Hi uday, interesting debate. I support what Prashant said, his points are good. Atleast for that reason we need to have a check after short listed. Nowadays people are producing duplicate certificates and experience letters in the interviews. So for safety, the company should do a check on the candidates and then offer them a job.  I don't think there will be any loss in doing this. Companies can have a separate team who can perform this task.

Thanks....

If you don't do a proper background check, You may hire a fraudster or a terrorist & that would cost you more than a background check.

It doesn't add any value or additional information , rather at times it can be misleading. Caution !!
