The major end-user industries of employment screening services are IT and telecom, BFSI, government agencies, travel and hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare, among others.

Companies in the BFSI service sector are more stringent than other private-sector firms regarding pre-employment screening. The employee turnover in the BFSI sector has been rising in recent years, as the employees face employment cut-outs due to accountability in every part of their operations. As a middle or top management employee has access to confidential information about the customer’s financial records, it is essential for these companies to properly scrutinize a candidate’s background, criminal records, and past employment history, along with conducting other background checks.

The BFSI industry is highly regulated. The regulations precisely dictate the rules and eligibility for employees hired by financial companies. For instance, the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides guidance for developing effective criminal background checks for bank employees. Further, it encourages these checks as an efficient risk management process to ensure and verify the information provided by prospective candidates. Such factors are propelling the employment screening services market growth in the BFSI industry.

National, state, and city government offices often require new employees on board without delays. As most of these agencies deal with confidential and sensitive information, new employees should be reliable and entrusted with verified histories. In government agencies, a proper screening of employees, involving background checks, credit risk, criminal records, education checks, etc., is a must to avoid risk.

Also, since government employees are expected to access residents’ personal information, tracking the appropriate criminal background of all the candidates shortlisted for the job is essential. The demand for employment screening services in government agencies is surging due to increased fraudulent incidences. Government employers of various countries run rigorous pre-employment screening, and several other checks. Criminal background checks, international background checks, drug and medical checks, qualification checks, credit checks, and sex offender checks are among the verification parameters. Such factors are propelling the employment screening services market growth among government agencies.
