More than 30% of all job applicants provide false information
Posted on June 17th, 2008 in Career
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?

I dunno this will help or not.
Every software usually have an evaluation version or trial period.
Within the trial period, we can evaluate the employee for “fit and proper” test. Even with an inflating rate of salary, if the employee show great result, we hire him/her.
I always believe this term: “You pay cheap you get monkey”

My experience, when I did some interview with several folks, I could see their faces changing when I asked them to give a name in their university I can call to crosscheck the degree. And I know they are lying.
Salary, I don’t really care they are lying or not. We have our salary structure, that’s all we can have…even though I really like one person, there is nothing I can do to break the salary barrier problem. If I give them tripled, but he/she worth to have it, so have it then…why not?
So for my perspective, they can lie all they want, but if they can’t pass my interview, so nothing. Or they can never go to school, but if they can pass my interview, I don’t really care…
