The verification challenge in London

London employers face some of the highest CV fraud rates in Europe, with financial services and technology sectors most affected. Traditional background check agencies operating in London 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.
