Employment fraud is becoming more sophisticated and more difficult to detect. In this episode of Cooperatively Speaking, Allison Lambert from E&I sits down with Jim Desmond, Chief Information Security Officer at HireRight, to discuss how workforce risk is evolving and why educational institutions can no longer afford to take candidates at face value.

From identity and credential fraud to emerging workforce threats, Jim shares practical insights on what institutions need to know, how the risks are changing, and why "Verify Before Trust" is becoming a critical part of modern hiring strategies.

Whether you're involved in HR, procurement, finance, IT, compliance, or institutional leadership, this conversation will help you better understand the risks associated with fraudulent hires and how to build a stronger, more secure workforce.

Listen now to learn how your institution can protect its people, reputation, and mission from today's evolving workforce risks.
