In Bhutan, there are specific provisions related to legal and background checks for potential employees. The general practice involves examining an individual's criminal records and civil records. Additionally, it's common to verify the educational degrees of an applicant to ensure authenticity. The employment history of a candidate is also verified to confirm the information provided. Checking a candidate's identification is a standard procedure, often to ensure the person is who they claim to be. In recent times, a review of an individual's social media activity has become increasingly prevalent as it can provide insight into the character and behavior of the candidate.
