According to some latest research, 1 in 10 men lie on their CVs.
BackgroundChecking.com quizzed almost 1,500 respondents and found that whilst 12% of men admitted to lying about their job title on their CV, just 7% of women did the same.
Likewise, more males were willing to exaggerate their educational qualifications, with 14% of men questioned admitting to falsifying this information on their CV and job application forms, whereas only 11% of women would do the same.
Avis Easteal, general manager at BackgroundChecking.com, said: "HR departments need to check every application thoroughly. If people believe they can get away with lying on their CV, then they will. There are serious implications for anyone who employs a person without checking their credentials, whether qualifications for the job, experience or even employment eligibility.
"For example, the recent introduction of the Immigration Act means that a company can be charged up to £10,000 or even face imprisonment if they employ someone who is not permitted to work in the UK."

More men admitted to fibbing on their CVs because at the heart of the problem, men are more honest than women.
It's a well known fact women lie more than men. Where as a guy might lie about where he was last night, a lady lies all0day, every day.
They wear high heels....They aren't that tall. They wear make-up....They don;t look like that, and don't even get me starteed on wonder bras!!
So there you have it. 7% of women didn't lie for a change!!
