Keith Rosser, director of Reed Screening, discusses the rise in qualification fraud from prospective employees at all seniorities and how employers can combat it.
MSPs on the Scottish Parliament’s Education and Skills Committee have been hearing evidence about the changes and have given their qualified support for the Bill.
Mike Haley, Chief Executive Officer of Cifas, said, ‘In today’s competitive job market, it is tempting to lie or exaggerate on an application form or CV, but jobseekers need to be aware of the enormous personal risks this type of fraudulent behaviour carries.
"With cases of people losing their jobs due to social media posts, exaggerated work histories, and exaggerated qualifications on CV's all on the rise job applicants must be more wary of the claims they make and employers must be more diligent in the checks they undertake".
