\"\"A copy of a certificate of employment<\/a> is one of the requirements that are usually requested during a recruitment process. The certificate states that someone has worked in a certain company with a certain position and for a certain period. In the Indonesian Civil Code, a certificate of employment is referred to as a “statement” regarding an individual\u2019s work termination. The certificate of employment is one of the documents that companies need to be skeptical of its authenticity because it is often forged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fake certificates of employment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The HR department has extraordinary access to the company. First, they keep a database of employees. Second, they are given the responsibility of holding the company seal. Third, they have the authority to sign documents concerning employment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Because of such great access, this creates the potential for fraud by HR itself in publishing certificates of employment,” said the Head of Employment Background Screening at Integrity Indonesia, Nancy Desianti.<\/span><\/p>\n

She mentioned that in several recruitment cases, ironically, many HR candidates have committed fraud. In these cases, discrepancies were found in the certificates after verification has been conducted. Some of these discrepancies include the certificates\u2019 numbers which turned out to be invalid, discrepancies in position, tenure, or the certificates being signed by the candidates themselves, or the signatories of the certificates were not the appropriate authorities. In extreme cases, the candidates edited the certificates.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the falsification of certificates of employment is also caused by the proliferation of document mills. Nowadays, counterfeiters are increasingly bold by publicly advertising their illegal services on e-commerce platforms and social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

Certificates of employment verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are many potential risks for employers caused by candidates making false claims on their resumes. Candidates who are recruited with false claims may expose the company to serious risks, for example, theft of assets, corruption, and other misconduct leading to reputational and financial losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, companies need to verify credentials, including certificates of employment. Integrity Indonesia has been trusted by clients from various industry backgrounds as a provider of mitigation services, including Employment Background Screening services.<\/span><\/p>\n
