This week’s newsletter must be read in regard to a disturbing trend emerging in recent months.
In background checks on potential candidates conducted by a professional investigation firm, we are identifying a much higher level of embellishment and flat out lying about everything from position/title, results achieved, income and college education.
Most disturbing about this trend, is that these are people that have been in our industry for years and years. I would bet you know who they are…only problem is you know them as up standing high integrity individuals within our industry.
Maybe it is the current state of the economy (although I would tell you that good talent is in very strong demand) and these individuals feel they must stand out or maybe plain old insecurity or outright deception.
Know who you are hiring by utilizing detailed background checks, assessments that drill down into individual's drivers/behaviors, verify with references and put the gut feeling on the back burner.
