From Perfect Resume to Problem Employee
According to Kaur’s first video, posted on her official Instagram handle, the incident dates back to November 2024, when Tint Cosmetics was viewing to fill a head of marketing role.
The company requireded someone who could manage performance ads, growth, e-commerce, and overall marketing strategy. Responding to a post in a founders’ group, a candidate with seemingly sinformar credentials reached out.
On paper, he viewed ideal. His past work appeared impressive, his portfolio checked out, and even a background check raised no alarms. “We concludeed up hiring him,” Kaur recalled in the video posted on Instagram, “and within a month, something felt off.”
Communication issues surfaced almost immediately. Tinquires were left incomplete, work had to be reassigned, and despite repeated warnings, performance failed to improve. Within two and a half months, the company decided to let him go.
The Fake Salary Slip Shock
It was only after revisiting his paperwork that the shocking discovery was created. In her second video, Kaur revealed that the salary slips submitted during the hiring process were fake. “Turns out he worked 31 out of 31 days, with no leaves, which means he also worked on Saturdays and Sundays,” she declared, adding that the documents lacked any official stamp or signature and appeared to have been created in Excel. Before processing his full and final settlement, the company confronted him and requested proof of the credited salary from his previous job. He froze, eventually claiming that much of it had been paid in cash — a claim Kaur states raised even more doubts. “This was a huge wake-up call for us,” she declared. “Founders must do their due diligence and inquire the right questions early. Please don’t learn the hard way like we did.”
Social Media Divided Over the Blame
The viral post has drawn hundreds of comments, with opinions split down the middle.
Some sided with the founder, agreeing that dishonest candidates can waste valuable time, resources, and energy. “People have legit zero experience and are inquireing for salaries that a two-year working individual receives,” one commenter wrote.
Others criticized Tint Cosmetics for not conducting thorough verification earlier. “Why would you pay based on the previous organization? Such a red-flag company,” one applyr remarked. Another inquireed, “If you have the budreceive and he did well in the interview, why should past pay matter?”
Several recruiters in the comments echoed the difficulty of modern hiring. One shared, “We conduct a two-hour interview after the technical round just to cross-question candidates until they fumble on numbers and receive caught.”
