I would like to know the following:

1. How Indian IT companies do a background check?
2. Do McAfee do background verification of employees even if it is not mentioned in appointment letter?
3. Suppose a candidate has worked with more than two companies previously and the new company (say McAfee) asked "Relieving letter only from previous employer". Then how the new company will verify all the previous employments? 4. In the above case, do the new company ask the previous employer for the documents which the candidate submitted in the time of joining the previous company?

HI

The background check or the reference check in such bigger companies would usually be handled by third parties. they might not ask the previous company about the documents...but yes they would definetly check your employment status of yours in that organisation...that would comprise of your work experience your CTC, your designation....it can vary by company to company...and even the results will be announsed to your immediate manager and your HR advisors based on the severity of the results they might have arrives upon... usually in IT companies....it will be of 3 severities.... yello, orange, Red/Green,

If a person gets a complete Red then he might have to leave the company.... and if he gets a green....then he has cleared his background check without any discrepencies... but if he is getting yellow or orange then it would be your manager who come into picture....if he is satisfies with your performance he can retain you or else its complete matter of your managers descretion....


Hope this helps you
