When you recruit people, the main goal of your organization
is to select best employee. The main disadvantage is that you cannot read
minds, you have to depend upon the resumes, degrees and on the information
provided by the candidate in the interview process. Half candidates lie during
their interview. It may affect the productivity and revenues of your
organization. In worst scenario, you may need to pay penalties.
Here we discuss some common lies told by candidates during interview.
1.”I got X Grade at Y University”
In this field, a candidate can deceive you easily. It is
rare that a company check the background of documents. They can represent fake
degree during interview. It may result in the selection of the unqualified
candidates.
2.”I am employed from past X Years”
There may be some
time gap between two employments but candidates feel that it may hurt their
chances of getting good job. So, they extends dates to cover gap. In this case,
you can talk politely and ask reasons in any.
3.“I made X
improvements at my last job”
Employees generally say they made accomplishments at last
job like increase in turnover, efficiency. It is difficult to cross check these
arguments. So, you can ask candidates the ways of bringing these
accomplishments and how they would go making these improvements in your
company.
4.”I was team leader at last company”
Candidates generally lie regarding this point to gain hike
in salary and better post. You can cross check it just by calling last
employer. You can also ask questions about leadership skills and ask him
solutions by putting him under some circumstances.
