Andrew McLeod, CEO of Certn (a global background screening company), joins Michael Grinich at HumanX 2026 to talk about how AI has supercharged employment fraud, and what companies are doing about it.

Key topics:
• How remote work opened the door to "clean ID scams" — where workers buy American identities on dark web marketplaces to land US remote jobs
• AI agents interviewing for software jobs with zero latency, virtually indistinguishable from a human
• The trick that catches them: asking candidates to show the outlet where their laptop is plugged in
• Why biometric verification (not just name + SSN) is now essential for distributed hiring
• The future of hiring: candidates listing their AI agents on resumes alongside their own skills
• Who owns the bots you build at work — and whether you can take them with you to your next job
• Identity verification beyond employment: dating apps, landlord/tenant, lending, and more
