More than half of CVs submitted by job applicants in 2002 contained lies or inaccuracies, claims new research.
The study by the Risk Advisory Group (TRAG), shows that 56 per cent of the CVs they scanned contained false information - including fake qualifications and a failure to disclose crimes perpetrated against previous employers.
The worst offenders are women in their late 20s and men in their late 30s.
IT contractors were particularly liable to lies or omissions in the CV, with 70 per cent having some sort of discrepancy.
