A detailed executive search can indicate all the red flags

After completing four long years in an engineering college, the candidate becomes aware of unavailability of campus placement. Not only the students of engineering college but the students of arts are also broken – hearted over this prevailing issue. So what do they do on completing 4 years? As a fresher from engineering background they set up their journey to hunt jobs in good reputed companies. But only handful of them settles down with their goals accomplished. While other strives really hard to fulfill their motive but before they are recruited, there comes the next batch of fresher’s. Sad isn’t it? So what do they do now! At this stage, when they are deprived on their career, few of them take a wrong path. Their friends who are now settled down in big MNC’s will be asked to gather counterfeited documents. So with great fear, they sketch out to approach unauthorized companies that run with the objective of providing fake certificates and documents.
Today the cities are flocked with these tiny firms equipped with few employees, who try and gather hopes from these dejected candidates. They charge small to medium amounts to grant them the needed certificates. Finally these candidates are contented and start attending interviews in big reputed companies and mostly MNC’s. In order to make their forged certificates appear genuine, they prepare hard day and night. Finally they get selected in big reputed companies and stay pacified.

So once the candidates who clear all the rounds, they short list and provide them with offer letter. Only few take up the background checks to ensure the certificates provided are genuine or not. Negligence to this verification can cost these companies a lot. Totally unaware of their actual experience with the faked certificates provided they easily earn executive positions when compare with others, who have been working honestly.
