Congratulations, you will only hire liars. Which I think describes 90% of hiring these days.

No, that actually means they want a specific person, indeed not mentioned in the listing. When the right person applies, all those unsatisfiable requirements are suddenly ignored.

Indeed. If you insist on only hiring people who answer the question a certain way, don't be surprised when you hire a bunch of liars.
