New research reveals 42% of applicants deliberately lie to prospective employers – embellishing a CV is not a little white lie.

Human resources technology company Xref has inked a new partnership agreement with online recruitment technology company, Expr3ss!, to combine applicant selection and employee reference checks.

It can be tempting to embellish qualifiations or achivements when applying for a job. According to recruitment site Monster at least 30% of people significantly lie on their CV, creating a nightmare for recruiters to verify details. It also creates a web of deceit that can come back to bite the candidate later.
