Hiring has become an identity problem.

Background checks miss all of these. Attesto catches them at the top of the funnel:

For Security

Close the identity gap at the point of entry. Flag fraudsters, proxy actors, and fabricated identities before they reach your systems — many current hiring-fraud cases are foreign actors planning cyber attacks.
