India Collects Histories of Outsource Industry Workers

An AP newswire article by S. Srinivasan, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The Indian outsourcing industry is trying to combat data fraud by starting a project to compile the work histories of all its employees, the country's main software trade body said Thursday.

The records will be controlled by a government-mandated electronic depository and used by companies to screen prospective employees, said Kiran Karnik, president of National Association of Software and Service Companies.

A pilot project to cover workers at a handful of call center workers was launched this week, Karnik said. The project will eventually expand to cover other back-office workers and software programmers, he said.
