Hiring for a high profile position takes a lot of due diligence.  Take the example of Scott Thompson, whom Yahoo hired as its CEO. His downfall was his resume, which claimed that he had a computer science degree.  His failure to review his resume which, he claimed, the executive recruitment agency created, cost him his job and the company a major black eye.

In the early- to mid-2000s, if you were like most employers you were (and probably still are) fixated on controlling the increasing cost of health care. One of the many tools that came on the scene in those days was the consumer-directed health plan (CDHP). CDHPs, which often feature high-deductible component, were meant to increase employee awareness and accountability in the health services transaction.  The long-term goals were to control healthcare spending and make employees better consumers of health care.
