CV fraud is more common than you think. From the Theriault Case to most recent examples, we reported on a few cases when cv fraud got employees and employers in trouble – with countries, like South Africa, now sending employees to jail for lying on resumes.

At a recent leader’s lunch we attended in Melbourne, we asked recruitment experts Pavi Iyer (Mazda Australia), Adam Walker (Big 4 Consultancy) and James Telfer (Cognizant) what was the most outrageoues embellishment they’ve seen on a CV.

Are you a recruitment or HR expert wanting to share your voice with your community?
