Frauds in the workplace can lead to significant financial, operational, and reputational damages for organizations, which makes thorough pre-employment screening a critical component of the hiring process. With the increase in job applications submitted online, there is a growing risk of identity fraud. People may provide fake credentials, falsify their resumes, or even steal another person's identity to secure employment. According to the report of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc., in 2022, 39% of employees concealed thefts by creating fraudulent physical documents, 32% by altering physical documents, 28% by creating fraudulent electronic documents, 25% by changing electronic records, and 23% by destroying or withholding physical documents. Screening services perform critical identity verification checks to ensure that the candidate is who they claim to be.
