Recruiters spill the beans on candidates’ worst CV lies

Ever jumped out of the window to escape the porkies you’ve told on your CV catching up with you at interview?

This actually happened with one of the candidates put forward for interview by a consultant Recruiter spoke to this week. Recruiter revealed earlier this week, the English claim to be the most honest UK candidates at interview.
