In need of a diploma? No problem

Some people have always aspired a high placed position but missed the boat because they do not have the appropriate qualifications. These qualifications are non-negotiable demands. Other requirements are easier to overcome at the job interview. Of course the applicant is loyal and working hours do not matter. And with regard to integrity: he recently refunded a sum of money that was undue.

However, qualifications are not negotiable. You either have a diploma or you don’t. Although the applicant who lacks a diploma could of course make up a story that it was lost in a fire or while moving to another place, it is still possible for the employer to check if the diploma was truly given out.

Now unqualified job seekers can order the required diploma for a small amount on the Internet. In order to receive a diploma they only have to indicate the job they are after. The diplomas are then sent to them by mail. With a hundred quid they make their career. University, Higher Vocational Education and other diplomas are all available.

Although criminal activity on the Internet is not a new phenomenon, we were still quite surprised to discover this on the Internet. It proves once again that there is no harm in screening your applicants before hiring them. Feel free to contact us about setting up pre-employment screenings in your company.
