@realisticrecruiting: Candidate fraud continues to be the biggest issue Receuiters and hr teams are facing in hiring, especially remote roles, and it is going to have a huge effect on jobseekers as companies find ways to combat it. This isn’t some “poor hr” story, this is a real global issue making the jobsearch harder for everyone. #jobsearchtips #jobsearching #recruiting
who is faking these applications? is it individuals? conglomerates? how do they benefit?

I applied to over 100 jobs. I’ve been known in my industry for over 20 years. I’m closing a conference this week as a speaker. Written books, etc. Not a single response from any job applied for. It’s deeper. And it’s a problem.

Is it a fake candidate or are you just getting ghosted after they find out how low you think a “competitive salary” is?

Will you provide some advice on standing out as a candidate in the hiring process, resume formatting and content, or job board recommendations?

OK, hear me out… Do we need to go back to the way that people used to apply for jobs? Walking into a building and laying down a paper résumé and introducing yourself? Maybe companies need to have a trained person at the front desk who is available and ready to accept applications in that manner?

Do you think this is some AI training? Some company is training AI to get through the ATS to create a service for jobseekers?

I got laid off two months ago. I cried for days just because the prospect of going back into LinkedIn, etc., crushed my soul

I think the ATS vetting is also an issue that’s being ignored

My company just changed hiring policies to fight this. They moved up having the in-person meeting earlier in the process and have HR partners do ID checks.

but then arent the fake jobs hurting more people since those who are applying and interviewing are the ones who need money or employment. and the fake postings or those intended to hire from within are a waste of time

Could it be all these AI submitted resumes that people send out automatically on a loop and when you reach out they’ve already found another job or have moved on?

What do you think someone as a candidate, upfront can do to signal they aren't fake? Like anyone can put together a resume and a LinkedIn profile, but what can real people do to stand out when applying?

In case y'all didn't know, there are people that run employment groups that also offer to do applications, Internet speed tests, assessments and personality tests for you, at a cost of course. More employers are having to use tools and methods to ensure the applicant is the one completing the process.

Do you think the manual approach of mailing a resume and cover letter would be received positively by a recruiter/hiering manager?

How about you guys actually talk to people and get a feel for them instead of making us jump through an ATS nightmare.

This is why you screen the candidate and create a control to validate their work experience and education.

So I agree this, if true, is a real problem for companies and HR. What do real applicants do to stand out or improve chances?
