It is when someone wrote CV. with not real (experience, events, study) in order to get work or be hired

·        Fabricated education credentials: Fake candidates tend to skip educational qualifications or try to hide year of passing out.

·        Employment history: Some people provide negligible information in their CVs, such as, 6 years work experience in HR sector (not mentioning the roles/positions handled). One can also cross check whether the company name and location provided by him really match.

·        Use of words: A genuine candidate would explain about himself in the very beginning of his profile and mention his career objective in own style. Whereas, a fake candidate would use tailor made words in his profile. A fake resume would be very generic and flowery without giving away any specific operational details. 

·        Social network: Authenticity could also be checked by checking the candidate’s profiles on social networking sites.

·        Double check: The perfect way to judge a resume will always be having a candid conversation with the candidate and cross verifying the details on the resume at the screening level, Spotting lies in a resume is not a rocket science; all it takes is a little bit of common sense.
