It’s an exciting time for a company when business is growing and there is a need add more employees and start a hiring process.\u00a0One organisation that was in such a position sought to make sure they were being diligent while hiring new staff. To that end, they engaged CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group\u2019s EmploySmartTM<\/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 CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group\u2019s agents uncovered disturbing details regarding one of the applicants. When CRI\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 Further checks revealed more problems at other organisations \u2013 CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group discovered that the individual had been terminated from a second position after causing a financial loss at the company. By using EmploySmartTM<\/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 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 At CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group, our EmploySmartTM<\/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 In another\u00a0case study,\u00a0CRI\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 EmploySmartTM<\/sup> process, the investigators immediately noticed red flags and initiated detailed checks of the education degrees claimed by the subjects.<\/p>\n In this case, CRI\u00ae<\/span> Group screened 18 degrees claimed from a single university. By contacting the university and conducting an examination of documents and records, CRI\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 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. The only way to properly vet job candidates is to screen them with a thorough pre-employment background screening process.<\/p>\n No organisation can afford to have employees on staff who aren\u2019t what they claim to be. Even a seemingly innocent embellishment can indicate more background problems under the surface, and the potential for future problems down the road.<\/p>\n Every business leader should embrace the need to EmploySmartTM<\/sup><\/a>.
