Hyderabad's job market has a few distinct hotspots: HITEC City and Gachibowli for IT, ITES, Genome Valley for pharma and biotech, the Financial District for BFSI and consulting. It's also a destination for a large number of people relocating to Hyderabad, and taking up jobs in these sectors before any formal paperwork regarding their previous employment clears up.
This mix of industries that have strict compliance needs, and employees who have moved before their previous office's documentation details reach their new office, is why documentation gaps are common in Hyderabad and why they need resolving.
Where Hyderabad BGV Issues Are Most Common
IT and ITES professionals transitioning from a contract to a direct/regular employment
Many IT jobs in Hyderabad begin as contract-to-hire roles, which can have a condensed BGV timeline due to the employee's ability to begin work immediately. There is less time to request and receive a relieving letter or other documents from a slower previous employer.
Pharma and biotech professionals working in Genome Valley
Sectors which require greater compliance will also demand more thorough documentation checks, including additional or more rigorous verification steps. A minor inconsistency not caught by a less thorough previous employer can halt the hiring process for a Hyderabad-based company.
Professionals relocating to Hyderabad from another state
Hyderabad's ITES, IT, and pharma sectors are all heavily reliant on people taking up jobs even as their previous office's documents are being transferred. This is further compounded if the relocation is occurring from another state.
A State-Level Nuance That Impacts Hyderabad BGV
Telangana state's professional tax, which manifests as a particular line item in payslips issued within the state. Consolidated salary records from a previous employer in Telangana are likely to have this tax listed, whereas those from outside the state are unlikely to. This nuance can arise when a Hyderabad-based BGV vendor reviews salary statements from a previous employer and incorrectly flags them as inconsistent with the income claimed by the candidate, simply because the tax is listed on one set of documents and not the other.
How We Can Help
The general process for Hyderabad-based BGVs is similar to any other city in that we review the documents, identify gaps, assist in obtaining any missing items, and verify the information prior to submission. However, the specifics of what is asked for by Hyderabad-based companies and its major industries, as well as the need to act quickly in certain situations (such as when an employee wishes to begin work before their previous relieving letter or other documents arrive), makes this city's BGV needs unique.
