The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled the
generation of highly realistic synthetic data. We identify a new vulnerability,
LLMs generating convincing career trajectories in fake resumes and explore
effective detection methods. To address this challenge, we construct a dataset
of machine-generated career trajectories using LLMs and various methods, and
demonstrate that conventional text-based detectors perform poorly on structured
career data. We propose CareerScape, a novel heterogeneous, hierarchical
multi-layer graph framework that models career entities and their relations in
a unified global graph built from genuine resumes. Unlike conventional
classifiers that treat each instance independently, CareerScape employs a
structure-aware framework that augments user-specific subgraphs with trusted
neighborhood information from a global graph, enabling the model to capture
both global structural patterns and local inconsistencies indicative of
synthetic career paths. Experimental results show that CareerScape outperforms
state-of-the-art baselines by 5.8-85.0% relatively, highlighting the importance
of structure-aware detection for machine-generated content.
