A new survey found that a strikingly high percentage of recent job seekers admit to either lying or cheating in some way during the hiring process. An expert weighs in on the trend.
From little white lies to outright whoppers or sneaking answers for assessments, most recent job seekers admit they have used dishonest tactics before in order to land a gig. And some say they use such methods every time. That's according to a new study from ResumeTemplates.com, which found seven out of ten people who applied for jobs within the past two years acknowledged either lying or cheating in some way during a hiring process.
While 29% of those surveyed said they had never cheated during a hiring process, 15% confess to always or often doing so, while 20% admitted to bending the rules on occasion. Thirty-five percent said they "rarely" engage in such behaviors. Of the folks who acknowledged cheating on assessments, 71% admitted Googling answers when it was not allowed, 37% utilized artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT when it was prohibited, and 33% sought out assistance from others.
