UK Prime Ministerial Candidate Embroiled in False CV Claims
Andrea Leadsom, who is in the running to be the UK 's next prime minister, has come under criticism after a CV was published that allegedly exaggerated some of her previous roles.
This is yet another instance of a high profile public figure coming under scrutiny for possible CV embellishments, serving as a warning to HR to properly screen all candidates during the recruitment process. This case serves as a warning to HR that even people in society 's higher echelons can possibly alter their resumes, putting a real onus on firms to conduct background checks on all applicants.
