Deception in Selection

'Deception in Selection delves into its examination with both broad perspective and focused inquiry. Long before coining the Liars Index(R) concept, I became progressively alert to the degree of deception imbedded in the process of employment selection. In a career spanning both corporate and consulting selection experiences, I have stumbled enough along the way that I have applied increasing discipline to the process, both in my own work and that of my clients. The often undetected risk is in missing a candidate's self-deception...where an honest falsehood results from one's inaccurate sense of who they truly are. Digging into this book can help both screener and candidate in keeping each other honest.' Jude Werra CMC, Jude M. Werra & Associates, LLC 'Deception in Selection is an entertaining, insightful, and brilliantly researched book that will help companies save millions by showing them how to weed out the liars, fakes and frauds and how to only hire the very best.' Max Stirner, author of Fake Resume: The Machiavellian Guide to Getting the Job and creator of FakeResume.com 'Max Eggert has done it again! Few people are able to write both highly accessible and well referenced books as well as Max. There is an increasing interest in the dark side of behaviour at work and this book focuses on that most important of topics: selection. This book is not only a very interesting read, but also one that will be of profound use to practitioners.' Adrian Furnham, University College, London, UK 'Deception in Selection has plenty of fun as it explains why liars lie and, more importantly, how to spot them, taking in visual, verbal and vocal clues in admirably exhaustive detail.'
