When Experience Becomes Fiction: Can We Still Trust Candidate Stories?

Behavioural interviews, competency frameworks and reference checks are designed to uncover the truth. But what happens when the story itself is fiction?In this episode, Edan Haddock explores one of recruitment's most uncomfortable questions. Can candidates bluff their way through modern hiring processes? Where is the line between selling yourself and inventing achievements? And if references are chosen by the candidate, how much validation is actually possible?This episode looks at confidence, credibility and why recruitment may need to move beyond simply asking candidates to tell us what they've done. 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes.
