Candidate Verification
Stop candidate fraud and deepfake applicants in your recruiting process
Secure your hiring pipeline with real-time biometric candidate verification
Fraudsters, including deepfake-enabled actors and foreign operatives, are actively targeting companies by exploiting weak points in hiring processes.
How? By applying for jobs with fake resumes, synthetic identities, and stolen credentials.
⬤ Incode prevents fraudulent candidates from reaching the interview stage, helping reduce organizational risk, recruiting costs, and downstream disruption.
⬤ Our platform not only blocks bad actors early, it also accelerates hiring with a seamless candidate experience that reduces manual review and enables faster, more confident decision-making.
⬤ Adaptive biometric verification confirms each candidate’s real-world identity, giving recruiting teams confidence from initial application through Day 1 onboarding.
Why candidate fraud is the new insider threat
⬤ North Korean IT workers have infiltrated U.S. companies by posing as remote job candidates. Many were hired unknowingly by Fortune 500 firms and government contractors (Politico).
⬤ Over a six-year period, these operatives funneled more than $88 million to the DPRK through fraudulent employment schemes (DOJ).
⬤ In July 2022, the FBI issued a formal warning about the use of deepfakes and stolen credentials in remote job scams targeting sensitive sectors (FBI Alert).
⬤ By 2028, 1 in 4 candidate profiles is projected to be AI-generated or fake as generative tools become more accessible (Gartner).
⬤ Fraud rings are actively exploiting hiring pipelines that lack real-time identity verification.
Security risks during hiring
Why hiring without identity verification puts your business at risk
1.
Fake applicants get in
Burner emails, bots, and fake resumes bypass ATS filters.
Business impact
Wasted recruiter time and higher cost per hire.
2.
Background checks miss the real person
Criminal checks are useless if the ID belongs to someone else.
Business impact
Impostors can access payroll and sensitive systems.
3.
Deepfakes pass video interviews
AI-generated faces and voices fool basic video screens.
Business impact
Fake candidates get offers before detection.
4.
Proxies take technical interviews
A stand-in completes the interview, not the real hire.
Business impact
Wrong person hired, risking performance or insider threat.
5.
The person who shows up isn’t the one you interviewed
Devices and credentials are handed to the wrong individual.
Business impact
A completely unverified person gains access on Day 1.
