BLOG: Incompetence or untrustworthiness – what is more?

In a new blog, Martin Krekáč, chairman and founding partner of Jenewein Group, asks readers to consider which characteristic is a bigger problem when hiring new people for key management positions – untrustworthiness or incompetence? In both cases, these are undesirable characteristics but they can be detected thanks to professional screening methods. Statistics also confirm the validity of their use: about 21% of applicants exaggerate their experience and 12% lie about their education. And what's worst, up to 43% of companies did not perform any Background Check during hiring!
