IMPERSONATION FRAUDThe originYes, video interviews are convenient and efficient. But these advantages come with a long list of limitations that dishonest people have exploited to their advantage. Companies have discovered, often far too late, that the person that joined the organisation is different from the one who attended the interview. Typically, this type of fraud is seen in large organisations where the interviewer is often different from the reporting manager. This is also more common in organizations with offices spread across the country with people joining in different cities at any point in time. Worrying factorsGenerally, an organisation wakes up to an incidence of this fraud when they realise a person is showing none of the skills required to perform on their job. When they dig deeper they realise that the person was rated highly on the same skills during the interview. Further digging deep-er makes them realise that a totally different person may have joined from the one that was interviewed. SolutionYou can prevent this fraud using a few APIs during the interview and when the candidate joins. At the start of the interview, the candidate should be asked to show their ID card. A screenshot of the ID card can be taken along with a picture of the candidate. OCR APIs can extract the ID card information and compare it with the application form to ensure that they match. Face Compare APIs can compare the picture of the candidate with the picture of the ID card to ensure they are of the same person. With this one can ensure that the person attending the interview is the one who applied for the job. When the person joins the company, Face Compare APIs can compare their picture with the picture of the candidate taken during the interview. With this one can make sure that the person joining is the same as the one who attended the interview. 3. ABSCONDING WITH COMPANY ASSETSThe originWith people joining their new jobs remotely, companies are sending assets to their homes. During these times, the person might continue working in the company without ever visiting their offices or meeting co-workers. Companies have reported that sometimes such a per-son simply vanishes into thin air. Emails go unanswered. The phone remains switched off. The home address ap-pears locked. Along with the person, what also vanishes are the assets that were sent by the company. Laptops and cell phones being the most common casualties. Worrying factors· Data theft: A person who steals company assets is most likely to also steal company data and trade se-crets. · Loss of corporate assets: The financial loss of these assets that can multiply if this becomes a more com-mon phenomenon. Solution Criminal record check - Most people committing this type of fraud are repeat offenders. A criminal records check that combines court records and police records is a must to prevent this fraud. However, this comes with limita-tions. Most police checks are done with the local police station only. This type of fraudster typically moves homes regularly, often in areas far away from each other. The local police station check may not prove conclusive. Everyone in the modern world is adopting tech-driv-en solutions to solve challenges posed by the pandem-ic. New methods of hiring and interviewing candidates are effective but they bring into picture newer types of employment fraud. The good part is that technology is available to solve problems created by these innova-tions. It would be fair to say that technology is keeping technology safe Everyone in the modern world is adopting tech-driven solutions to solve challenges posed by the pandemic
