If you’ve ever googled the phrase “a bad hire”, you must already be aware of its cost. According to some of the leading surveys of the world, bad hires can cost up to $240,000 in expenses to a business. The cost of a bad hire can be equal to about 30% of your annual earnings. If that is not enough to shake you out of a slumber, here is another fact – a 2020 report of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), organizations are bound to lose about 5% of their yearly revenue due to fraud, with the smaller businesses losing up to 50% more revenue in comparison to the bigger businesses. 
With almost 74% of companies worldwide have admitted to hiring a wrong person for a position and then losing a substantial amount in the process, ‘bad hire’ is really bad news for your business. However, with Genesis Risk Mitigation Services (GRMS), you can avoid those losses through proper planning and positioning.
No Background Checks
The losses arising due to bad hiring can be easily avoided if you do what some of the best companies in India are already doing – Background Check Verification (BGV). This process, though still developing in India, should be a part of the hiring process of every firm worth its salt.  According to Amey Kulkarni, Director, Genesis Risk Mitigation Services (GRMS), explains, “I meet so many clients that have successful companies but are not aware of such a service available in the market primary related to awareness and governance if we compare the governance of other countries, there are numerous background check laws that exist. An entire system has been created to ensure smooth day-to-day business transactions to assist both parties – the firm and the employee – by keeping a transparent process.”
Recognize the Looming Threat
Experts believe that bad hiring is a looming threat on the industries right now and if not taken seriously, this threat could cause a negative ripple effect, resulting in the following – 
1. Business losses 2. Attrition of good employees3. Increase in hiring costs4. Re-training cost
According to several surveys carried out by GRMS, most of the firms show a bad case of BGV discrepancies. Even well-established companies face this issue. Once the bad hire’s training program is complete, it is not long before complaints start pouring in regarding his day-to-day operations. Usually, the management ignores these complaints, considering it to be a generic problem. However, with the passage of time, these grievances escalate and end up affecting the service and quality of the company.
Why Background Checks
As per GRMS, background checks reveal the previous professional accuracy of the hire and help the management in deciding whether to employ that person or not. BGV process can tell the firm whether a potential hire was sacked from the previous job, or left on his own, due to a management issue. The previous reporting managers, to whom GRMS talks regarding the new hire, can also reveal some facts that would reveal whether the new hire is going to be an asset or a burden. 
Industry Discrepancies rates
As per the latest compilation of the first quarter of 2020, January-March, the discrepancy rates arising out of bad hiring stand at 13% negatives. Amey warns, “It is mammoth and alarming. This is in spite of the candidate knowing that a formal BGV process will be conducted, now just think about organizations where there is no background check process in place, you are attracting all the negatives towards your organization and waiting for a bomb to explore. We have frauds that range from fake employment, false remunerations, designation manipulations, a bad exit, severe criminal records, fake degrees, productivity issues, etc.”
Protect Your Organisation
If you want to avoid the negative impact of employee-related frauds and save your company’s hard-earned money, you need to run a pre-employment background check. In fact, choosing GRMS gives you an edge because this firm caters to entities across the spectrum – from MNCs to Startups! The GRMS does more than a lac of resume screenings in a year.

Nomophobia – the fear of not being near mobile phone has catapulted many to be addicted to the world of Social Media. It is the fastest-growing trend in the world. Marketing has gone up a totally different level in the last 5 years. Through Social Media Marketing, the seller comes virtually in direct contact with the prospective buyer who is hooked onto it. Making such progressive strides in the world of social media marketing is a man (in his early 20s) named, Mohit Gupta. He is as they say “on fire”, dropping out of engineering and diving into the deep marketing web of social media.

Mohit Gupta had entrepreneurial tendencies right from his childhood. He was a business-minded child wanting to create and earn on his own. It all started when he was in class 12, 18 years of age when he set up a meme page and explored the Instagram business. Gupta worked tirelessly to establish the reputation of his page and after 6 months of creative investment and mental hard-work, the page got around 78K i.e. 78 thousand followers to its credit. Reaching this mark is no way a child’s play and only with great wit and relentless efforts can it be achieved. 

However, with Board exams on his head and college selection exams to be given, Mohit sold his page. Mohit chose Computer Science Engineering but in a short time realized where his sensibilities and passion lay. He dropped out of the B tech course and started his career as a full-time Social Media Growth Marketer; Gupta also started another page called Couple Society. 

Slowly but steadily Gupta developed an online social media company named CS Marketing, which provides marketing services to various brands and social media artists. Resisting to his competitors, is committed to building his company, Mohit Gupta’s company created a base of a whopping 20 Million followers. This also helped him in getting bigger marketing projects with bigger brands. Recently, Gupta even worked with some producers and actors from the film industry to promote their short films and music videos on various social media platforms He joined hands with them and influenced many people on social media to give the buzz to the film or the song, whichever he was marketing. This has resulted in Gupta getting exceptional work and many people from the music industry and Bollywood are coming up to him to take care of their promotional activities.

These collaborations with Bollywood have pushed Mohit Gupta into a league of his own. His company will soon be talked about as a giant in the business and Social media influencer, Mohit Gupta’s achievements will reap him rewards for years to come. Truly an unexpected & underrated, underdog story.
