Publisher's Synopsis

Selection is an important function in companies and many large organisations spend vast sums of money annually in dealing with candidates. This effort can be rendered useless by the deception employed by candidates. Conversely, candidates can find their attempts to gain employment frustrated by discovering that the reality of the position is not as described. This book increases awareness of deception by providing information on:

  • the nature, extent and consequences of deception
  • reasons why candidates and selectors deceive one another
  • ways of tackling deception
  • suggestions on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of recruitment
Any practitioner involved in selecting staff in the now hugely competitive workplace will find this book an excellent guide to overcoming deception.
