Frequently Answered

Employment Verification Questions

How does this compare to manual background verification?

Legacy agencies manually email HR departments, taking 3 to 4 business days. ASP Associates queries official digital records in under 60 seconds, eliminating origination drop-offs for digital lenders and hiring teams.

How do you prevent moonlighting / dual employment fraud?

Our intelligent engine scans the start and exit dates across all registered establishment IDs under the candidate's UAN, immediately flagging active parallel payroll contributions.

Is candidate consent mandatory?

Yes. In strict alignment with the DPDP Act 2023, every API request requires a verified candidate consent parameter before accessing records.

Can we integrate this directly into our existing ATS / HRMS?

Yes. Our REST API integrates with any system in under 15 minutes. We provide standard Node.js, Python, and cURL snippets.
