Applicant Screening Leipzig | Application Fraud

Fabricated résumés, fictitious references, forged CVs – deception occurs in many forms. Application fraud is more common than generally assumed. It ranges from minor embellishments in seemingly harmless cases to outright document forgery. A vacation is presented as a language course, a period of imprisonment is reframed as voluntary social work, and unemployment is declared as self-employment or studies. The thinking behind it: no one will check that closely.

Wrong assumption: diligent employers conduct professional applicant screenings before hiring – for example through the investigations of Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Leipzig: +49 341 3549 012-0.

Unlimited Imagination Instead of Unlimited Skills

In the age of computers and software for editing photos and documents, it has become easier for forgers: “secondary school” becomes “university,” “lacking competence” turns into “social competence,” and “to our satisfaction” becomes “to our fullest satisfaction” – not to mention purchased or entirely fake academic degrees. With “carefully executed” fraud, considerable expertise is required to detect such forgeries and prove them against the applicant. Before hiring, companies should have an applicant’s background thoroughly checked by the experienced corporate detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Leipzig, because by employing someone, you are also entrusting them with your professional future.

Behind Every Applicant Could Be the Competition – Corporate Espionage in Saxony

If a résumé and/or employment references appear exceptionally strong, they may well be edited documents. If you were to hire such a fraudster without verification, it is possible that the individual is not only unsuitable for the position, but may also cause more harm than benefit within a short period of time. In the worst case, the applicant is not an “ordinary” candidate, but an industrial spy working for a competitor. Two or three months in your company could be sufficient to acquire sensitive internal knowledge and pass it on to a rival.

It is therefore advisable to contact Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Leipzig before hiring a new employee. We research the applicant’s background with great precision and can provide you with our findings promptly: info@aaden-detektive-leipzig.de.
