The meeting I was attending was all about digital hiring and hiring fraud – fascinating. A variety of experts revealed disturbing insights into new ways that our technological evolution is creating nightmares in the workplace. Clearly, Recruiter needed to tell these stories. With journalist Rachel Masker now on the case, and with the help of CiFAS, a not-for-profit membership association representing organisations from across the public, private and voluntary sectors which detects, deters and prevents fraud in society by harnessing technology, we present what we’ve found to you this issue.

Our news and feature stories on hiring fraud are ‘must reads’. A story that captured my imagination was the tale of an industrious professional operating from the UK who managed to hold down a second full-time role across the pond in North America at the same time. This ‘time theft’ was only discovered when the individual was the subject of a major article in a North American publication – and it was caught by colleagues in the UK. Amazing!

Let me also signpost you to a story about a new company for the recruitment industry that takes its name from a Japanese word for “enlightenment, awakening, comprehension and understanding”… Visit our news section for your own enlightenment!

Enjoy early summer!
