Summary
Fraud is among the most common abuses of information technology. Defined as intentional deception to gain an unfair advantage, fraud is increasingly common in talent management, especially recruiting, and has only gotten worse with the easy availability of AI. For example, AI enables job applicants to misrepresent their qualifications by falsifying resumes and cover letters and tweaking them to match job descriptions. One study showed that the technology levels the playing field so much that companies are less likely to hire the most qualified candidates and more likely to choose the least qualified ones. It's a growing problem for HR departments and hiring managers. In this episode, we explore the types of HR-related fraud, the role technology plays and strategies organizations can use to minimize its impact. Featuring: Brian Sommer, Founder and President, TechVentive In today's episode, we'll also cover: How applicants use AI to cheat on tests. What technology vendors are doing to address fraud. Why holding focus groups with job seekers can improve the recruiting process and provide insight into how people use AI.
