Are you irked with job interview lies too??
There is an instinct to sugarcoat skills and achievements to present oneself in a positive light. Ideally, they try to hide their weaknesses and exhibit accomplishments. This unrealistic portrayal helps an individual make lasting impressions. It is normal…
In fact, 88.6% of lies in a day are described as ‘little white lies'. But, all of this, while seemingly normal, can cause a serious debacle in the professional space.
Hiring can be lengthy, time-consuming, and even irritating at times. But, it should never be prejudiced.
LinkedIn's findings show that 49% of candidates turn their backs on the organization if they experience biased judgments and poor recruitment practices. And, as an HR professional, you would certainly not want to lose a good candidate to irrational human biases or job interview lies.

Digital Proctors: What Is 21st Century Invigilation?
In the 21st century, applicants and employees expect remote hiring and working facilities. An organization that does not live up to these expectations, experiences early attrition. For instance, news headlines about White Hat Jr highlight how employees have grown fond of working from home in the post-pandemic era.
While attending an online course or exam, students often take these systems for granted. Similarly, employees and potential employees, too, indulge in conscious careless conduct when there is nobody to monitor them during an exam. This behavior is stimulated by the context, or ‘coupled' with the situation, and hence is termed coupling theory
But coming back to the real question… Is remote invigilation possible? The answer is YES.
Many hiring assessments, these days, make use of proctoring technologies to ensure that online tests are cheating-proof. The proctors monitor the candidates' activity throughout the exam and record any misconduct performed.
The remote proctoring system enables HR professionals to digitally invigilate through:
- Noise Detection
- Snapshots
- Browser Switch Detection
- Face Verification
Lie Detectors: How To Know If Your Candidate Is Lying In A Job Interview?
Padding the Resume is a common deception tactic, often used to make a good first impression. According to Indeed, at least 40% of candidates lie or exaggerate self profile on their resume. A screening Cover Letter is a hiring practice that can be easily manipulated by the candidates.
If you are still one of the traditional hiring practitioners, you may have already mis-hired many candidates!
The Resume cover page of applicants is designed to grab attention during the very first glimpse. Beware of the candidates' tendencies to respond in a socially desirable manner. This causes a continual attempt to make a good, lasting, first impression. It will facilitate an applicant to act by your expectations.
The phenomenon is explained by the impression management theory of Goffman.
To prevent a first impression bias in hiring, you can now avail the latest HR tech options that save you from job interview lies. Hiring tools such as psychometric assessments with lie detecting scales can help you filter genuine responses of the candidates. This will ultimately lead to efficient hiring!
The 3 best lie scales incorporated into PMaps' assessments are;
- Impression Management Scale
