A significant rise in CV fraud linked to AI tools has been reported across UK businesses. According to research by Hedd, 67 percent of large companies have observed an increase in job application fraud, attributing it to AI tools used to enhance or fabricate experience or qualifications. Nearly half (45 percent) of large companies discovered that applicants had provided false information about their qualifications, such as claiming degrees they did not earn or inflating grades. Experts urge employers to review their recruitment policies and implement secure verification processes to combat this growing issue.
