HR & Hiring

A dishonest hire costs far more than a bad quarter.

Credential fraud in hiring is a growing problem — degree mills, forged transcripts, and fabricated reference letters are readily available online. A fraudulent hire can expose your organisation to legal liability, reputational damage, and operational risk that far exceeds the cost of the recruitment process. Verify every document before the offer goes out.

The problem

What fraud looks like in hr & hiring

Forged degree certificates and diplomas

Degree mills produce convincing certificates complete with institutional seals, signatures, and security print. Embossed seal analysis, hologram plausibility, and font consistency checks distinguish genuine certificates from forgeries.

Altered transcripts and marksheets

Grade rows are edited, subjects added, or GPAs inflated on otherwise genuine academic records. Table structure integrity and row alignment analysis expose inserted or modified rows.

Fabricated reference and experience letters

Templated letters with swapped names, dates, and company details are a common fraud. Letterhead plausibility, signatory consistency, and generic vs specific language patterns are all analysed.
