INTRODUCTION
A candidate came to the interview to work in your company. His speech is well delivered, curriculum vitae is great and in general he gives an impression of a professional. But appearances are deceptive, the Internet has plenty examples of «correct resumes», and behind the mask of a promising employee might be hiding an empty talker or a crook who has already been caught in stealing and dismissed in disgrace. And what if it is an agent of a competing company? And he will begin to give away confidential information?
Neither option can not be excluded. Security is one of the main factors determining the stability and competitiveness of any organization. In this sense, recruitment plays a key role. Who needs employees robbing a company, hustling behind their bosses’ backs and so on? The question is rhetorical, and the answer is simple – no one. But how to put a barrier in the way of such people? The task is not trivial.
Suppose a business is small, employees are few, and everyone knows each other for many years. Even in this case «surprises» from seemingly absolutely reliable employees are possible. Not to mention a large company. There are plenty of applicants for a good position, everyone has excellent resumes, everyone wants to demonstrate his or her strengths and hold back negative information. And so many people have things to hide: criminal biography, and, therefore, connections in the criminal world, addiction to drugs, alcohol, gaming addiction. The presence of large debts that one cannot succeed to pay off, a scandalous quit from previous work, and a lot more.
So, who is in front of us: an honest professional or a deft liar? The answer to this question can give technologies developed and widely used by the International Academy of Lie Research (IALR).
Our company has been present on the market for ten years. During these years, IALR carried out about 20,000 polygraph examinations (Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (PDD), took part in more than 500 actual investigations, and made 300 expert evaluations upon the request of investigative and judicial authorities. We provided more than a thousand psychological counselings, published 12 books and trained several thousand people. Our experts are often involved in television projects. And I am Martianova Lyudmila, the author of the book, a practicing profiler and polygraph examiner at the International Academy of Lie Research, and in this book I will share professional secrets and interesting stories from my colleagues and my own experience.
Of course, the work of a recruiter is not limited to identifying a liar. Before you take someone to work, especially in a responsible position, you need to make the most complete psychological portrait of the candidate. But everyone has weaknesses that are usually kept out of the public eye. Some people perform excellent results in a relaxed atmosphere, but they get lost in force majeure situations. The project deadlines are suddenly shifted, an acute shortage of time occurs – a familiar situation, isn’t it? In these case the ability to withstand stress comes to the fore.
Some can not find a common language with the customer simply because of insufficiently developed communication skills. Others are not able to resist the temptation to get illegal income at the expense of the company. And so on.
There is another layer of problems. They arise when a candidate fits all criteria except values. Imagine a young man graduated from a higher education institution, who wants to be a lawyer, defend the innocent and fight against injustice.
So at the interview he says: «I want to become a first-class lawyer under your guidance and fight for justice!». And in front of him sits an experienced man, who has a completely different view of the advocacy. «What? For justice? What are you talking about now? How will we earn money? ” If a young man does not want to move away from his creed, then these two people are out of the way.
Needless to say that some companies require adherence to strictly defined procedures. Other companies expect flexibility, if not absence of principles. Remember the joke about the accountant recruitment:
