This book increases awareness of deception by providing information on:

• the nature, extent and consequences of deception
• reasons why candidates and selectors deceive one another
• ways of tackling deception
• suggestions on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of recruitment

Any practitioner involved in selecting staff in the now hugely competitive workplace will find this book an excellent guide to overcoming deception.
