In today’s world, whether small or big, established or a start-up, all organizations are moving towards a stringent background verification process. Still, 87% discrepancies are found between the information supplied and the information verified.
Story time
Akbar was very fond of birds. One day, a bird catcher came to his kingdom with a very colorful bird. The bird catcher informed Emperor Akbar about the qualities of the colorful bird, which looked so beautiful, danced like a peacock, and flew like an eagle. The emperor was very happy, and the bird catcher was immediately rewarded with 50 gold coins. The bird catcher left the kingdom in a hurry.
When the bird catcher left, Birbal said to the Emperor, “This bird is not dancing like a peacock. Maybe it needs a bath.” He asked for a glass of water. When Birbal gave a bath to the bird, everybody was shocked to see that it wasn’t any special bird; it was just a pigeon. The bird catcher had fooled everybody. Birbal saw colors on the bird catcher’s fingers and hence knew that it was no special bird. The bird catcher was caught and given a punishment.
Today’s background verification process is no less than Birbal’s sharp mind. Resume beautification of any sort is decolored in no time. Who is the real loser in the entire process—the organization or the prospective candidate?
Of course, the organization loses money and the most valuable resource—time, but eventually, they find a suitable candidate who is apt for the role and has a resume that is correct word by word. But what about the prospective candidate? The candidate resigns from his current job to get the new one, which he got on the basis of his embellished resume. After the "bathing" of the resume, that is, after the background verification, if there are any added colors, they are washed off.
In turn, firstly, the prospective candidate is shown the door immediately. Secondly, his name is added to the blacklisted candidates list—which means he will never get a job in that organization, ever!

Both the employer and the would-be employee are losers. In a macro sense, the CVs of Indian candidates would be viewed by foreign employers with suspicion. When you falsify a CV, you cause damage to yourself, loss to the employer (but gain for those who verify CVs), and a loss of credibility from foreign employers.
