How does HR identify the resume of "water injection"?
According to experts' estimation, about 30% people will "inject water" into their resumes. ADP, located in New Jersey, USA, is a human resources service company. According to the company's 200 1 statistics, 44% of job seekers lied on their resumes. 4 1% people lied about their academic qualifications; Another 23% forged their credit records and related documents. "I don't think this kind of cheating will disappear." Jill Harold, president of the Employment Management Association, said this. "I think fierce competition and routine recognition make people think cheating in the workplace is acceptable-not only in interviews, but also in daily business." Helen Vicky, the chief operating officer of MC&B, holds the same view. Experts suggest that HR people should be alert to this phenomenon. "We are not suggesting that HR personnel assume that all job seekers are liars," said Lester Rosen, president of ESR Consulting. "But a bad employment decision will have a negative impact on the whole organization and bring legal and financial disputes to enterprises. From a small point of view, hiring a liar will increase the additional recruitment and training costs of replacing him in the future. What's worse: your company may face business losses and even legal proceedings. " Some lies are easy to see through, but apart from some obvious external features, it is very difficult to see through lies. Many human resources managers agree that "you can tell whether an applicant is lying by his speech and behavior", which is an unrealistic fantasy. Many experts believe that fidgeting, stuttering and avoiding eye contact are often just signs that a job seeker is nervous in an interview, but they don't mean that he is a liar. Real liars often don't have the above characteristics. "In fact, liars are just the opposite. They will be surprisingly calm and rarely have physical movements. " Daniel Fisher, president of Walker Management Consulting, who is also a psychologist, said this. "When people lie, they tend to slow down to concentrate on making up lies. At the same time, they rarely use body language and maintain eye contact. " According to Paul Aikman, a professor of psychology at the University of California, it is difficult for people to tell which is true and which is a lie by intuition, but most people often think they can tell. In years of research, Aikman has tested more than 6,000 people, including students, police, judges, lawyers, FBI and CIA agents. After his research, he found that 95% people judge whether a person's words are true or not on the basis of "guessing"-just like tossing a coin. Aikman advised human resources personnel: "Be cautious about your judgment based on behavior."
