It’s not the actions of a few when compared to the positive hire result. Typical ratios are 1 in 100 to 400 for an SDE position. If 2% of people lie, in both cases that’s a significant number of people relative to a positive hire event.
Firing people is not as easy as you think in many places. Also, managers are human. Accusing someone of lying and going through the termination process is mentally taxing!
If a simple screen takes twenty minutes of time, it’s rational to do. If people get offended and aren’t empathetic to why you’d do this, would you really want to be on a team with them?
