Why Identity Verification is Becoming a Critical Part of Hiring

Image
For most organizations, the biggest hiring challenge is finding the right talent. Today, teams must face a larger challenge: determining whether the person moving through the hiring process is who they claim to be. According to Gartner, by 2028, one in four candidate profiles globally will be fake. Minor resume exaggerations used to be the only concern for hiring teams.
