Russians warned of criminal liability for lying in resume

Applicants who knowingly enter false information into the resume risk not only reputation, but also may face legal consequences, up to criminal prosecution. This was told in an interview with IS “Vesti” by independent HR specialist Zulia Loikova.

According to her, the sanctions that threaten the convicted candidate immediately, only at first glance look harmless. The expert noted that such an applicant may not make an offer, but for a deliberate deceiver, risks accumulate and over time can develop into serious problems. In particular, for 43% of employers, lying in a resume becomes the basis for refusing employment, and if fraud is revealed after applying for a job, a person can be immediately fired, including under article.

In addition, Loikova stressed, information about an unscrupulous candidate is rapidly diverging among the HR community.

“Information about an unscrupulous candidate among the hunting community is spreading very quickly. This also puts an end to the future career of such people, she said.

Do not forget about the legal risks, the expert added. In some cases – especially when falsifying information about diplomas or using other people’s data – there may be consequences up to criminal liability, the expert concluded.
