You can learn so much about the employment history of an applicant by reviewing their resume and this has always been a big part of the hiring process for a company. But it is too easy for an applicant to fudge a little on those resumes so they look their best on that employment history. From changing the hiring or departure dates to cover gaps in employment to changing the jobs performed within the company to look like they had more responsibility than they really did. These changes on a resume can make them look better and can be hard for a potential employer to verify unless they conduct a thorough pre-employment screening on the applicant. This will help them get to the truth on everything for the applicant so they can make the best decision on whether they are right for the company or not.
