Forged or Manufactured Degrees
Being a HR professional in today’s business environment is not easy. Along with other challenges that come their way, the one at the core of their responsibilities is staffing. Finding the right person (with the right qualifications, skills and experience), to fill a vacancy in quick time, is always a tough ask.

Falsified Employment Details
There is no nice way to say this – but people lie on their résumés. Especially in areas they can get away with it. Previous experience is such an area and therefore a prime candidate for falsification and exaggeration. Job titles and responsibilities don’t mean the same thing from one company to another. In rare cases where they do match, the functions or level of reporting will differ.

Need for Education Verification
In the background screening business there is a saying, ‘if it is too good, it can’t be true.’ Adam Wheeler was doing just fine till he got ahead of himself and overstated his achievements and grades. He would have got away Scot free if he was just content to acquire a Harvard degree.
The 23 year-old got into Harvard University on the basis of his perfect (but fake) high school grades and SAT scores. He did not stop there. He plagiarized writings and research to win awards, prizes and grants. This ‘A’ student was finally outed when a professor noted that Wheeler's Fulbright and Rhodes scholarship applications claimed straight A's, were full of "numerous books he co-authored, lectures he had given and courses he had taught." Too much. Too good.
