What would you do if you were in the process of hiring someone but found out they lied about some things on their resume? Would you simply rescind the offer? Or would you talk to them straight on about it and see what their answer is and go from there?

Depending on what they lied about

Depends what they lied about. If it was possible there was a misunderstanding, rather than a lie, I would talk to them straight on to see what their answer is.

I had this happen. The lie was so egregious we didn’t proceed, though we didn’t have a formal offer out. That said, we would have rescinded. In our case it was a blatant lie that was easy to identify due to, get this, a lawsuit the candidate filed.
