MORI CV survey to be released Monday August 6th

CV Validation. com, the firm that offers a vital pre-employment screening tool for both employers and jobseekers, has commissioned MORI to conduct a survey to discover how many people are lying on their CVs, and the implications of doing so. The findings will be released On Monday August 6th*.

The days when job applicants ran little risk of being found out for embellishing their qualifications – or even making them up – will soon be over as firms are becoming more vigilant in checking details.

“Roughly one in four CVs contain false information, ranging from fudged dates to hide a career gap, to falsified identities to conceal a bad credit history. Everyone involved in recruitment has had bad experiences at some point, and there are frequent salutary reminders in the newspapers of fraudulent accountants, bogus doctors or university lecturers without a qualification to their name, and worse. Look at Jeffrey Archer, he even lied about his degree! We veto every aspect of a potential CV or application form. No stone is left unturned. Employers can be confident that the person sitting in front of them at an interview is a true reflection of the written information on the CV”. Mark Castle, MD CV Validation. com
