Are fake candidates on the rise in 2025?
The rise of AI has made fake job applications more sophisticated than ever. In this episode, I’m joined by former FAANG recruiter, Stefanie Fackrell to discuss the rising challenge of candidate catfishing. Discover how AI tools, fake profiles, and interview fraud are impacting hiring teams.
But instead of focusing on aggressive verification tactics that can harm diversity efforts, discover how to build genuine candidate relationships while protecting your hiring process. Learn why traditional screening methods are failing and get actionable strategies that work without compromising inclusive hiring practices.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- The "bot vs. bot" era of hiring: AI tools on both sides
- Real stories of sophisticated hiring scams and their consequences
- Impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts
- Building fraud-resistant hiring processes
- Balancing verification with candidate privacy
Perfect for recruiters, hiring managers, and TA leaders who want to stay ahead of this growing challenge.
