You're reading: State Fiscal Service to perform recruiting using polygraph

Ukraine's State Fiscal Service will perform recruiting to its units only using polygraphs, and testing personnel for knowledge of tax, customs and anti-corruption legislation, service head Ihor Bilous has said at the Anti-Corruption Forum in Kyiv.

“Many applicants and employees will be offered to pass a test using a polygraph. This is the innovation we will practice and incidentally this is the best practice in many countries. It will allow the better selection of people and minimize the fiscal service’s employing persons with low moral features and negative characteristics,” he said.

He forecasts that the authority he controls will be fully equipped with the necessary number of polygraphs within one or two months.
