We trust our systems to verify identity — but sometimes, you still need to go nose-to-nose.
We recently opened up two dev roles.
Posted on LinkedIn only. No ads, no recruiters.
170+ applicants in 24 hours.
Resumes looked sharp. Profiles impressive.
We thought, “Great.”
Then we said: “Interviews will be in person.”
Half vanished.
Sent a calendar link to book?
Another half gone.
By the time we got to face-to-face interviews, the noise had dropped off — and what was left? Real people. Real conversations. Real candidates.
Here’s the takeaway:
Even with the best ID systems — and we back ours at One Click Verify —
AI, fake accounts, and deepfakes are making it harder to know who you’re really talking to.
Sometimes, you’ve got to go back to basics:
Look them in the eye. Ask a question they didn’t script. See how they think.
Verification tech is essential.
But it’s not just about proving who someone says they are — it’s about proving who they are when the AI is switched off.
