The Hiring Fraud Epidemic: Deepfakes, Proxy Candidates & “Careerfishing”
Most hiring processes are built on one assumption: the person you interview is the person who shows up to work. That assumption no longer holds up the way it used to. Resumes are exaggerated more boldly. Interviews are sometimes given by someone other than the candidate. And video calls, the thing companies trust most, are […]
Why Leadership Hiring Is Getting Harder.
