Over 30% of Kochi professionals have worked abroad, making standard Indian employment verification insufficient.

The verification challenge in Kochi

Kochi is Kerala's commercial hub and a growing IT destination. A high proportion of professionals here have international work experience, particularly from the Gulf, making verification complex. Traditional background check agencies operating in Kochi take 3 to 4 weeks per candidate and charge Rs 5,000 to Rs 20,000 per check. For companies hiring at scale in this market, that cost and delay creates real competitive disadvantage.

Beyond cost and speed, the quality of verification matters. Phone-based reference checks fail 30% of the time in fast-moving job markets where HR teams change frequently. AscentPassport solves this with a platform where candidates carry their verified employment history with them.
