Do the recruiters lie?

Some of them - might lie.

I know that maybe it is not a good answer, but let’s admit that in some situations the recruiters have to lie.

Don’t blame them - the candidates also lie. But let’s see why recruiters do this:

  • Recruiters don’t have the entire image of a problem
  • Recruiters want too much to hire a candidate
  • Recruiters  are forced (by the client, by a manager) to present only some information
  • There is no training program or a Faculty to prepare enough a recruiter
  • Recruitment activity is very complex and sometimes you don’t have time to cover properly all the aspects of a process

What you can do as a candidate:

  • Start to be honest yourself
  • Take your information from more people (eg: the technical interviewer, some peers from the company, some reviews from online, some statistics)
  • Ask relevant and specific questions
  • Be attentive to recruiters reactions
  • Ask for a time to think about your decision

As a candidate be always strong prepared regarding your experience because this it the most powerful argument with any company. In this case, there can't be lies.
