Recruitment - The Lying Game

Just how common it is in hiring / recruiting process anyway? According to the article located at YourHRGuy.com, very common.

Q: Is it job recruitment corrupt

Lying on your resume - Info Check the U.S., CV checking service, tells us that 80% of people lie on their resume. Strengthening the terminology may be, but awful lie about education, achievements or skill sets? I just do not understand.

Companies are growing increasingly savvy in ferreting is located on the resumes through more comprehensive background checks and carry out pre-and post-hire. More than likely you're going to get caught and the only thing you'll be getting from you is your new reputation for being dishonest. In a world where networking and reputation management is essential is that thethe way in which you want to watch ?

Employment / Recruitment Agency - Not all recruitment professionals are unethical, (I know a lot who play by the rules), but unfortunately you will find some that are. Two of the top complaints I hear are:

They use the famous line, "where you have applied or apply" to the names of companies and deliver them to the sales rep to get their foot in the door. They are small teaser ads for a job, how to build their labor pool.

Although I would never use the methods above, one must think of a job recruiter is that the position filled. Would the above be considered unethical or just creative strategies to finish your work? I'm sure there are arguments on both sides.

hiring managers - Hiring managers are not excluded, two of the most voiced complaints include:

communicate back to the recruiter that their candidate is not what you are looking for when, in fact, the sequel is not even looked at. goes to the candidate because they are "over qualified" for the position when the truth of the matter is, they were a good fit.

It's not the company that lies to the people. Call me crazy, but I just do not see lying as a winning strategy when it comes to employment -. without honesty you can not create better results
