To that end, they engaged CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group\u2019s EmploySmart<sup>TM<\/sup> services, providing thorough and extensive pre-employment background screening in verifying prospective candidates\u2019 experience and credentials. What happened next is eye-opening for any business leader.<\/p>\n<p>CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group\u2019s agents uncovered disturbing details regarding one of the applicants. When CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group contacted this individual\u2019s former employers, one of them reported that the applicant had been hired without any prior experience, was trained for a couple of months, and then terminated due to committing cash embezzlement as well as participating in harassment and workplace violence.\u00a0In other words, he was an employer\u2019s nightmare!<\/p>\n<p>Further checks revealed more problems at other organisations \u2013 CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group discovered that the individual had been terminated from a second position after causing a financial loss at the company. By using EmploySmart<sup>TM<\/sup>, the client dodged a major bullet and avoided hiring someone who could have done serious damage, both financially and to the company culture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What you don\u2019t know\u00a0can\u00a0hurt you<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A dishonest employee could be unqualified for the position, possibly endangering others on the job. Or they might be a fraud risk, willing to bend the truth in other ways in order to enrich or advance themselves on your dime.<\/p>\n<p>At CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group, our EmploySmart<sup>TM<\/sup> pre-employment background screening process analyses a job candidate\u2019s claims and credentials, and digs beyond the surface to make sure the facts match up. Our experts conduct extensive checks that examine all of the following details of a potential employee:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verification of address<\/li>\n<li>Verify name and date-of-birth<\/li>\n<li>National ID number<\/li>\n<li>Credit checks<\/li>\n<li>Previous employment verification<\/li>\n<li>Credentials verification<\/li>\n<li>Bankruptcy checks<\/li>\n<li>Civil litigation checks<\/li>\n<li>Criminal history<\/li>\n<li>Record checks<\/li>\n<li>Professional qualifications and memberships<\/li>\n<li>Criminal background checks<\/li>\n<li>\u2026 and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Resume fraud: More common than you think<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In another\u00a0case study,\u00a0CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group\u2019s investigators conducted background screenings of employees who were working for a multinational organisation operating in Pakistan. While verifying education credentials is just one of the aspects of the EmploySmart<sup>TM<\/sup> process, the investigators immediately noticed red flags and initiated detailed checks of the education degrees claimed by the subjects.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group screened 18 degrees claimed from a single university. By contacting the university and conducting an examination of documents and records, CRI<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00ae<\/span> Group found an astounding 5 of them (27.7 percent) to be fake and\/or forged. As it turns out, the following are some of the most common areas of\u00a0resume fraud:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stretching dates of employment<\/li>\n<li>Inflating past accomplishments &amp; skills<\/li>\n<li>Enhancing job titles &amp; responsibilities<\/li>\n<li>Education exaggeration &amp; fabricating degrees<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained gaps &amp; periods of \u201cself employment\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Omitting past employment<\/li>\n<li>Faking credentials<\/li>\n<li>Fabricating reasons for leaving previous job<\/li>\n<li>Providing fraudulent references<\/li>\n<li>Misrepresenting military record<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Resume fraud is a widespread problem for employers in every industry, and at any size company. It\u2019s persistent and sometimes even careful examination of a resume won\u2019t immediately reveal red flags or problems.
