Candidate verification: Stop fraud before it enters your workforce
Sophisticated fraudsters are now targeting the recruiting process. Whether it's a "fake" candidate built on synthetic data, an interviewee hiding behind a deepfake, or a candidate getting a friend to take their technical test, hiring teams are facing a fraud crisis.
Recruiters are now tasked with evaluating both a candidate's talent and the legitimacy of their identity. However, they shouldn't have to become fraud investigators to do their jobs well.
In this webinar, Persona breaks down what the candidate fraud landscape actually looks like in 2026 and demonstrates how identity verification can stop fraud before it enters your workforce.

WHAT WE COVER
→ Why Gartner's "1 in 4 candidates will be fake by 2028" stat may already be an undercount.
→ The two forces driving candidate fraud: remote work expanding the attack surface and generative AI lowering the barrier to fraud.
→ Why background checks, work authorization, and video interviews are no longer sufficient on their own.
→ How government ID and selfie verification answer the three questions that matter: Is this a real person? Is it the same person throughout the process? Am I allowed to hire them?
→ Where to introduce identity verification in your hiring funnel without disrupting the candidate experience
→ Live demo: Persona's Greenhouse and Zoom integration
