The Balanced Scorecard, referred to as the BSC, is a framework to implement and manage strategy. It links a vision to strategic objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives. It balances financial measures with performance measures and objectives related to all other parts of the organisation. It is a business performance management tool.

It was originally published by Dr Robert Kaplan and Dr David Norton as a paper in 1992. And then formally as a book in 1996. Both the paper and the book led to its widespread success. It is interesting to note that although Kaplan and Norton published the first paper, they were anomalously referenced in a work by Art Schneiderman who is believed to be the balanced scorecard creator.

Background verification is a process many organizations carry out in order to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. It involves various checks in which the employer will go through your education records, past employer details, identity checks, resume checks and address checks. It is done once the candidate clears all the interview rounds and it takes up to 10 working days to carry out the process. Sometimes it may take more time when the employer is looking for in-depth information.

Background check is a process by which a person or company uses to verify that a person is who they claim to be, and provides an opportunity for someone to check a person’s criminal record, education, employment history, and other activities that happened in the past in order to confirm their validity. The frequency, purpose, and legitimacy of background checks varies between countries, industries, and individuals. An employment background check typically takes place when someone applies for a job, but can also happen at any time the employer deems necessary. A variety of methods are used to complete such a check, from comprehensive database search to personal references..
