A London pre-employment screening company called Powerchex has recently released a survey into CV embellishment in the UK financial sector. Its well worth a look if you’re a HR professional as it outlines the demographics of applicants most likely to lie on their CV. If you want to take a look at the full survey, then go to http://www.powerchex.co.uk, or simply type ‘powerchex’ into google and click the link on their homepage – easy!
Hope this helps :) A
