In the modern-day fast-paced employment market, where staffing decisions have to be made in a matter of days (or even hours), old-fashioned background verification systems simply can’t match. Delays in hiring result in losing top talent, productivity, and momentum for growth. Instant BGV—OnGrid’s innovative solution, offering speed, security, and intelligent automation—is here to revolutionize how companies perform background checks.

The Problem with Traditional BGV
Legacy background verification (BGV) practices are tainted with inefficiencies:
Manual data entry
Several follow-ups
Turnaround times of a week or more
Broken reporting
In reality, as per a 2023 report published by SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), the average turnaround time for background checks in India varies between 3 to 15 days based on check depth and third-party coordination.
All these delays can result in extended time-to-hire, halted onboarding, and higher drop-off rates—especially in high-volume or gig-based hiring.

No more follow-ups. No more delays. Just instant, reliable background checks—at your fingertips.
