Resume fraud was already a crisis. Iowa just made it a crime.

From July 1, House File 2337 makes it a crime to knowingly claim a false academic degree (simple misdemeanor) or a false professional or occupational license (aggravated misdemeanor under Iowa Code ยง714.11, up to 2 years and $8,540).

But the problem was here long before the law. 70% of workers admit to lying on a resume. 96% of fraudulent resumes are never caught.

Roughly $600M a year in cost to US employers. Gartner says 1 in 4 candidate profiles will be fake by 2028.

HF 2337 does not impose a verification duty on employers. It does not change FCRA adverse-action procedures, and it does not alter negligent hiring liability.

The exposure was already yours. The visibility just changed.

KRESS saw this coming. ResumeMatch flags resume discrepancies before they reach hiring managers. DocuProof verifies employment and education credentials. Every report logs what was searched, what was found, and the source.

Verification is still your job.

There are 94 federal court districts in the United States. Each one maintains its own criminal records, separate from the county and state courts most background check providers search.

Drug trafficking. Wire fraud. Bank robbery. Immigration violations. Kidnapping. Crimes on federal property. None of it appears in a standard county or state background check.

Most screening providers skip federal courts because the search requires manual review across each district and can't be fully automated. Faster turnaround, lower cost, but a real blind spot in the screening.

KRESS includes federal criminal searches in almost every package. 94 districts, manually reviewed, results in 24 hours.

Ask your provider whether they search all 94 federal court districts. The answer matters.

Today we pause to remember the men and women who gave everything in service to our country. To the fallen, and to the families who carry their loss, we are grateful beyond words.

To HR.

You're the one who picks up the phone at 8:47 pm on a Friday.
You hold the difficult conversations, you write the policy no one notices until it works.
You're often the only HR person in the room, in the building, in the company.
You don't get a press release when you save someone from a bad hire, or a thank-you when an audit is passed.

But the proof is everywhere: in the teams that work, the candidates who got a fair shot, and the people you've hired and developed.

On International HR Day (and the 364 other days too), we thank you!

A decade ago, candidate fraud meant a padded title or a stretched date.

Today it shows up in ways a traditional one-and-done check was never designed to catch, and the list keeps growing.

The fix isn't a bigger check, it's layers. Each one closes a gap the others can't reach.

Most background screening providers verify employment with a robocall.

When the previous employer hangs up (and they usually do), the provider tries twice more, then sends back a report marked "unable to verify."

That isn't a verified hire. That's a structural gap your provider stopped working on.

The fix is unglamorous. A person on the phone, calling at different times, working different contacts inside the same company, switching to email or fax when the line goes dead. That's how the verifications automation can't crack actually get completed.

KRESS automates what should be automated and keeps human judgment where it matters most. Every employment verification is handled by a US-based team member, not a dialer. No three-attempt limits. No "we tried" reports.

For nearly 30 years, ICE gave employers 10 business days to fix Form I-9 mistakes before fining them.

On March 16, that ended. 10+ categories of "technical errors" are now substantive violations. $288 to $2,861 per form.
