1.00 SHRM PDCs | Competencies: HR Expertise | Intended Audience: Mid-Level
Workplace Application:
Learn skills for spotting signs of deception and truthfulness when interviewing applicants and investigating misconduct. 

HR professionals need to be able to spot deception when they conduct investigations and interview and hire applicants. Most of us are extremely poor at this because we rely on inaccurate stereotypes about how people behave when they lie (such as the mistaken belief that liars are fidgety and don't look you in the eye). Through videos and case studies, you’ll learn scientifically validated methods for spotting signs of deception and truthfulness, which you can apply in your everyday work life. This engaging and interactive session is presented by a former U.S. Department of Justice attorney.

Learning Objectives:

  • Which signs of deception are valid and which are based on myth.
  • Verbal and non-verbal cues.
  • How to spot signs of deception and truthfulness when conducting investigations and interviewing and hiring applicants.
