MOST COMMON LIES TOLD DURING HIRING PROCESS
When you’re contemplating hiring a new employee, then you’re also entrusting them with a substantial amount of information and access to important files and documents within your business. Whether you’re hiring them as a cashier for a retail position, administrative duties, or upper management, you’ll be entrusting them with confidential and proprietary information.
Throughout the hiring process, inclusive of submitting a resume, it’s become more common than not, for applicants to make claims of trustworthiness and integrity. It’s highly advisable for you to take precautionary measures to protect yourself and your company in case those claims prove to be false.
Below is a sampling of the most common lies told during the hiring process and the percentage of candidates who have, or would consider telling them:
- Possessing a mastery of skills they barely use (like Excel or a foreign language): 60%
- Employed at a company longer than they did in order to omit another employer: 50%
- Having a higher-grade point average (GPA) by more than half a point: 49%
- Holding a director title when the actual role was manager or other equivalent level: 41%
- Earning a degree from a prestigious university when they were actually credits short on credits: 40%
- Earning a degree from a prestigious university instead of where they actually attended: 39%
- Earning a degree from a prestigious university when they’d only taken one or two classes online: 39%
- Saying they achieved honors wherein they didn’t: 33%
