Grades are something useful for students as a way to evaluate their progress and get feedback. Anytime you implement a way of demonstrating someone's competence on a scale (GPA etc) you will have some companies that target the higher end of that scale. I don't think cheating will result in grades becoming something useful for students. If they're useful for students in showing how they demonstrate performance, employers will use that to set a baseline for expected competency. The only way to remove that is to not have a GPA type metric but more of a pass/fail metric that puts all graduates on an equal level.
