With an overwhelming majority of software engineers expressing a preference for remote work, it's no wonder that more employers are making commitments to expand their remote workforces.

Some employers jumping into remote hiring aren't aware of the challenges in auditioning their software engineers remotely.

The most successful assessment platforms usually apply a two-pronged approach by mixing and matching fraud mitigation with fraud detection.

Finally, the monitoring of connectivity patterns for changes of the test taker's IP address, in-test device switching, switching of IP address to addresses previously associated with fraud, patterns suggesting session handover, and so on, prove to be a good source of signal on fraud and best testing platform flag their occurrences.

As with every fraud detection technology, the platforms are not able to tell cheaters from non-cheaters with certainty, they merely help to assess the probability of fraud being committed.

Recruitment fraud, just like credit card fraud, is committed by a fraction of the population.
