But what's the point of making innocent confess to false crimes in this setting? (i.e. requiring polygraph for job application)
I would imagine the entire point of doing a test would be to find out who is innocent and who is lying about being innocent. If you pressure the innocent into false confession, wouldn't it just make everything even more difficult?
- josefx 2y agoIn the context of a job application? Making up excuses to hide discrimination, maybe artificially limit the pool of applications to get around other hiring restrictions? Put the applicant on the back foot or make them share information they normally wouldn't? There are probably many ways to abuse it.
- powersnail 2y agoGood points. It never occurred to me that there are situations where recruiters intentionally try to remove legit applicants from the pool.
