About the event
Fraudulent applicants are flooding hiring pipelines.
North Korean state actors are applying to your company right now, and your ATS is not catching them. Declan Cummings (Co-Founder and Head of Engineering, Cinder) shares how Cinder discovered 10,000 fraudulent applicants in its own pipeline, went from 6.5 hours per week of wasted recruiter time to 5 minutes, and built an AI agent to stop it cold.
Then Bridget Martin (Founding Recruiter, Cinder) discusses the downstream impact on recruiting teams, from application overload to growing distrust in technical hiring, and shares practical guidance for startups and candidates on how to stand out as legitimate in a market flooded with fraudulent applicants.
This event is part of NY Tech Week, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
