Someone I know applied for an SC position with a fake resume. Literally no IT experience. Apparently recruiter bought it and scheduled a second round with a PPMD. I can't accept the fact that our colleagues are getting laid off and yet people like these get an opportunity to join the firm. Any thoughts?

If they are applying for Deloitte, then I would contact the recruiter and out them.

Not sure what the hold up is.

Yeah but probably won’t pass background check

My firm contacted all of my employers directly and if anything even felt slightly off, they would ask for my W2s for proof and signed documents from current employees. It was the most comprehensive process I have ever experienced. Having one odd contract employment job, I went through hell to get it verified.

I’m guessing if they don’t have any of the actual skills that they’ll fail pretty hard in the interviews

like

Well I’d expect they are exposed in the subsequent rounds.

Recruiters aren’t supposed to be assessing technical depth. It doesn’t surprise me that they could pass this phase.

Important to note that some roles require limited tech know how, even in tech / digital strategy space.

Darn. Well I genuinely hope they get exposed then.

Or maybe just stay in your lane and let them get exposed on their own? It’s not worth focusing on the sad lives of others.

Looks like OP is jealous of this so called acquaintance. Honestly, why do you care? Let people do their own thing. If they fail it’s their fault.
