Importance of Screening

Examples of Fabrications on Resumes

Background screening should be completed on all employees, from the CEO down. As the examples below show, false information

but are also very bad publicity for all concerned; the level of trust in a company whose senior management have been found to fabricate any
information is greatly eradicated.
