Forged Marksheets & Employment Records



Trend



In today’s business environment, with instances of corporate scandals on the rise, global job mobility, and recession causing higher unemployment, it is imperative for organizations to examine job applications even more vigilantly. Organizations, irrespective of their size, need to be conscious of the increasing red flag trend in pre employment checks so as to remain cautious of hiring employees willing to bend their morals to grab a desirable job. Employees like these are more likely to be detrimental to an organization and are often accompanied with hidden liabilities.
