestions is concern effective

    utilization of the brand image of the Onicra should be done, through the proper

    channel and creating the demand and understanding the requirement of the

    client is very much important.

    There are some recommendation that is felt they are following :-

    Advertising: Most of companies even dont know about this service. So,

    it needs advertising at large scale by means of Surveys, Print Media etc.

    Age Verification: Some companies (esp. Govt. undertaking), Age of job

    applicants matter. So, EBS should include Age Verification.

    Quality: Mostly, this type of services has been adopted by big

    companies. So, they are quality-conscious rather than price. So, Quality is

    the key to grab the market share.

    ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY, CHEENAI

  • Customer Relationship Management: Today CRM plays a very vital

    role in marketing. Hence company should keep in the mind the

    importance of after sales & support functions.

    CONCLUSION

    There is a huge opportunity available in the market. Most of the companies

    either dont avail these services or dont know about these services. Only the

    company needs a good marketing strategy and well execution of that.

    From the effective survey it has been clearly found that there is a great demand

    and high potential of this service in future in India Corporate, the only thing is

    that to grasp the potential opportunities by effective understanding the client

    requirement.
