(…) Companies have long fought off attacks from hackers hoping to exploit vulnerabilities in their software, employees or vendors. Now, another threat has emerged: Job candidates who aren’t who they say they are, wielding AI tools to fabricate photo IDs, generate employment histories and provide answers during interviews.
The rise of AI-generated profiles means that by 2028 globally 1 in 4 job candidates will be fake, according to research and advisory firm Gartner.
The risk to a company from bringing on a fake job seeker can vary, depending on the person’s intentions. Once hired, the impostor can install malware to demand ransom from a company, or steal its customer data, trade secrets or funds, according to Balasubramaniyan. In many cases, the deceitful employees are simply collecting a salary that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to, he said.
Sad to see 4+ ITT agree with your oppressors.
Companies should be hiring and training pro bono, like they did 7 decades ago. If in 3 months they don’t like you, they can fire you, “at-will.”
Ideally, you should be joining a cooperative, guild, and unionize. Let companies consult to you.
Feels like this is where it needs to head. This isn’t material different than going through a recruiting agency except those agency charges +20% of the starting salary.
The idea is the same though. People form relationships with the third party group and the third party group puts their reputation on the line when suggesting candidates.
