Fake Resumes in Indian IT Industry- A Study
Abstract
Fabrications of Resumes are apparently quite widespread. Some surveys suggest that as many as two thirds of all CVs and resumes contain forged data because getting a new job can be highly stressful and some people feel the need to enhance their achievements so as to enter the an industry, and as a result present themselves in a dishonest way. People, in the eyes of most organizations, are merely commodities. Most companies in India, for the bulk of their recruitment are looking for cheap labour, those who can do their work to a reasonable extent. This is especially true at low to middle levels across industries such as IT and ITES. So, while recruiting the resources the IT industry has limitations on fake resumes. Fake resume brings down the quality of the product and leads to bitter results. They are difficult to spot and difficult to avoid too in cases. So to find a more feasible solution for this problem, an empirical study has to be done on this issue. This study is focus on analysing the issues of fake resume and providing suggestions which will provide more feasible solutions.
