One time, I sent in a question to a panel of anonymous recruiters asking if they could tell that a quantitative number in someone's resume bullet points was bullshit, and if they even cared.
The only responses I got out of that were "generally we can tell if you're embellishing, and the hiring manager can probably tell, so don't lie!" without much further deliberation.
I was hoping that the anonymity would grant them the ability to say the quiet part out loud, but I guess I shouldn't have expected much.
