Fake Job Seekers Are Real!

• Companies are facing a new threat: Job seekers who aren’t who they say they are, using AI tools to fabricate photo IDs, generate employment histories and provide answers during interviews.

• The rise of AI-generated profiles means that by 2028 globally 1 in 4 job candidates will be fake, according to research and advisory firm Gartner.

• Once hired, an impostor can install malware to demand a ransom from a company, or steal its customer data, trade secrets or funds.
