Recruiting: Have you ever lied on your CV or résumé?
Anonymous
I can attest to Anonymous' answer. One of the best kept secrets in the US
tech industry is the widespread H1b fraud headed by the Indian tech
consulting companies. These companies supply consultants with fake resumes
to all the American companies. These companies displace hundreds or
thousands of American tech workers with inexperienced H1b imports or
unemployed international students. I am an international student who was
lured to one of these companies when I was desperate for a job after
graduation. They offered to pay $ 55k after a month and half in training
sounded too good to be true. Like myself, these companies prey on hundreds
of thousands of international students with weak job prospects in a dead
economy. However, the catch is that these new hires will have to fake their
resume with 7+ years of experience. This way, the consulting company can
charge high billing rate, about $100/hour, to the client, for proving an
experience consultant. The worker will only receive about $30 / hour, which
is about $55k a year.
Why is this fraud still not exposed yet ?
It is a win-win for everyone except the mid-level US tech workers. Instead
of hiring a mid-level tech working and paying him $150 / hour with benefits,
the company can hire a consultant who can work for much less without any
benefits. In addition, the company can fire a consultant at any time without
any liabilities. For this these reasons, the companies have a strong
preference for a temp H1b consultant.
How does the resume tampering work?
A typical timeline of an H1b hire is like this:
- There is an opening at a company for a senior developer in a company, like
Microsoft.
- As per H1b rules, the company posts ad on newspapers and internet for the
position. The ad usually requires the applicant to have expert level skills
in so many software suites that it is impossible that an American worker
will fulfill the requirement. This may be done intentionally by the project
manager to make the position go unfilled and hire an H1b worker.
- Since the position is now unfilled, the company approaches an Indian
consulting companies to provide them with the worker.
- These IT consulting companies have workers tied with them on a H1b visa
who are ready to interview and relocate anywhere for work. They have faked 7
years of experience on their resumes and they just hope to learn on the job
before getting fired. The client company usually takes an phone interview
which is taken by someone else, an experienced person, on the consultant's
behalf.
- The fake resume states that the consultant has already worked in 4-5 US
companies. These resumes are about 6-7 pages long. In fact, every consultant
has an identical resume, with different companies of course. The IT
consulting companies ask their contacts, who is actually working on the
company on the resume, to be the reference for the person who is faking the
resume.
- The worker, like Anonymous, hopes to learn on the job. Since, he / she is
a temporary consultant, the worst case scenario is that he / she will be
fired for being incompetent. In other words, they cannot face legal action
for faking their resume as they are not a full time hire.
This practice is widespread in the US tech industry. Wikipedia says that 40%
of the workers in Microsoft HQs in Seattle are temp H1b consultants. It is
likely that a big chunk of these workers started out with a fake resume.
Once they get enough skills to get the work done the resume becomes
irrelevant. This widespread fraudulent practice has given a bad name to H1b
visa which is the only way for an international student to stay in the US
after graduation. | l******d
