Would you rather hire obvious liars or good liars? Everyone lies occasionally, or omits information. To believe otherwise is naive.

That's kind of an important thing to lie about (money and work related), I'd rather have someone not lying about anything at the very least on that subject.
Actually, I'm editing the comment. Even lying about anything is bad because you'll eventually start lying about something work related too. That's just how it is, whether it's a time table, some interaction you had with a customer where you don't quite paint the truth or anything else. Eventually it always impacts the real world. That's the thing about the word "lying", it's not so precise. You practically mixed "omitting information" and "lying" together even though they can be extremely different in quality, depending on intent, situation and much more.

> I’m quite suprised you are willing to hire people who you know are lying to you.
From what I understand, that's most job interviews. If someone has very little practical coding skills, but is a LeetCode ninja, then you get what you ask for, I guess.
I don't lie, but it also seems to make me unpopular. Fortunately, I don't need the work.
To me, someone like that has demonstrated that they can’t be trusted and I would remove them from the business ASAP.
You can fix a lot of things with an employee/employer relationship, but those things require trust. You just don’t ever know where you stand with someone who lies.
