What can be done to minimize faking?
by Kumar on Feb 20, 2007 01:42 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is indeed true that many prospective employees fake their resume. The most importabt primary reason being the employers always take a cheap route to negotiate salary as percentage over and above their existing CTC. The faking menance will stop if employers take a stance that they will offer very close to what the the prospective employee demands after a thorough scrutiny of his skill levels. Let us say Mr.X really draws a CTC of Rs.10 Lakhs/annum, and the employer goes to propose an age old increase of 15-25% hike above his present CTC, when he knows pretty well that he needs this guy with his skill levels. The approach of the employer should therefore not be on his current CTC, but close to what is demanded by the prospective employee. Only if this approach is followed this menace could be brought down.

Yes. You are right. Companies must pay the candidate what's he/she is worth of getting payed and not based on the old companie's CTC. Actually this cheap procedure is making people tell lies. Bigger companies know the fact that small companies don't pay like them. Inspite of that, they happen to ask employees from start up organizations about CTC and if the person tells the truth, I am sure he/she is treated as a dumbshell.

Thanks a lot for your loud voice against bad things.
