The Indian software industry is flooded with 'fake cv's' and the leading software companies have begun taking stringent action on the employees as well as all concerned people. Indian knowledge workers are upwardly mobile and in great demand globally. The recent “India Fraud Survey Report – 2008” by KPMG emphasizes the alarming rise in fraudulent documentation by employees.

The delay in processing of visas for Indian knowledge workers by host nations, due to their stringent immigration border control policies, restrict the outward mobility & increase costs to their employers. In this context, efforts are made by employers to scrutinize and verify their applicant pool.

National Organisation for Software and Technology Professionals (NOSTOPS) is a professional service organisation that performs as a conduit between the employers, the staffing agencies and the employees, both in India as well as overseas.

With the recent spate of documentation fraud, NOSTOPS has launched a new initiative that will serve as an online databank of live ‘verified & screened’ knowledge workers, which employers use to query & authenticate prospective employees.

NOSTOPS focuses with the ‘jobseeker’ against the ‘employee’ mindset to arrive at a clean authentic online databank. Towards this NOSTOPS has partnered with First Advantage Pvt. Ltd, a leading background verification company.

Talking at the web site launch, Mr. Rajiv Dabhadkar, Founder – NOSTOPS and the CEO –‘ NOSTOPS.ORG’ said that “There is a large gap between the multiple skills demanded from the employer (required to remain globally competitive) and the skills learnt in educational institutions. This industry-academia mismatch is one of the affects of globalisation that gives opportunities for ‘document abuse’, which is seriously manipulated & misused towards the outward migration of Indian knowledge capital as well".

"Every industry has a small lot of - not so right people and the recruiting industry is no exception. NOSTOPS has been striving hard to set right this malady. Through this initiative we hope to begin making the difference to our members by providing them an opportunity to do the right thing… and to be sought by the employers rather than beating the system or by opting for services from little known agencies/people wherein monitoring quality service from them will be very difficult.” said Mr. Dabhadkar.
