They either outsource it to an agency partner who has been doing it for years. The agency partner ideally connects with all ex employees and checks about feedback and the salary you had mentioned. In case of failure it is highlighted back.

Mostly done by 3rd party agencies. Those agencies can't contact all your previous colleagues. They may contact colleagues who you may have given as references in your BGC form. Some agencies does check your PF history to make sure of your employment records. For address verification, a person might come to verify or they ask you to use their app, they get the location to validate with address you have given in form.

Show higher tenure on Resume?

I worked at company X from 2016-2021. Left March 2021, but the next thing I joined was in late 2022. Between that time, first I was preparing for Masters, got in, but ultimately decided to not go. It took 8 months as the market was really bad and I was unprepared. Now, when I am looking to switch from current job, I have gotten a couple of queries around why the gap etc. I originally thought I will explain the situation but now to prevent getting filtered out in screening, is it okay to write company X tenure from March 2021 to March 2022, reducing the gap? All help/inputs from experienced folks is appreciated 🙏🏽

Layoffs on

Dukaan

The dirty game of Dukaan's layoffs

The company had more than 6 layoffs in the past 10 months. Right from office boys to the company COO was affected by the layoff. The recent layoff happened 10 days back, where the company didn't pay their employees a single dime and instead gave them their value less esops to keep their mouth shut. The company is being run by 2 arrogant adamant co-founders along with their 10 other close ally so called the CORE team. The employees were on 30% salary cut since 10 months in the name of deffered and were promised that everyone would get it back with 8% interest on the cut. In every layoff employees were asked to leave within a day or two without even paying them for their notice period. Nobody was vocal about it as the founders had threatened some ex employees that they would make their life miserable and they will find it difficult to get jobs anywhere in future.
