New employee is a fake, where to go from here?

[londonnotlangdon]

It's a large organisation and I just had to send off her paperwork, passport, things like that

She was given the job after her second interview last week.

However, she has emailed me these documents (fine), and her birth certificate says born in September 2002?

That makes her 19?

This is a problem because, for example, her CV says she was an Executive Assistant to a Director in 2018? When she would've been in school?!

I've asked HR, who haven't replied properly, I've asked them to call. But someone replied to my email of concern with 'so you don't want this new me ever of staff? Why not?'

What can actually be done about this?

Problem solved 😂👍🏻

Problem solved then.

She likely got a better job offer.

So @DogInATent the question is about her having no references, saying she worked at a large company as a PA at 13 not at her dads hone study. You come across very defensive. These are all fair questions. I had to provide evidence of all of this to work.

That's good. Problem solved.

It's important to learn from this and look at how you can change your checks in future.

I don't have a proper, fully documented LinkedIn profile. I'm currently employed. Does that make me dodgy?

People who are saying she should be given the role are crazy. She's potentially a lier!

She’s definitely seen this thread!

👆 😂😂😂
Love this

it is crazy and if you do this with one candidate then why not the rest and then why not bother to even check at all?

🙄

Out of interest, did she ‘work’ at Woolworths OP? There’s often things going around about putting Woolworths on your CV to get into a job.

Problem solved then.

Next time you interview, consider using competency based questions.

It's much harder to blag if you have to provide specific examples.

She probably hasn’t see the thread, it’s because she’s porkie pied.

Potentially HR gave her a heads-up? If not then your thread just helped a fraudster.

HR / you should still report to Action Fraud, because the same person will be off doing this elsewhere

That's a relief.

Wonder if she is on here

Those porkie pies started unravelling. 🤣

Clearly it depends on what he puts on his CV, tutor for KS2 children, fine, head of department at large secondary school not so much.

Not the same thing at all

According to her age she's have been about 6 years old when Woolworths closed!

She's definitely seen this thread - although when I was 19 this site would have been the last place I'd go online! there were no websites at all when I was 19

Phew!! Major ballache averted. I doubt she's seen this, probably it's just that she's being asked too many questions for comfort.

Pick & Mix Quality Control Manager.

I doubt she’s seen it - but I’d imagine there were a few “mumsnet spreadsheet” types have spent all morning on Instagram. 🙄

@PenelopeLively - the issue is that the OP should not be the one doing the asking. That's been made clear by myself and several other posters.

I imagine the Senior HR person contacted her and after one or two questions she realised the game was up.

It is not age discrimination to verify a CV. It is not age discrimination to withdraw an offer of employment based on an exaggerated CV.

She would have been about 7 when Woolworths folded!

The thing is this, the first job she ever had was with a company, a very large one that people know, that went under

So you have no way of knowing if she actually worked there or has just put it on to make herself look better. Oldest trick in the book.
