According to Zippia, 78% of candidates misrepresent themselves at some point during the hiring process.

We discuss the differences between pre-employment screening in Canada versus the US, the varying changes that have begun to arise due to Covid-19, social media screening, their newest AI product—Identity Verification Checks, and much more.
