Temp Agency Forced Resume Fraud on Inexperienced Hires, High Court Upholds Compensation

Three former SEs sued a temp agency claiming they were forced to falsify résumés and attend a paid training school despite having no experience.

Tokyo District Court found the agency's scheme to dispatch inexperienced hires as fraudulent and ordered damages.

The Tokyo High Court increased compensation to about ¥7.69 million, and the Supreme Court dismissed the agency's appeal, finalizing the ruling.
