Abstract
Existing literature determines that faking occurs within employment interviews but

has not yet focused on patterns among faking behaviors. Furthermore, extant

research has stated that recruiters, in general, are poor at detecting faking without

emphasizing how they try to cope with it. Hence, we were triggered to explore both

gaps. Through semi-structured interviews, we have managed to explore real-life

cases, and identified four main patterns of interview faking detected by recruiters:

(1) Education Boosting, (2) Work Experience Boosting, (3) Other-Intentional

Motivation, and (4) Personality Adjustment. Within each of the four patterns, we

found some degree of coping strategies conducted by the recruiters. However, we

observed that companies generally have few strategies to cope with interview

faking. For instance, our findings show that strategies to cope with three out of four

faking patterns were poorly used as most cases were detected by coincidence.
