Hey everyone,
A friend of mine recently joined Cognizant after clearing the interview and completing the onboarding process. He has received his laptop and accessories.
Before this, he was a fresher with no prior work experience. However, since he wasn’t getting job calls after graduation, he connected with a training company in Delhi. This company didn’t charge him upfront but had a T&C to take 10-20% of his salary for a few years once he got placed.
To help him secure a job, they provided him with fake experience certificates and salary slips. No PF was deducted, and the salary was not deposited directly into his bank account. While joining CTS, he informed HR that he received his salary in cash, which is why he couldn’t submit PF or bank statements. He also provided HR with contact details of the training company for verification.
Since this company is registered with a UIN/CIN on MCA’s website, they might give a positive response to any HR queries. However, my friend is still worried—can CTS still detect that his experience and salary slips are fake? If so, how? Also, how long does the background verification process usually take?
Would appreciate any insights or if anyone has faced a similar situation?
