🔒 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Hiring is one of the most exposed surfaces most companies have, and one of the least defended.

The industry has spent two decades hardening firewalls, network perimeters, and endpoint devices. The interview funnel, meanwhile, is still largely a resume, a Zoom link, and a handshake. In 2026, that gap has consequences.

📊 According to 2026 hiring industry research:

91% of US hiring managers have encountered AI-generated interview answers.
Only 19% are confident their current process would catch a fraudulent applicant.
Deepfake fraud attempts in hiring rose 1,300% between 2023 and 2024.
The FBI is currently prosecuting US-based facilitators of a foreign IT worker scheme that has generated an estimated $2.8 billion by placing fake candidates inside real companies.

🛡️ If your security team would never accept "we just kind of trust the traffic" as a firewall policy, hiring probably deserves the same rigor.

Today we are celebrating Lacy Whitman's 8th Tewsiversary! Lacy serves as our Payroll & Benefits Coordinator, where she brings care, precision, and a steady presence to the work that keeps our team and our candidates supported behind the scenes.

For nearly a decade, Lacy has been the person our candidates, clients, and Tews family turn to when they need something handled well. It is the kind of role that does not always show up in the highlight reel, and the kind of role that everything else depends on.

Lacy, thank you for 8 incredible years.

Happy Tewsiversary!

AI can fake a resume. It can fake credentials. It can, increasingly, fake an interview.

What it cannot fake is how a candidate actually shows up in the work.

Behavioral fit, the way a candidate makes decisions, responds to pressure, communicates with a team, adapts to change, is the part of hiring a good manager reads instinctively and a great process surfaces deliberately.

Beyond the Resume is the Tews framework for that. It is how our recruiters look past what a candidate claims and into how they actually operate.

In a hiring environment where identity fraud, resume fraud, and interview fraud are now measurable industry challenges, behavioral evidence is the layer AI cannot replicate at scale. It is also the layer that predicts whether a hire will stay past 90 days.

The verification technology matters. What matters more is the reason we invested in it.

Every placement is a bet made by a hiring manager on a stranger. The candidate's resume is a claim. The interview is a claim. The references are claims. Until the person actually shows up on Day 1, everything the client knows is what someone told them.

Staffing has always been about narrowing the gap between claim and reality. In 2026, that gap has widened. AI has made it easier to falsify what a candidate says, shows, and demonstrates. The responsibility to protect the client from that gap has to sit somewhere.

We think it sits with us.

Not because we are the only firm with verification tools. Because a Tews placement carries a promise: the person we send is the person you interviewed, the person the resume describes, and the person capable of doing the work.

If that promise is the thing we are built on, we owe our clients the technology, discipline, and process that make it real.

That is why we invested in what we invested in.

When the industry says "candidate verification," most firms mean a background check.

That is not what we mean.

Tews has invested in the leading identity verification technology available to staffing firms in 2026. Our platform tests 1,000 data points to confirm a candidate is who they claim to be, in real time, before they ever meet our client.

What that catches:

Fraudulent identity documents. Manipulated IDs, stolen identities, and reused credentials that show up increasingly often in remote-hire pipelines.

Deepfake video interviews. Live identity match against biometric verification, not just visual confirmation.

Proxy candidates. Confirmation that the person taking the interview is the person applying for the role.

Coordinated fraud schemes. Location, device, and behavioral signals that identify patterns consistent with organized fraud, including the FBI-flagged North Korean IT worker scheme now sentencing US facilitators in 2026.

For hiring managers doing remote or hybrid hiring in Accounting & Finance, Technology, Human Resources, Corporate Services, and Non-Clinical Healthcare, this is the layer that sits behind every placement we make. It is not something you have to ask for. It is how we operate.

If your firm is running remote hires without this layer of protection, we should talk: https://tewscompany.com/contact-us/

The state of AI hiring fraud, in 2026 numbers:

38.5% of candidates were flagged for AI-cheating behavior across 19,368 tracked interviews between July 2025 and January 2026. That rate tripled in three months.

Deepfake fraud attempts in hiring rose 1,300% between 2023 and 2024.

72% of recruiting leaders are now conducting in-person interviews specifically to combat fraud. Google and McKinsey have reintroduced mandatory in-person interviews at scale.

Gartner projects that by 2028, one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake.

For the hiring managers we work with, the practical question is not whether AI hiring fraud will show up in your pipeline. It already has, whether it has been caught or not. The question is what verification is running before the offer goes out.

More on how we are addressing this next week.

91% of US hiring managers have encountered AI-generated interview answers.

Only 19% are confident their current process would catch a fraudulent applicant.

Those two numbers come from separate 2026 industry studies, and together they describe a hiring reality most companies have not yet caught up to. The candidate on your Zoom interview may not be the person you are about to hire.

The categories of fraud showing up across the industry:

Resume fraud, at scale. AI tools generate resumes tailored to specific job descriptions with plausible metrics and formatting that passes ATS screening. 63% of fraudulent applicants pass ATS filters undetected.

Deepfake candidates. Palo Alto Networks found it takes 70 minutes for someone with zero image manipulation experience to create a fake candidate capable of passing a video interview.

Proxy interviews. Someone else attends the interview on the candidate's behalf. The actual hire shows up on Day 1.

State-sponsored fraud at scale. The FBI has publicly warned about North Korean IT worker schemes that generated an estimated 2.8 billion dollars by placing fake candidates in real US companies. Eight US-based facilitators have been sentenced in 2026 alone.

None of this is theoretical. It is the current baseline of what hiring verification has to catch.

More on how we are addressing it this week.

Today we are celebrating the growth of three leaders who have shaped this firm for years, and who will shape what it becomes next! 🎉

Robin Elkins is now our Chief Revenue Officer. More than fifteen years in staffing built the strategic relationships, operational depth, and team leadership Robin brings to this role every day. Her judgment has made TEWS sharper. Her partnership with clients has made them better served. This next chapter is one she has earned!

Jacob Fessler is now our Vice President of Professional Services. Since 2008, Jacob has led our Technology division through every version of the market this industry has thrown at us. His steady hand, depth of expertise, and genuine care for clients and candidates alike are special. Expanding his leadership to Professional Services is a natural next step!

Whitney Saylor is now our Vice President of Corporate Services. Twenty-two years in, Whitney continues to define what long-tenured leadership at TEWS looks like. Her relationships across HR, admin, and executive support are the connective tissue of our firm, and the reason so many of our client partnerships endure across years and companies.

Robin, Jacob, Whitney: thank you for the work, the leadership, and the years. We are lucky to move into this next chapter with you. 💚🌱
