Introduction
Hiring the wrong person can cost far more than their salary. Beyond financial loss, a bad hire can slow down projects, damage team culture, and erode trust among colleagues.

Why Verification Matters

• A misleading resume or fraudulent certificate can have long-term consequences

• Remote hiring increases uncertainty since in-person cues are unavailable

• Subjective impressions are unreliable and inconsistent

The Risks of Skipping Verification

• Reduced team productivity due to skill gaps

• Increased employee turnover

• Negative impact on company culture and morale

• Potential legal or compliance issues
