From what we see, most employers maintain a clearly-stated "no tolerance" policy when they find a job applicant has lied, exaggerated, or misrepresented credentials in any way ... and the employer immediately eliminates that applicant from further consideration. If you maintain such a policy, be sure your underlying background check and verification information is reliably correct, sufficiently detailed, and thorough. And, always give the applicant a chance to respond to the information you've generated. For FCRA-compliant employment and tenancy screening, contact Doris Hebert-Ferrigno at NRG Background Checks. 941-488-8500; 800-531-6522; nrginfo@atlantic.net
