Job interviews often involve deception from both candidates and hiring managers, with nearly 40% of managers admitting to lying, as per a Resume Builder survey. The top three lies involve role responsibilities, career growth, and professional development.
These deceitful tactics often work, as 92% of managers claimed success in convincing candidates who later accepted job offers. Red flags for interviewee deception include discouraging contact with current employees, talking in circles, and evading questions.
Such behaviors may indicate a lack of trust in company culture or a potential disorganization within the company's hiring process and overall culture.
