"Exemption Assessment" "Exclusive Channel, Refund Guaranteed for Failure" ... Amidst the intensive rollout of professional title evaluation work in multiple regions, some intermediary agencies claim to offer "one-stop" and "one-on-one" professional title evaluation and processing services. In response, the human resources and social security departments warn: Professional title evaluation has standardized procedures and criteria; guaranteed passing through proxies is a scam to be cautious of.

No material declaration? Not happening! Mr. Wang from Henan Province paid over ten thousand yuan for intermediate economist professional title evaluation services after seeing the information on a website. "The customer service said that the price includes everything, such as exams, publishing papers, applying for patents, and the certificate can be verified at the local human resources and social security bureau. In the end, they said they couldn't do it and refused to refund the money," Mr. Wang said. The human resources and social security department stated that falsely claiming to have "internal channels" and promising "full-process agency," ultimately refusing to refund the high fees, is a typical act of fraud. Some institutions even create fake professional title certificates and fake query websites, implementing fraud by "hanging" fake certificate information online.

Multiple human resources and social security departments have stated that they have never cooperated with any third-party agencies or individuals, nor have they entrusted them to carry out any form of agency or consultation activities related to professional title evaluation. To apply for a professional title, one should submit relevant materials according to the requirements and follow the standardized evaluation procedures. The General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has issued a notice requiring that in professional title evaluations for practical fields such as health, primary and secondary school education, engineering, and the arts, papers should not be the primary evaluation indicators. Performance achievements such as technical promotion, high-quality patents, think tank achievements, literary and artistic works, lesson plans, and medical cases can all be considered as representative achievements for professional title evaluation.

Experts say that while the requirements for professional title evaluation have reduced restrictions such as educational background and awards, and reasonably set requirements for papers and research achievements, this does not mean "direct evaluation without providing performance contributions" or "obtaining certificates without passing qualification exams." Material falsification and backroom deals? Strict investigations will be conducted! The reporter found online that not only do intermediary companies offer "one-stop" evaluation services, but there are also numerous advertisements and paid links for paid paper submissions and purchasing academic achievements. Searching for the word "paper" on a well-known shopping website, "Moubao," immediately brings up a large number of links such as "professional title papers" and "submission for professional title evaluation," with a significant portion showing a "+" for the number of people who have paid.

From the perspective of purchase reviews, these stores sell services for ghostwriting and publishing academic papers, charging varying fees based on the level of professional titles being evaluated, the type of journal, and the time limit for publication. So, are there risks involved in buying such papers? Reporters learned that relevant authorities have issued multiple notices to crack down on malpractice such as ghostwriting and publishing academic papers, and fake publications in the process of professional title evaluation. According to regulations, for academic misconduct such as plagiarism, plagiarism, and improper authorship, the obtained professional titles will be revoked, and the case will be recorded in the professional title application and evaluation integrity database.

The "Interim Measures for the Supervision of Professional Title Evaluation" issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security this year once again stipulates that applicants should make a sincere commitment to the authenticity of their application materials. Those who make false commitments or engage in fraud will be disqualified from applying for professional title evaluation within the year. For serious cases involving criminal liability, they will be transferred to relevant authorities for legal processing. Additionally, the measures include industry associations, societies, and other social evaluation institutions as regulatory targets, focusing on behaviors such as monopolizing application channels, manipulating evaluation results, charging exorbitant fees, and colluding with evaluation experts and staff for personal gain.

The human resources department advises that titles are evaluations of the professional ethics, capabilities, and technical levels of professional and technical talents. Candidates should follow laws and regulations, avoid taking risks and shortcuts, as the potential losses may outweigh the gains. Can freelancers participate in the evaluation? Yes! Currently, there are a total of professional titles series in China, involving approximately million professional and technical talents. What is the formal channel for title application? Generally, employers are responsible for reviewing the applicant's performance, publicizing it, recommending the application, and submitting it to the corresponding evaluation institutions through the prescribed procedures.

In recent years, to motivate various talents to innovate, the scope of professional title evaluation in China has been continuously expanded, extending to the non-public sector and highly skilled talents. There are no longer any obstacles for private enterprise talents to participate in professional title evaluation, and highly skilled talents have broken through the restrictions of education level and identity, gaining access to professional title evaluation. Can freelancers participate in the evaluation? The answer is affirmative. Freelancers who meet the requirements can also apply to participate in the professional title evaluation organized by the local human resources and social security departments according to the territorial principle. For example, the "Notice on Carrying Out the Annual Professional Title Evaluation Work in Beijing" explicitly states that in recent years, freelancers who have worked in the fields of stage and film, art, animation and games, literary creation, and arts and crafts in the Beijing area and meet the conditions can participate in professional title evaluation upon recommendation by formal industry associations.
