“…The numbers are significant because it means that employees are a using their personal devices to access corporate data in large numbers.

That’s why there’s a push for IT to officially support more of these user-owned devices so that it can verify or set up enterprise-approved security and privacy settings…”

More than 30% of all job applicants provide false information

Several days ago, I read some article which said that:

“…More than 30% of all job applicants provide false information on their resumes, according to the Society of Human Resource Managers

And the top five most outrageous lies according to Hireright are
1. Falsifying the Degree or Credential Earned
2. Inflating Salary History or Title Held
3. Concealing a Criminal Record
4. Exaggerating Dates of Past Employment
5. Hiding a Drug Habit
…”

That’s why every company need to have a good head hunter, since lying on curriculum vitae or resumes is very easy. And based on my experience even some of biggest company in Indonesia doesn’t have a good mechanism for background checking or screening for their employee.

Any opinion?
