- Report the complaints AI helps candidates deceive employers faster than obsolete hiring systems can detect
- Managers report major hiring losses and increasing concerns concerning the fraud of AI applicants
- Employers react with training, updated protocols and multilayer protections
A new report suggests that AI transforms hiring practices in a way that can expose businesses at risk more difficult to identify.
The study by the history verification platform questioned managers in a range of industries to better understand the rise of candidates’ deception.
The results suggest that hiring becomes more and more sensitive to fraud, and that technology gives job seekers that are often more advanced than the systems used by employers to detect them.
Better to simulate their identity
Only 19% of the managers interviewed said they were convinced that their hiring process could catch a fraudulent applicant.
Nearly two thirds thought that the candidates were now better to simulate their identity with AI than employers to locate them.
Among the tactics that worry the managers most, 59% said they had suspected candidates for using AI to deform, while 31% said they had interviewed someone who later revealed a false identity.
More than a third party said that another person had appeared in the place of a candidate during an interview.
The concerns extend beyond job errors. 60% of managers said they had surprised the candidates who distorted their experience or their qualifications.
Almost one in four managers said their companies had lost more than $ 50,000 in the past year due to fraudulent recruits, with a losses of ten out of $ 100,000.
In some good news, despite all the risks, the report shows that many employers are starting to adapt to different problems.
Almost two -thirds of the respondents said their organizations have updated job protocols in the past year to deal with IA identity and fraud, and more than 60% said that HR teams had received a training in red flags during the hiring process.
Regarding the strengthening of defenses, 36% favored verification in person, 31% stressed the IA fraud detection software and 24% have opted for stronger history checks.
The survey indicates that employers are moving towards multilayer protection rather than relying on a single backup.
They will have to balance the speed of recruitment with the need to verify authenticity, and it will be far from easy.
