With few job openings available in today's down economy, resume fraud is on the increase. According to one research group, the percentage of applicants misrepresenting their educational background has risen from 13.6 in 1995 to 16.07 in the second half of 2009. A recent university study showed that 20 percent of students submitting resumes to the university’s Career Center had inflated their grade-point averages. To make things worse, a new industry is emerging that will set up bogus academic accreditations, employment histories, military experience, and credit references. 

For employers, this means they must make an investment in hiring. Management 2000, an Indiana PEO, provides the human resources help employers need to make good hiring decisions. The Human Resource professionals at Management 2000 have the experience and human resource management tools needed to develop effective hiring and other human resource procedures.
