I'd rather work with someone who's honest about how they operate than with someone who uses action as a verb.

I believe it's probably a typo. My guess is "act on" was intended.

Saying "action," purposely, as a verb like that is somewhat common. It's business-speak much like "leverage" as a verb, though that one's become so common as to go unnoticed.
