Totally agree. In the years I've been a hiring manager I've never lied or misrepresented anything about my company or team to potential hires.
To be honest, I don't understand why any competent manager would lie; any high-performing individual you hire is going to bounce as soon as they realize they've been lied to. Always be honest about the current state of your team and you'll get people who want to help you succeed.

Yeah, I don’t get it either. A recruiter I can see, although not condone: they’re motivated differently. But a manager? As a manager your career and livelihood are literally dependent on the people you hire. Why start that off in such a shitty way?
