How to Stop Hiring Fraud Before It Starts: Secure Your Interviews with Polyguard
Polyguard provides strong biometric identity verification for every candidate, in every meeting.
The Rising Threat of Remote Hiring Fraud
Remote work has revolutionized hiring, but it has also opened the door to sophisticated fraud. Recent investigations reveal that North Korean IT operatives are infiltrating Western companies by posing as legitimate remote workers. These individuals use stolen identities, AI-generated resumes, and deepfake technology to secure positions, funnelling earnings to support illicit activities, including weapons programs.
Compliance Risks: Hiring individuals linked to sanctioned entities can result in violations of international laws and regulations.
Security Breaches: Imposters have been known to steal sensitive data and, in some cases, attempt to extort companies after termination.
Reputational Damage: Being associated with such breaches can erode client trust and damage brand integrity.
Traditional Verification Methods Are Failing
Standard hiring practices—relying on resumes, interviews, and basic background checks—are no longer sufficient. Fraudsters employ advanced tactics:
Deepfakes: AI-generated videos and voices that can deceive even seasoned interviewers.
Proxy Interviews: Using stand-ins or manipulated video feeds to pass interviews.
Fabricated Credentials: Crafting entire professional histories that appear legitimate on paper and online.
These methods have enabled imposters to bypass traditional screening, leading to significant security and compliance issues.
