I don't, except for trying to contact people at the job applicant's former workplace and ask "is this really what happened"? (I wouldn't do)

I'm thinking that as long as someone finishes projects you start, it's easy to take credit for all of it from start to finish, when interviewing elsewhere?

I’m not saying lie and I never have. But when you change jobs, you control the narrative.

At your current job, your history of both successes and failures are well known, even if the failures happened early on and you learned from them. You never get a second chance to make a first impression
