More than a third of remote applicants are fake, and Fortune 500 companies experienced a significant rise in hires from state-sponsored fraudulent actors last year. AI has turned the hiring funnel from a protective filter into an open gateway for bad actors. Checkr is building the identity layer for hiring to address this threat. As the leader of Checkr's Identity Risk solutions, you will set a new standard for trust in hiring by creating a system that validates identity seamlessly and frictionlessly.
