Background verification for your new hires
Verify what a candidate has told you before they join. HyrEzy runs pre-employment background verification across employment, education, address, criminal record, identity and references, with candidate consent, and reports everything back to you in one place.
Who it's for
- Companies that want every new hire verified before the joining date.
- Regulated sectors such as BFSI, fintech and healthcare, where verification is expected or required.
- Senior and leadership hires, where a misrepresented history is most costly.
- Clients who hire through HyrEzy and want verification handled as part of the same engagement.
Alongside your hiring
When HyrEzy fills a role for you, verification can start as soon as the offer is accepted, running in parallel with the candidate's notice period. That way results are usually ready before the joining date, not after it.
Checks available
Checks are selected per role. A typical package combines employment, education and identity checks, with others added depending on seniority, sector and your policy.
Employment verification
Confirms previous employers, designations, dates of employment and, where the employer shares it, reason for leaving and eligibility for rehire.
Education verification
Confirms degrees, institutions and years of passing directly with universities, boards or their authorised verification channels.
Address verification
Confirms current and permanent addresses, through digital verification or a physical visit depending on the check selected.
Criminal record check
Searches court records for the candidate's name and addresses. Police verification can be arranged where required.
Identity verification
Confirms that identity documents supplied by the candidate are genuine and belong to them.
Reference checks
Structured conversations with former managers or colleagues about the candidate's work, conduct and strengths.

Frequently asked questions
Which checks should I run for a role?
Most companies run employment, education and identity checks for every hire, and add criminal record, address, database and reference checks for senior, finance-facing or regulated roles. HyrEzy helps you set a package per role so you verify what matters without slowing every hire.
How long does background verification take?
It depends on the checks selected. Digital checks such as identity and database searches are usually quick; employment, education and address checks depend on how fast employers, institutions and field agents respond. Expected timelines are shared for each check when you place the order.
Is candidate consent required?
Yes. Every check is run only after the candidate gives informed consent, in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Can I use this for candidates HyrEzy did not recruit?
Yes. Verification can be arranged for any of your new hires, whether or not HyrEzy recruited them.
What happens if a check finds a discrepancy?
The report explains the discrepancy and its source. The hiring decision stays with you; many companies discuss the finding with the candidate before deciding.
