About the Consultant
I'm Sevar — an independent Background Verification consultant with over a decade of experience working at the intersection of HR operations, compliance, and risk management. I've helped organisations across sectors build and refine BGV processes that are legally sound, operationally lean, and trusted by leadership.
My career began inside large-scale HR operations teams where I was responsible for designing and managing BGV processes for fast-growing organisations. I quickly noticed a pattern: most companies either over-engineer their verification processes or grossly under-invest in them — both with significant downstream consequences.
This insight led me to transition into consulting, where I could apply my operational experience to help organisations get this function right — not by selling software or vendor services, but by providing independent, objective expertise.
Today, I work with startups building their first BGV framework, mid-size companies struggling with inconsistent vendor performance, and enterprises dealing with compliance complexity. My approach is always the same: listen deeply, diagnose accurately, and recommend pragmatically.
My consulting services are designed around the three most common BGV challenges organisations face. Each is a standalone engagement, though many clients combine two or more.
An independent, thorough review of your existing Background Verification process. I examine everything — policies, vendor contracts, turnaround times, completion rates, exception handling, consent flows and data privacy compliance — and deliver a clear, prioritised report with actionable recommendations. Perfect for organisations that have a BGV process in place but aren't sure if it's working optimally or meeting current regulatory expectations.
Going beyond the audit — this engagement takes the findings and translates them into a redesigned, optimised BGV process. I work alongside your HR, legal and operations teams to streamline workflows, renegotiate or re-scope vendor SLAs, implement escalation frameworks, and embed governance mechanisms that ensure consistent performance over time. Ideal for growing organisations where the current BGV process has become a bottleneck.
For organisations that are building a BGV function for the very first time. I architect the complete verification framework from scratch — defining scope, selecting and onboarding the right vendors, drafting policies and playbooks, configuring tools, training the team, and establishing ongoing governance. You get a fully operational, compliant BGV process ready for day one. Built for startups, new HR functions, or organisations entering new markets.
