Super Val-ID-ate: Eliminating Resume Fraud One Candidate At A Time

Wow! It has been almost a year since my last blog post. The past year has been jammed pack, and this year also looks like it will be full of great things.

The job climate has improved, but many are still seeking employment and ways to get in front of employers. We have been diligently presenting Val-ID-ate to users on both sides of the equation: job seekers and employers. We are preparing to work with resume writers and other job assistance professionals to give people the way of standing ahead of the pack while ALSO alleviating some of the hiring process stress for overworked HR managers.

Have you noticed all the articles about resume fraud? Some situations have made for sensational news, but what about the other applicants who lied and got the job? Or the ones who were discovered right before offer letter? Think about the hiring manager who is annoyed because of all the time and resources that were spent interviewing and processing the candidate? I am sure that they were relieved that they "dodged a bullet" when the untruths were was uncovered, but wouldn't it have been great if he or she went into the interviewing process confident that the candidate (at least) met all of the credential requirements?

We are getting ready for some exciting times and impactful partnerships. Stay tuned!
