Fake Candidates in the Age of AI: Authenticity, trust and the rise of the fake candidate
One evening. Three experiences.
What if the “perfect candidate” you’re interviewing is actually fake? Would you know?
We’ve been using AI to make recruitment faster and more efficient, but now, candidates are using it too.
At Babel Profiles, we’ve already seen it first-hand, and we think it’s time to talk about it. Join our panel of experts with experience at companies like Spotify, Hosco, Porsche Digital, Adevinta, and Okta as we explore the rise of fake candidates, AI misuse, red flags to watch for, and how businesses can navigate these emerging risks.
