Reporting Fake Experience in the Workplace: What Steps Can You Take When Companies Don't Act?

Could someone please provide information regarding the following:

1. How and where to report incidents of employees working with fake experience.
2. How can we get information on company HR to report these incidents.
3. If reported, will necessary action be taken in such cases?
4. Will companies knowingly encourage fake experience profiles? I reported an incident to one of the top Indian IT companies around 3 months ago, but no action has been taken against the employee with fake experience.

Thank you.

The company may not have taken action for a number of reasons. For example, how do they know that your information is correct? Have you disclosed why you have raised the issue with them and given your complete credentials? Also, they might have found the worker delivers the goods and is capable, and they badly need his/her services, making it more expensive to take action.

How do you know that they have not investigated?

Let me provide you with answers to your questions and facts.

Answer 1: If you have found such things and can prove them, you just need to inform the HR Head directly by presenting evidence. However, before taking this action, you must check with evidence and sources of information to ensure you don't have any negative relationship or history with that employee. Otherwise, this could also put you in trouble. Like Mr. Saswata mentioned, it is crucial to clarify your purpose, define your relationship with the employee, and state your intentions clearly. Therefore, you need to be certain about every single action you take in this regard.

Answer 2: If you have reported and proven such an act, you will certainly receive information regarding their actions and the process involved. While not in great detail, you will be provided with all possible and necessary information because those who notice and report such things are directly involved in the case for proper and detailed verification.

Answer 3: Of course, if you have strong evidence and clear intentions, actions can be expected. However, we cannot overlook the points highlighted by Mr. Simhan.

Answer 4: Do you genuinely believe companies are knowingly encouraging fake profiles? Will you be able to work with them and be an asset if you lack relevant and substantial experience in a particular role? Companies/Employers aim to hire competent and experienced individuals to accomplish their goals. It is crucial to consider this first and also discuss with HR before making judgments or decisions about what is right or wrong if you truly want to understand the status of your report.

The questions raised by the respective member above need to be answered first.

I would also like to know:

- Is there anything that has been bothering you because of this employee or any personal issues that are compelling you to take action against him/her?
- Are you certain about the validity of the sources providing you with information?
- What benefits are you expecting for yourself and others in this case?
