I mean, kind of but not really.
Any academic of even marginal skill can smell a padded CV from a mile away. The type that do this are not serious people and will waste your time and resources. Knowing how to identify an imposter is a survival trait.
Usually the type to pad a CV with garbage are eyeing admin or corporate gigs, not academic success. A search committee or tenure committee wouldn't look too kindly at a bunch of wacky papers in the east austrian journal of ass-scratch.
Yes there is huge demand to be published, but quality matters a lot if you intend to seriously participate in the scientific community.
A couple drops of "Eau de Népotisme" and the smell goes away miraculously. Torturing your job requisites so only the desired local candidate can apply is a way to "solve" it.
For example, in Germany it is extremely rare to become a professor at the. University where you did your phd/postdoc. It's almost always seen a something not quite right.
Now there is still lots of politics involved in the hiring process. Tenured positions are rare and often the other academics on the committee want to candidates which strengthen their own research area (although interestingly if there is a colleague down the corridor or someone at a university half way around the world who can do some technique you require, collaboration is much more likely to happen with the external person)
