What's the difference between regular background checks and device fingerprinting for hiring?

Traditional background checks verify information provided by applicants, which can be completely fabricated by sophisticated fraudsters who create entire false identities and happen after the interview process. At this point your business would have spent hours assessing the candidate and wasting resources. Device fingerprinting, however, analyzes the actual technical environment where the application is submitted. Revealing whether it comes from a legitimate personal device or a suspicious setup like a virtual machine or bot. Security is all about layering so using device level fingerprinting on the job application in combination with rigorous steps to validate the candidate throughout the process is advised.
