<p>Sami, what changes exactly do you suggest? My company verifies everything on a candidate’s resume-- but not until we are getting primed to making an offer. It’s too bad that so many people lie or inflate… but short of closing down our business to become full time private detectives, occasionally a candidate with a phony resume is going to get through the screening process and get an interview.</p>
<p>I chuckle at your use of the expression 'human resource drones". Would it were that easy. The resume reading technologies don’t verify college degrees; don’t catch spellcheck type errors; don’t realize when a candidate doesn’t know how to use a comma or an apostrophe. So if we are drones, at least we aren’t going to be replaced by a better software package any time soon.</p>
<p>My favorite are the people who apply and can’t spell the name of the company in their cover letter.</p>
