SheepKilla 473 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Not as in, "I speak Fluent Spanish," when you don't, but more like "I worked for 2 years at company Y, and company Y doesn't even exist." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kaz 2,439 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) i remember you asking something shady like this before but all i come up with was the time when aza made a thread about fake certificates for degrees and well yeah you could try but i would still use a company that exists. i wouldn't do it though, honesty is valued way too high when you think about hiring someone.

Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It's going to be way easier to find out a company doesn't exist compared to finding out you didn't work for a real one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) i have a good friend who wanted to get into tv. he had 0 work experience, but i knew he was a damn good editor/compositor and camera guy. so, i told him to say he worked for me, as a freelance videographer/editor for 3 years. i have several side companies and just gave him the name of one to use. the place, he sent a resume to, called me. i raved about my friend's work ethic and finished products. he got the job and has been kicking ass since. sometimes, you got to do shady shit to help out a brother.

Nothing wrong with this. If the guy can legitimately do a good job, which he can, he deserved it. If anything, you're doing the company a favor by sending them someone who's good, but just doesn't seem good on paper. Companies these days are retarded and require 5+ years of experience. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would they have to verify it conclusively? Unless you're faking a presence for the company it's going to end a background check real quick when nobody can find any way to contact them.

bhytre 2,753 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I've done this all the time, sometimes I'd mention having worked abroad good luck tracking all that info lmfao.

Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Recruiters and employers have ridiculously high standards nowadays, and won’t hire anyone who doesn’t fit their perfect criteria....and they don’t even know exactly what that includes. I quit my job Friday and am not looking forward to getting back into the job search market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most employers pull this bullshit so they can outsource their labor and pay an immigrant less than half of the normal pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you're faking a presence for the company it's going to end a background check real quick when nobody can find any way to contact them. Accusing an employee of lying is a pretty serious step for a professional firm. So they'd probably say "not verified" rather than "lying" without proof, to avoid a lawsuit. A background check is the final stages of an interview process. The company wants to hire you. Depending on how it's spinned, it's possible to get away with it.
