Talent & Fraud in 2026: Challenges & Solutions

About this session

Did you know that 81% of FAANG interviews believe applicants are cheating? In fact, 1/3 of interviewers caught it directly while 48% of candidates admit to using unauthorized AI tools during interviews. Is this becoming a problem with your hiring? Join us for a forward-looking conversation with seasoned HR strategist Katy Peichert, a global talent leader known for shaping people-centric hiring practices and building high-impact talent teams in tech and beyond. Drawing on her extensive experience in strategic talent acquisition, employer branding, and leadership development, Katy will help HR leaders explore how emerging risks like candidate fraud intersect with opportunities to reimagine hiring for the future. In an era where AI is both an accelerator and a challenge, this session is designed to provoke fresh thinking about trust, agility, and HR’s evolving role in organizational success.

Plus, this talk will be eligible for SHRM credits also.

What you’ll take away:

  • Fraud & Talent Landscape 2026: Insight into how trends like AI-driven candidate deception and identity risk are reshaping the talent pipeline and what that means for your hiring strategy.
  • Strategic Opportunity Areas: Practical ideas for turning fraud-related challenges into advantages—strengthening candidate experience, employer brand, and process resilience.
  • Actionable HR Practices: Real-world approaches to secure hiring workflows, better verification, and people-first culture that supports both growth and integrity.
