Why this matters for your organization

CV fraud isn't just about dishonesty — it directly impacts your bottom line. When candidates misrepresent their qualifications, you risk hiring someone who can't perform the role, leading to wasted training resources, team disruption, and lost productivity. The average cost of a bad hire reaches 30% of an employee's annual salary when accounting for lost time and management overhead.

A single bad hire can cost your company significantly more than just salary

Direct financial loss

Wasted salary, benefits, and recruitment costs averaging 30% of annual salary

Team atmosphere impact

Onboarding costs

During the first 3–6 months of employment, new hires typically consume more resources than they contribute. They require training, mentorship, and time to understand company processes. When a hire doesn't work out, this entire investment is lost, and the cycle must restart with a new candidate, effectively doubling the cost and time before seeing positive ROI.
