In remote hiring, recruiters can no longer safely assume that the person answering the question is always the same person who applied. Gartner predicts that by 2028, one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake. In a 2025 survey of 3,000 job candidates, 6 percent admitted to interview fraud, either posing as someone else or having someone pose for them. Because the figure is self-reported, the true rate may be higher.
Most employers have responded by adding a checkpoint. An identity check at the door. A proctoring tool is attached to one assessment. A follow-up interview to confirm what the first one showed. Each of those treats fraud as a separate step in the process. ACHNET is making a different argument: that the check belongs within the evaluation itself.
