It should be. At the very least, someone who lies on his or her resume should be forced to pay all wages he/she received back to the employer.
If so then employers who lie to candidates, post fake jobs, waste their time at an interview when they've have no intention of hiring them should be fined and forced to pay for all the candidate's wasted time.
When the companies start playing fair then I'll start advocating that candidates reciprocate. Untill then its anything goes on both sides
It is not fraud [a crime] to lie on your resume. The exception would be falsely claiming you have a license or impersonating licensed professions/law enforcement.
As many here can attest companies act as despicably as they want, they have an attourney on staff to let them know how far they can go without being arrested, fined, or sued. As a result, feel free to reciprocate and doing anything you can get away with to enhance your career. I know I feel free to do so.
Fraud isnt "illegal" its a tort. This means a company can sue you over it in civil court and will win. Tort law is very different than criminal law. Lying on a resume is misrepresentation and is fraud. Many job applications will actually state this in fine print.

Companies lie and misrepresent all the time with job ads, the hiring prcess, salary negotiations etc and I have yet to see one successfully sued and vice-versa.

Google "resume fraud." You arent going to hear about cases because its a civil case and the media doesnt give a rats azz.
Yes I believe that they do lead people on. Unfortunately I have learned this lesson the hard way. Never ever stop your job search until you are working full time, and I personally wouldn't halt a job search until I was off of my 90 day probation. My position was eliminated 1 day after my 90 day probation with a company.
A resume and a job application are two different things! You have to sign a job application!!!
Feel free to submit a falsified resume to a corporation and let us know precisely at what point in the process they pursue legal action. That will be a fun educational exercise for us all. The moment you submit a falsified resume to a company, you have misrepresented yourself and that is...as the courts have determined...fraud.
