The Insider Threat You Just Hired: Candidate Fraud as a Security Problem

Candidate fraud isn’t just fake applications and misleading resumes. It shows up in the interview itself, where impersonation, deepfakes, and AI-assisted answers are harder to catch. That makes it a security problem as much as a talent one.

A fraudulent hire isn’t just a bad hiring decision; it’s an insider threat with real credentials and real system access.. And it’s already widespread: 41% of IT and security leaders say their company has already hired a fraudulent candidate.

Join us for a fireside chat with Jonathan Ramirez, Senior Intelligence Analyst at Zoom, and Stacy Zapar, Founder of Fraud Squad, hosted by Ben Sesser, Co-founder and CEO at BrightHire, on where candidate fraud actually shows up, what it puts at risk, and what a defensible response looks like for hiring and security teams alike.
