One third of CXO aspirants in India Inc fudge resumes: Search firms - The Economic Times: "If Scott Thompson's unceremonious exit as CEO of Internet giant Yahoo last weekend, on charges of "embellishing academic credentials" in his CV, is shocking, here is a darker truth closer home. Five top executive search firms here agree that one in every three candidates they screen for CXO-level jobs in India Inc exaggerates or fudges information.
These search firms are yet to come across blatant falsification of academic credentials, but they routinely catch CXO-level job applicants lying on compensation, current roles and responsibilities.
"At least three out of 10 executives misstate information on compensation. Another area that gets inflated is roles and responsibilities," says Navnit Singh, the new chairman & country head at Korn/Ferry International. "
