Should I be saying yes if I'm asked by a recruiter if I have another offer or if I'm negotiating with another company, even when it's not true? Does this make me look more desirable?

Yes always tell the truth, thats leverage. When you make stuff up it gets sniffed right away.

If you’re later in the process and you need them to speed it up. Hopefully the interviewing team has had a chance to know they want you. If it’s before you’ve met anyone I would likely just say congrats knowing we can’t compete with timing and won’t rush a hiring decision. Role dependent but being pushy at the start is not great unless you know for fact they want you that bad
