🎙️ Fighting Candidate Fraud in the Age of AI

In the latest episode of Hiring University, I sat down with Brian Vesce, Co-founder & CEO, and Vinda Souza, Chief Marketing Officer at RefAssured, for a fascinating (and slightly terrifying) discussion on one of the biggest challenges in today’s hiring landscape….candidate fraud.

We unpacked:

• How AI-generated resumes and automated screening have created an “AI stalemate” in recruiting, and how RefAssured can help!
• Why human judgment still matters more than ever, and how to re-center it in hiring
• The staggering impact of fabricated candidate profiles (yes, including North Korean operatives inside Fortune 500s)
• Why resumes might soon be obsolete, and what could replace them
• How RefAssured is building the “back of the baseball card for talent” with real, validated data

Brian and Vinda also share an honest look into the future of ethical AI in hiring, redeployment at scale, and how to bring authenticity back into the talent experience.

💡 One big takeaway: candidate integrity isn’t just a compliance issue for staffing firms; it’s a growth strategy!
