Hiring now checks that you are you.
Gartner predicts that by 2028, one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. In a 2025 Gartner survey of 3,000 candidates, 6% admitted to interview fraud. Gartner advises employers to check identity and authenticity at every stage of hiring, not only at the first screening.
For candidates, that means keeping details consistent across your resume, profile and ID, and knowing what each employer allows.
