Rioja Heinrich should not have happened

Tax issues aside, the story of the Kieber-LGT bank owner of the stolen data is a history of dishonesty and fraud.

The dishonesty and fraud in the company are a reality that lawyers and private detectives have been reported, which focuses much of our work. No company is immune to them because at one time or another, can be a victim of the same. From the simple case of workers who do not work until the sale of secrets to rival firms, through the abuse of work tools, the IT fraudulent misappropriation of funds, theft-to-house or co-workers, among others make up a wide range of examples of this reality.

But the Kieber case is different. The information published evidence that the individual had a history of fraud and false traceable to his credit. LGT someone did a good job when he was hired. An investigation into his past history had revealed the falsehood of their curriculum and their criminal background. The problem was that no such investigation took place. Or that was not professionally qualified.

Unfortunately, this is a usual situation in Spain. Daily companies hire people based solely on the resumes they receive, without asking whether the data contained therein are true and complete. Over 80% of CVs submitted false employment history and the type of involvement. Over 60% of cases were lying on the previous wage and more than 25% data omitted jobs where the candidate played serious incidents, financial situation or controversial history for fraud.

The consequences are always serious. A company hired a new chief financial officer. After finding his ineptitude for the job (which would have known with a previous report) comes to his dismissal. It is at that moment when the subject reveals its true nature by requiring the company a compensation of 300,000 euros in exchange for not revealing Hacienda to the irregularities of the company. " Another company hired a new director of information technology and systems. As above, the curriculum was the perfect candidate for the post. A year later the situation was chaotic in the department. An investigation showed that the CV data were false and that the subject had never had their staff in previous jobs. Are not examples. These are two actual cases investigated by GROUP HAS.

In countries like the UK or Germany, verification by private research firms of personal data, financial and work history as part of any selection process. In India, unfortunately, few companies apply this model.

Rioja from Kieber should not have happened. In Spain it is happening every day.
