Employers and Agencies are feeling the burden from the growing number of regulations and legislation. They are now taking more precautions when verifying the details of potential employees.

Stay Ahead of the Competition

With even more applicants chasing fewer jobs in a highly competitive market, CV Insight's services will ensure your credentials stand up to scrutiny and help you stay ahead of the competition.

We offer a comprehensive range of packages to suit most positions. Alternatively, we are able to tailor solutions to meet your own unique requirements.

We are able to provide additional screening services for those in more senior positions or if regulated by the FSA, SIA, DFT and many others.

We deliver cost-effective services because your initial CV details need only be verified the once. If you move to another company or change roles, we are able to renew your existing dossier with your latest position, ensuring your information is always up to date.

Thorough Scrutiny

Research carried out by leading IT recruitment consultancy Elan, found that 56 per cent of organisations among its blue chip client base are now scrutinising prospective employees more thoroughly than they did 12 months ago.

External Threats

External threats, from criminals, terrorists or competitors, may have internal assistance. This could be an employee or any contract or agency staff (e.g. cleaner, caterer, security guard) who has access to your premises.

In 2005 the FSA warned financial businesses that they must check the background of employees more carefully. They were concerned by revelations that organised crime groups were attempting to place staff in financial firms to commit fraud identity theft.

Case Study : CV lies lead to million pound fraud

In March 2006 the BBC reported that Robert Adewunmi was convicted of defrauding his employer, the Office of the Deputy Prime minister, of almost one million pounds.

If his CV had been verified he would never have been given the job. He lied about his accountancy qualifications, and concealed previous criminal convictions.

Misleading CV

Employers have been warned to scrutinise CVs thoroughly when recruiting senior management following the resignation of a leading hotel executive who was suspected of lying about his qualifications. Patrick Imbardelli, head of Asia Pacific operations at the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), resigned after he was confronted about misleading claims he had made about his academic qualifications.

Everyone is doing it

CV fraud is growing because 'people believe everyone else is doing it'. And they are not far wrong - most figures suggest that one in four CVs now contain some sort of lie, from enhancing job titles to hiding dismissals
