From all your points two things stand out: Back-stabbing by Immature/Incompetent managers and a need for a standardized evaluation (normalizing the inputs from different employers). What I had in mind: The data will be employee-driven and the approval will be employer-driven. Basically web-enabling the verification/background-check process. I went one step ahead and added a way for employers to mark really really bad candidates. This process is a very tricky one as everyone pointed out. But employers would love to have such a feature. I think this will not be practical in Indian context.. Anyway, I was predominatly searching for "Experience validation", "Resume validation", "Resume check" in Google. I slightly tweaked my query to "Resume Authentication service" and I hit the bull's eye! There seems to be something available already meeting such needs and effort is driven by none other than NASSCOM!...Read on the following link for knowing more about it. <a href="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread44062.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread44062.html</a> <blockquote>"This will be a centralized database of information about the employee's professional and educational background. The NSR has been specifically designed to ensure authenticity of data through independent verification and biometric identification of the individual."</blockquote> <a href="https://nationalskillsregistry.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://nationalskillsregistry.com/</a> The Resume authentication and verification would be done Verifacts Services Private Limited (www.verifactsgroup.net). Phew...I never knew such a thing existed...It goes to show that we go after something only when we feel the need!!! And it is a nice re-assurance that I am not thinking weird :) First of all thanks guys for your valuable feedback.

So the previous employer will not even know which company the employee has joined. I feel this is a better way.This verification process is expensive and hence is not done at the begining of the recruiment process. Bharani , In the MBA world , most IT guys claim themself as Insurance/Telecom(and so on) domain experts while they would have gained the knowledge while working on IT projects. I would not say this as cheating but recuiters here know what the person did in previous job (to write java/sql code for an insurance/telecom client) and the cv goes in to bin. If you apply your model , the previous company would certify the candidate as an Insurance wizard ! LinkedIn has some features to satify the recommendation aspect and I prefer that kind of free / open way rather tha building a controlled universal data base of all employees ..

But in cases where people leave in disgust, the managers can easily back stab .. And make sure that the guy never gets hired elsewhere !! Too risky a proposition - this is probably something where the negative effects are by far more than the positive things it can do .. In an ideal world, this would work fine ..

It is not that the person is incompetent, it might be the supervisor was incompetent!! In such a case if the supervisor is not mature enough he can easily give bad comments about the person and it can mar his career prospects. it would be a very powerful tool in the hands of the employer and can drastically impact the future prospects of the emplyoees. There are good points about it, but only if the people who use it are really professional about it. I do not think our industry and people are all so mature and capable.. My 2 cents!
