Survey Finds 88% of Employers Have Found a Misrepresentation on a Resume
A new survey has found that 88 percent or organizations uncovered a misrepresentation on a resume and 84 percent reported that verifying new hires' previous employment history and education credentials uncovered issues that would not have been found otherwise.
The 2016 HireRight Employment Screening Benchmark Report also found that employers are continuing the trend of hiring contingent, contract and temporary workers to fill their open positions, with 81 percent of respondents screening this “extended workforce” — almost double those that screened this segment five years ago (48%).
