As the remote hiring landscape continues to evolve, concerns about workforce identity fraud are on the rise. A recent survey found that 66% of HR professionals have seen an increase in suspicious or fraudulent remote-job applications over the past year, with 93% expressing concern about workers using deepfakes or AI to hide their identity. Furthermore, 34% of respondents reported that their existing identity checks are insufficient.
In response to these concerns, Deel has launched Deel Security, an end-to-end workforce security solution designed to protect companies from workforce identity fraud. This platform verifies the identity of job applicants from the initial application through employment, across more than 150 countries. The announcement comes on the heels of a warning from the FBI and ten other federal agencies that North Korean IT workers were using stolen and synthetic identities to obtain remote jobs, with over 300 US companies unknowingly hiring them using over 68 stolen identities.
