Regrettably it is a fact that, 1 in every 6 job applicants lie on their resume. A report by The Economic Times states that, furnishing fake information about oneself in the Resumes, is a widespread norm among job candidates nowadays. Surprisingly, it is increasing at a rapid rate. In reality, one of the surveys reveal, the number of candidates who altered information increased by a startling 50% in 2017 in comparison to 2016. Whether it’s falsifying documents, credentials, pay slips, furnishing forged references or distorting employment tenures, positions and job titles, such activities are regarded as serious crimes that not only charges the applicants with their desired jobs but also condemns them with imprisonment. On such an occasion while conducting a Resume Check, when a female employee’s husband was contacted due to her absence, to make an enquiry about her details, he made a shocking revelation stating, “My wife is having an affair and cheating on me!” He wanted to caution the Verification Agency about her deceptive nature.
Why Conduct a Resume Validation?
An employer must ensure that the fraudulent applicants are not able to adversely affect the Company. Due to this very reason, it has become imperative for the Companies to perform a thorough and comprehensive Resume Verification for an inclusive safeguarding of the Organization. Resume Validation is considered to be the primary safety measure that an Organization can arrange for. Ultimately, it is claimed that, a well begun step is half done.
