I love The Haters passion, though, so I wanted to go down that road of the Top Recruiter Lies. ThereвЂ™s really no logic in addressing these folks, because many candidates lie and are actually employed, candidates lie because they just donвЂ™t want to tell the recruiter the truth (more on this later), and candidates lie because most candidates lie! The Haters also pointed out that Recruiters lie! To that charge I say вЂ“ вЂњYes, yes they do!вЂќ The Haters вЂ“ These folks assumed all вЂњcandidatesвЂќ were out of work people, and that they werenвЂ™t lying (or had to lie) to get a job.I got over 50 personal emails like this, which was cool, and made for a busy weekend. Job seekers вЂ“ Who honestly had one of these things I wrote about happen to them, who now understood that some recruiters might see these as lies and who wanted help in how they should address them.Recruiters вЂ“ Where about 99 percent agreed with the вЂњliesвЂќ and found it all funny.The 3 kinds of people who respondedД«asically, the comments on the post fell into three camps: LinkedInвЂ™s WhatвЂ™s Hot picked it up from TLNT (where it was titled How Candidates Lie, and the Best Lies They Always Seem to Tell), and in a little over eight hours, some 75,000 people read the post and left over 500 comments ( at TLNT)!Д¬ool for me, right? Well, letвЂ™s just say there were a вЂњfewвЂќ folks who didnвЂ™t agree with my post, so I took a bit of beating вЂ“ as did the Recruiting profession in general. So, last week I wrote a little HR blog post called Top Candidate Lies, and it got a rather large reaction.
