I hope you will be valuable to our company

The interview process has changed dramatically since the old days. It used to be personal right off the bat. You’d meet someone and assess their resume and experience and size them up based on their body language that told you if they were being honest. You could even ask them questions about their resume and watch eye movements to see if they are generating a lie or telling the truth. Now days people are keen to this fact and can beat it. So background checks are becoming a first step in the process. Better safe than sorry especially for big corporations.
