How to spot if a candidate is lying

How do you make sure your candidates are not lying on their CVs?

That question has become relevant after a CFO at the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs recently lost her job after it was revealed that she had been lying about her qualifications.

She had claimed that her Ukrainian college diploma was equivalent to a bachelor degree. In reality, it was only equivalent to a high school diploma with two years of undergraduate studies.

It took half a decade for her employers to find out the truth, which a more thorough check would have easily found, according to Brunella Flackett.
