Get To The Truth

Body language and careful probing can reveal if you are being told 'porkies' at interview!

  1. Qualifications - Check qualifications by asking to see the candidates original certificates.
  2. Gaps - Look out for periods on the CV that are not satisfactorily accounted for.
  3. Question Carefully - Probe your interviewee for areas where they seem hesitant or evasive.
  4. Body Language - Watch closely for subtle body language that could signal lying; such as scratching the face, shuffling, covering the mouth, evading eye contact.
  5. Voice - Listen to your candidates intonation; a raised tone of voice can indicate stress or even lying.
