Relying on a single check point to defend against candidate fraud leaves gaps. Application screening misses what happens in the interview. Background checks confirm documents, not the person on the call. And any one indicator you rely on today may have a short shelf life as tactics continue to improve and evade detection.
What works is layering: checks at multiple points, an escalation path recruiters can actually use, and a record of what happened along the way. The panel’s teams built out different processes, but the principle holds across all of them.
“What’s a flag? When does it become a signal? We need to stack multiple signals before we start making decisions.”
