Strider Technologies Unveils Innovations in Resume Screening
In the modern era where cybersecurity threats are rampant, Strider Technologies, Inc. has taken a bold step forward in enhancing recruitment practices. On May 15, 2025, the leading provider of strategic intelligence announced the introduction of its innovative feature known as
Falsified Resume Screening. This cutting-edge tool is designed to proactively vet the identities of applicants from overseas, thus minimizing internal risks and shielding companies from unintentionally hiring individuals with ties to hostile state actors like North Korea.
According to
Greg Levesque, CEO and co-founder of Strider, failing to combat fraudulent hiring can lead companies to face severe consequences such as significant financial losses, intellectual property theft, data breaches, and damaged reputations. He emphasized that the risks are particularly increased when hiring from countries like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). “Government entities can alert companies about these threats, but decision-makers often need to devise their own strategies to protect their workforce. Strider’s new screening function addresses this challenge by combining advanced analytical technology with a customer-centric approach to safeguard vulnerable positions and ensure employee loyalty,” explained Levesque.
Strider's commitment comes at a time when fraudulent remote workers are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to bypass hiring barriers. The intelligent solution provided by Strider automates the resume verification process, thus offering human resources and security teams a reliable and scalable way to screen applicants without excessive manual effort.
Key Features of Falsified Resume Screening
- - Automated Resume Verification: Utilizing a variety of data signals—including emails, phone numbers, employment histories, and proprietary data signals—Strider can identify hidden connections, inconsistencies, and fraud indicators within applicant profiles.
- - Proactive Threat Detection: Backed by Strider’s geopolitical and intelligence expertise, the feature is continuously updated to stay a step ahead of evolving threat patterns and fraudulent actors' methods.
- - Flexible Applications: Customers can currently upload resumes directly via the Strider platform for immediate checks. Future updates will include integration capabilities with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and other HR technologies, creating customizable workflows tailored to each company's hiring process.
The launch of the Falsified Resume Screening functionality follows the release of Strider's report titled
