Even thus, somebody might lie. Nothing is 100% reliable. Human make
mistakes. Automatic checking, besides very much cheap in resources,
realizes 100% right what it does.
That is true, but I don't think many people will tell an actual lie to
place a job ad.
Supposing they did so, the real job would conflict greatly with the
ad, in such a way that anyone applying for the job would be told about
it; and they would be quite likely to report it to us.
Using an automated system, they could easily just leave out some aspect,
fail to talk about it.
