I wouldn't go that far. My last job had someone apply that blatantly lied on their resume. Had we just hired on vibes or a trial basis, it would have been awful for what was then a tiny business with a very narrow runway.

I 100% understand that. Sometimes though, you just gotta hit the button. You can't be everywhere, so go with your gut, take small measured chances on people, keep the ones that help things, be prepared to part with the ones who don't, but always keep in mind that it's a human on the other side of the table, either way.
Business ain't worth losing your humanity for. But there's damn well people out there more than happy to do just that. I can't give you the secret to picking those types out. Experience, sadly, is the incomparable teacher in that department. Be prepared to land on your face a few times getting it.
