<p>“The highest trend for forgery has been found among allied health professionals and nurses – an industry in which it’s literally a question of life or death.” </p>
<p>Sunil Kumar, CEO of DataFlow Group, discusses the surge in skilled migration, a 30% increase in employment certificate fraud rates and the future of verification to streamline the recruitment process across the globe. Kumar says “In order for organisations to protect themselves, their other employees and their customers and/or patients, verification is essential in the recruitment process.”</p>

<p>Hiring genuine applicants has become incredibly difficult, particularly within high-risk industries like healthcare. 85% of submitted CVs and job applications contain false information and thousands of unaccredited universities and diploma mills are awarding fake degrees and credentials to those who pay. Sunil Kumar, CEO of the DataFlow Group, discusses professional migration, a rise in employment certificate fraud rates, background checks and the future of verification to streamline the recruitment process. </p>

<p>Fake degrees and their infiltration into the workplace should be a considerable cause of concern for companies worldwide. Alejandro Coca says that unqualified employees affect “your organisation’s reputation, resources, clients, brand, not to mention the implications can even be life-threatening.”</p>
<p>“The technology and practices used to create realistic yet false diplomas make it more difficult for employers to detect fraudulent certifications.”</p>

<p>René Seifert says, “The pandemic has caused an increase in unemployment rates. Additionally, the increase in online learning, working from home and access to the internet allows diploma mills – an unregulated institution of higher education granting degrees with few or no academic requirements – to flourish.”</p>
