Abstract: for 2018201140 
A processor-implemented method and system for candidate profile screening comprising: receiving a 
request for screening of a candidate profile associated with a candidate, the candidate profile 
comprising a plurality of candidate profile attributes; dividing the candidate profile into a plurality of 
subset-profiles, each subset-profile comprising subset-profile information associated with candidate 
profile attributes of the plurality of candidate profile attributes; and validating the subset-profile 
information by mapping the subset-profile information associated with the plurality of subset-profiles 
with target-profile information of a plurality of targets to identify a set of targets from amongst the 
plurality of targets, a target of the set of targets capable of screening the subset-profile information of 
the subset-profiles, the target profile information comprising at least one of real-time information and 
contextual information of the plurality of targets: provisioning queries to the set of targets to enable the 
set of targets to perform screening of the subset-profile information; receiving responses to the 
queries from the set of targets, wherein the responses facilitates in validating the subset-profile 
information of the candidate profile; computing an aggregated weightage associated with the 
responses received from the set of targets, the aggregated weightage computed based at least on an 
extent of matching of the responses with the candidate profile attributes of the subset-profile 
information and a confidence score associated with each target of the set of targets, wherein the 
confidence score associated with the each target is indicative of a probability of accuracy of 
responses provided by the target and wherein the confidence score is computed based on at least 
one of past history of responses provided by the target, promptness in providing the responses, 
correctness of the responses, and difficulty level of previous queries assigned to the target: and 
comparing the aggregated weightage with a threshold value of the aggregated weightage to identify 
the subset-profile information as one of a valid information and an invalid information; wherein a 
candidate profile attribute of the plurality of candidate profile attributes comprises a plurality of 
verification parameters, and wherein a verification parameter of the plurality of verification parameters 
is associated with an importance rating and a sensitivity level, wherein the importance rating of the 
verification parameter indicative of relevance of the verification parameter to determine if the 
verification parameter is mandatory for verification of the sub-profile information, and wherein, the 
sensitivity level associated with the verification parameter indicative of sensitivity of sub-profile 
information associated with the verification parameter: wherein identifying the set of targets 
comprises: associating the contextual information of the plurality of targets with the plurality of 
verification parameters of the subset-profile information based on a plurality of mapping rules, 
identifying a plurality of lists of targets from the plurality of targets based on associating, each list of 
the plurality of lists comprising targets capable of screening verification parameters of the plurality of 
verification parameters: computing degree of acquaintances between each target of the plurality of 
lists of targets based on a frequency of occurrence of said targets in the plurality of lists: and selecting 
the set of targets from the plurality of lists of targets based on a comparison of the degree of 
acquaintances with a plurality of threshold values of the degree of acquaintance, the plurality of 
threshold values defining a range of the degree of acquaintance, the plurality of threshold values 
comprising at least an upper level of the degree of acquaintance and a lower level of the degree of 
acquaintance.
