How cheating can be discovered

According to the ResumeLab study, only 21% of people who lied on a résumé actually lose out on a job. But if a candidate is caught, the ATS identifies that person as a "do not hire".

How cheating can be discovered:

• Recruiters can read the “hidden” white fonts on a résumé by selecting all and changing the font to black.
• Hiring managers can search the candidate’s social media sites and find discrepancies.
• Cheating can be discovered during interviews.
• Companies hire independent firms to do background checks on new hires.
