In the last couple of articles, we explored the problem that CV fraud creates to the economy, as well as how CVProof will start a new era of career management.
Today, we’ll be digging a little deeper into two industries that have seen the implication of this problem first hand.
Aviation and Healthcare
The aviation and healthcare industries face considerable financial pressures which have a tendency to impact profitability.
One business cost not measured accurately is CV fraud.
Employees not certified in their chosen field of aviation and healthcare, but create false credentials to appear as though they are. The stakes are high, especially as a high-trained doctor, nurse or pilot. CV Fraud can cost a business dearly, especially one that has to be above board.
Operation CVProof
François Bouteiller of Plane & Simple, and CVProof aviation expert adviser, spoke about fraud being commonplace in the aviation industry, having witnessed fake licenses and aircraft type ratings. He says:
‘With today’s quality of home scanners and copiers, anyone with the wrong mind-set can falsify a document. Some authorities are requiring airlines to trace back and obtain training records and qualifications of key personnel from the last 5 years.’
With the advancement of technology, companies can more effectively assess risk exposure and certification obligations by ‘CVproofing’ them.
Our platform will make it easier to track the credentials and training of employees, and elevate fraud prevention measures to reduce the associated business cost. Though fraud still represents a huge liability, a company can take simple steps to mitigate the issue.
A Blockchain Reaction
Blockchain technology safeguards against people lying on their CV, a major concern for companies in the aviation and healthcare industry.
This type of fraud can be devastating in both industries, especially with regards to health and safety.
If under qualified individuals are employed on the premise of their fraudulent CV, this could put people’s lives at risk.
Fraudulent certifications are used as a method to conduct fraud, but through blockchain technology, fraud can be mitigated, staff efficiency is optimised and the business cost fraud represents, is reduced.
Instead of paying significant amounts to third party companies to perform history checks of the candidates, CVProof would provide at very marginal cost, a 100% check in no time and throughout the career of the candidates.
As a consequence, this innovative process thought by CVProof using the blockchain technology will be very beneficial not only to the authorities issuing the licences, but also to the airlines, limiting their costs and enhancing the safety of their operations.
François Bouteiller believes blockchain technology can be used for its unparalleled security. This would ensure documents issued by the FAA, for example, are legitimate, which will enhance regulation considerably.
Aviation staff are highly mobile personnel, and it is rare for employees to complete their whole career in the country their license was issued.
Bouteiller believes blockchain technology is a solution due to ‘the lack of trust in the ‘paper only’ version of qualifications, which don’t show history and cross-examined pieces of evidence’.
The Truth Is Out There
The future on tracking certification and training will be easy, with a simple mouse click.
The truth will be out there with many in the aviation and healthcare industries having their own certification and training check-ups.
CVProof will be the final frontier on combating CV fraud in the workplace, and bringing efficiency to the interviewing table, as well as to career management.
We’re half-way through our pre-sale and looking to speak to accredited investors interested in being a part of CVproofing career management.
