IT find new ways to spot fraud in virtual interviews

Indian information technology companies are coming up with innovative means to check fraud by prospective employees during online job interviews, as the virtual mode has become an alternative medium for recruiting post-pandemic.

Background verification firms have already been tasked with conducting pre-onboarding background checks and now are getting additional mandates from companies to streamline the interview processes as well. Major IT firms like Accenture had let go of some employees in India late last year due to submission of fake documents. Others too have reported a spike in such instances.
