Skilled workers understand they need to have a resume in the modern business world. To not have one puts them at a personal disadvantage. It is best to view resume reviews as part of the overall employment process. Resumes are best used as a screening mechanism. Resumes are not legal documents.
Applicants can lie on resumes and face little repercussion legally.
The application form is a legal document. Make sure your new hire also fills out an application form and that it matches their resume. Anyone can write a resume. Anyone can hire someone else to write a resume. For these reasons be very careful when using resumes as a written test.
