The exact change

Before

"The best negotiating position is when you know which company you actually want to join..." - Hiring manager and career mentor | "I've had candidates lie about competing offers. I can usually tell. It destroys the relationship immediately..." - Head of Talent, technology company

After

The best negotiating position is when you know which company you actually want to join... | Hiring managers and recruiters can often tell when a candidate is lying about competing offers, and it tends to destroy the relationship immediately...

Suggested change

De-attributed both quotes to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claims.

Why this is better

De-attributed two anonymous unverified quotes (attributed to unverifiable 'Hiring manager and career mentor' and 'Head of Talent, technology company') to plain unattributed prose while preserving the underlying claims.
