One of X friends shared a shocking story that reveals the dirty backdoor hiring practices happening in India’s IT industry.

While genuine professionals are being silently laid off, fake experience candidates are being hired in bulk through corrupt deals.

THREAD👇

1. There’s a growing nexus between shady institutes, corrupt HRs, and Managers in top MNCs.

Example:
An institute gives a 2020 graduate fake documents,
A. 3–4 yrs fake experience
B. Salary slips
C. Bank statements (which DON’T match actual banking data)

All for ₹3–4 Lakhs!

2. He mentioned that, "student" gets placed in a top IT company, with help from a manager who gets a commission from the institute.

Yes, the same managers & HRs who reject real candidates for minor gaps in Form-16, PF mismatch, or salary slips.

3. One such institute has reportedly placed 300+ fake candidates, earning ₹20+ Crores in 3 years.

How?
A. Own fake companies to issue experience letters
B. Bribes to police
C. Political protection

This is an organized scam, not an isolated event.

4. The worst part? When layoffs happen, genuine employees are axed first to protect the fake ones with manager backing. And eventually, even these fake-ex guys get thrown out, losing both job & their ₹3–4 lakh investment. It’s a lose lose cycle. Except for the middlemen.

5. Many major companies have poor or compromised background checks.

Why no verification through:
A. In-person bank statement checks?
B. 26AS income records?
C. PF contribution history?

Instead, fake docs are blindly accepted. Why?

6. It’s time we ask tough questions:

A. Why is there ZERO accountability on HRs and hiring managers?
B. Why aren't these fake institutes being shut down?
C. Who is auditing background verification firms?
The silence = complicity.

7. We must demand:

A. Centralized, foolproof background checks via 26AS, PF, & bank validation,
B. Strict audits on internal hiring practices.
C. Jail time for HRs, managers, and institutes involved in fraud

This isn’t just unethical, it’s criminal.

8. To the genuine job seekers who’ve been rejected unfairly, you are not alone.

To those protecting or ignoring this scam, you are part of the problem.

And to those profiting from this system, the truth always comes out.

9. He said he has details of top companies, institutes, and even details of students. But I clearly told him, I don’t want to know. Because this is not just about one company or a few bad actors. This is a deep-rooted problem with the entire system. The hiring and background verification process must be fully transparent and strictly monitored. Until that happens, this rot will continue to grow.

10. We’ve already seen shocking cases like Accenture, where hundreds were laid off after being caught with fake experience documents. And yet, the system continues to fail. No accountability, no prevention, just reaction after the damage is done .

11. Even Cognizant had earlier admitted to laying off several employees who secured jobs using fake experience and forged documents. When top IT firms are forced to clean up mess like this, it clearly exposes how broken and corrupt the hiring ecosystem has become.

RT & share to reach companies that MUST implement strict interviews & solid background checks.

Let’s end this rot.
