| Abstract: | Candidates eager or desperate for a job and companies eager or desperate to hire them can result in lies or omissions on resumes that go undetected. Previous research suggests that at least one-quarter of all resumes contain lies or material omissions and that employers are often lax in checking resume data. A survey by the authors provides new details about who is apt to lie and what they are apt to lie about. Organizations need to develop policies to protect themselves, including more rigorous verification and unequivocal rules regarding the consequences of lying on an application. The paper also provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
