Do candidates ever embellish or exaggerate during the hiring process?

If you answered “YES” then the next question is; "What percentage do this?" Regardless of the percentage your job as the hiring manager is to validate what they told you in the interview is accurate and true. The fact is most references checking doesn’t even touch on this issue. We ask the normal questions; Would you hire them again? Do they communicate well? etc. This maybe fine but doesn’t address the main point which is, did they embellish or exaggerate?

This pad of 25 templates will help you get right to that issue. We specially designed the form to make sure you ask the right questions that validate what the candidate said in the interview is true and accurate. Don’t accept what the candidate tells you. You need to trust and verify.
