Lukasz Majewski – Financial Auditor

EIA, beyond my wildest dreams, have made learning the incredible science of understanding human behaviour, specifically the detection of deception and credibility possible, starting with their Diploma in Behaviour Analysis and Investigative Interviewing. As an Executive Recruiter for some of the largest brands globally, I’ve improved my capacity for detecting credibility in candidates who are often inclined to impression management during the hiring process. With a high percentage of candidate dishonesty during interviews and on resumes, using the EIA methodology, especially the tools of investigative interviewing, has greatly improved my selection accuracy. I’ve also learnt what not to do!
