“CV fraud” is a growing problem that all employers should guard against when hiring new staff in any capacity.
Prevention being of course much better than cure, vigilance during the recruitment process is key here - with our labour laws being as complex and full of pitfalls as they are, you could find it very difficult to fire a lying employee down the line.
