It&#8217;s a paper-heavy process with constant HR intervention!<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Smart BGV practices require <strong>zero paper <\/strong>and <strong>Zero HR intervention. <\/strong>At<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ongrid.in\/#\/bookDemo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OnGrid<\/a>, all you have to do is provide the email ID and name of the candidate, and the downstream process is taken care of.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>2. Takes months to complete a candidate&#8217;s BGV.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Some basic checks get completed in a day, or even a few hours. A few checks can take days, but smart BGV platforms allow you to access the results of the checks real-time, as and when they get completed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>3<\/strong>. <strong>Background verification is nothing but police verification, right? <\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Well the answer is <strong>NOOOOOO!!<\/strong> BGV is a combination of various different checks such as verification of ID, address, education record, employment records, or professional reference checks, criminal record checks, global database checks, etc. OnGrid platform lets you <strong>choose from a buffet of 25+ checks<\/strong> that can be customized as per your requirement. You can also pick different checks for different staff categories.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>4. What about data privacy?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">BGV is not detective agency work. All information and documents that get verified should definitely be done with the consent of the candidate. The second part of ensuring privacy is limiting the purpose, i.e. using the information and documents only for the purpose of verifying the same. And ofcourse, when you use third party platforms like OnGrid, the data remains secure and reports are only available to authorized users. And at the end of all this, if the candidate wants a right to forget, that is, remove all information from the platform, one must respect that choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>5.
