Mr. Tom Vovers, General Director, HR2B / Talent Recruitment JSC
Accoring to Mr. Tom Vovers, “Professional pre-screening can save you making a costly mistake. HR2B processes around 1000 cvs each month. This experience has shown us common CVs problems in Viet Nam: 35% Errors in Dates, Titles / Qualifications; 65% Omissions in Timeline; 80% Overstatements in Achievements. Pre-screening can help you reduce risk, reduce administration, help you make better hiring decisions, complies with your head office screening requirements (if available), while letting you have a professional screening service provide a powerful incentive for all your candidates to provide accurate data on their education and past employment.”
