Pharmaceuticals
and Medical Devices

Screen the scientists, plant teams, medical representatives and service engineers behind your products with ASDintech, an ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified BGV organization covering PAN India along with the USA, UK, UAE, Europe and MEA.

Why Hiring in Pharma and Medical Devices Demands Specialised Screening

Every role in a pharmaceutical or medical device organization sits somewhere on a chain that ends with a patient. Production, packaging, quality assurance and quality control teams in drug manufacturing and medical device production directly influence product quality and reliability. Research, clinical and regulatory staff work with trial data and proprietary formulations, while medical representatives and service engineers carry your name into hospitals and laboratories, and warehouse teams handle high value medicines, controlled substances and equipment. A hiring mistake at any of these points can affect patient safety, regulatory standing, product integrity and reputation all at once. Verification here must therefore be tailored to the role, the level of access and the associated risks, never run as one standard package.

  • Patient Safety Exposure
  • Regulated Manufacturing Roles
  • Controlled Substance Access
  • Clinical Data Confidentiality

Spot the Risks That Travel from Resume to Patient

Misstated Scientific and Professional Qualifications

R&D, clinical research, regulatory and lab roles rest on claimed expertise. Unverified qualifications put formulation and testing in unqualified hands, and errors can reach patients.

Theft, Fraud and Product Diversion

Stores, production, distribution and sales staff access high value medicines, controlled substances and devices. Role appropriate checks assess theft and fraud exposure before it occurs.

Field Teams Inside Healthcare Settings

Medical reps, device sales teams and service engineers enter hospitals and labs routinely. Verification establishes identity, credentials and suitability before they operate on client premises.

Leakage of Research, Trial and Patient Data

R&D scientists, clinical analysts, IT admins and regulatory staff access formulas, trial data and patient records. BGV strengthens the workforce layer of information security.

Regulatory and Compliance Context in Life Sciences Hiring

Pharmaceutical and medical device organizations must maintain appropriate controls over personnel involved in manufacturing, testing, documentation and clinical investigations. Verification programme design in this sector reflects those obligations alongside data protection and ethical conduct expectations.

Exclusion List Screening
for Regulated Roles

For relevant US healthcare related roles, employers may also screen applicable government exclusion lists. ASDintech conducts OIG and FACIS screening against the applicable exclusion and sanction databases.

Six Checks That Anchor a Pharma and Medical Device Package

images

Education Verification

Verification of claimed qualifications directly with the concerned university, college, institution or authorised source, confirming the authenticity of the qualification, course, enrolment and year of passing for the pharmacy, science, engineering and clinical degrees that research, QA and regulatory roles depend on.

images

Employment Verification

Confirmation of a applicant’s previous organisation name, designation, employment tenure, date of joining, last working date and other relevant employment details, so overstated manufacturing, QC or clinical research experience is caught before quality critical work changes hands.

images

Identity Verification

Verification of the applicant’s identity using valid government issued documents such as Aadhaar card, PAN card or passport, confirming document authenticity and that the person entering your plant, laboratory or field territory matches the identity on file.

images

Criminal Court Check

Search and verification of available civil and criminal court records through an authorised law firm to identify ongoing or past litigation or court matters involving the applicant, subject to record availability and applicable legal requirements.

images

Professional Reference Check

Conversations with the references a applicant provides to verify professional conduct, performance, responsibilities, skills and working relationships, particularly valuable for senior scientific appointments, plant leadership and roles that face healthcare professionals daily.

OIG India Check

Screening against relevant Office of Inspector General exclusion and sanction databases, where applicable, to identify individuals who may be excluded, sanctioned or restricted from participating in certain regulated programmes, a key safeguard for healthcare linked hiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because the consequences of a hiring mistake extend beyond the workplace. Employees in these industries may handle medicines, clinical trial data, medical equipment, sensitive patient information or controlled substances, and may interact directly with healthcare professionals. A misrepresented qualification in quality control or an undisclosed record in distribution can affect patient safety, regulatory compliance, product integrity and organisational reputation at once. ASDintech therefore designs each package around the employee’s role, level of access and associated risks instead of applying a uniform check list to every hire.

For roles that influence product safety and reliability, employers typically combine identity verification, education verification, employment verification and address verification, with a criminal court check conducted through an authorised law firm for positions of greater responsibility. Where client policy or the nature of the role requires it, drug screening can be added through authorised partner testing facilities across 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 panel configurations. ASDintech recommends the final combination after reviewing the role, the production environment and your compliance requirements.

Educational qualifications are confirmed directly with the concerned university, college, institution or authorised source, covering the authenticity of the qualification, the course, enrolment and year of passing. CV validation checks key claims on the resume against available supporting information, and a gap check clarifies unexplained breaks in education or employment history. For international hires, professional licence verification confirms licence status, issue and expiration dates, the issuing authority and available disciplinary information, which is relevant for clinical and regulated technical roles.

Yes. Medical representatives, device sales staff and service engineers are verified through identity verification, employment verification, professional reference checks and address verification before they begin visiting hospitals, clinics and laboratories on your behalf. Physical address verification is carried out through site visits by ASDintech field executives using an Android field verification app, supported by PAN India coverage across all states and union territories. Digital address verification is available where a physical visit is not required, keeping field hiring timelines on track.

Exclusion list screening identifies whether an individual appears on government maintained exclusion, sanction or restricted party lists. ASDintech conducts the OIG India Check against relevant Office of Inspector General exclusion and sanction databases, and for US healthcare related roles the FACIS check searches healthcare and professional sanctions sources including OIG and GSA or SAM records, depending on the selected FACIS level. OFAC screening adds sanctions list coverage. These checks are most relevant for roles connected to regulated healthcare programmes, international operations and senior appointments.

Pharmaceutical and medical device organizations are expected to maintain appropriate controls over personnel involved in manufacturing, testing, documentation and clinical investigations. A documented BGV programme gives your audit and compliance teams reliable workforce records to present during internal audits and reviews against applicable regulatory requirements. ASDintech reports clearly document findings, attach supporting documents and audit trails wherever applicable, and pass multi level verification and quality checks before publication, so the evidence behind every hiring decision is traceable. The programme supports your compliance obligations; the hiring decision always remains yours.

Yes. Many pharma and medical device employers re-verify staff at defined intervals or at trigger points, such as a move into a role with access to controlled substances, trial data or financially sensitive responsibilities, or a refresh required by internal policy. With the employee’s consent, ASDintech runs the selected checks on existing staff through the same digital workflow used for new hires, and the resulting report meets the same documentation and quality control standards, so your records stay consistent across the workforce.
