Check a Remote Candidate for Fraud
Identity-verification protocol for remote engineering hires (fake candidates, stand-ins, North Korean IT worker schemes per FBI guidance) and a red-flag log for a specific candidate. Same checks for every finalist; never based on origin or accent.

What it produces
- A risk tier based on what the hire touches in week one.
- The money rules, including why paying a sanctioned worker is a legal risk.
- A stage-by-stage protocol (application to day 30) with who does each check and when, the same for every finalist.
- A red-flag log: each observation as a dated fact, rated Strong, Moderate or not a signal, with the step that would clear or confirm it.
- A "dropped from the log" list for worries that are not evidence, such as an accent.
- A next step for you to decide, never a verdict.
- A finalist message and a failure script.
Worked example
From the Fake Candidate Check playbook this tool uses.
From a run on a fictional example. The input: a 14-person startup about to offer a remote contractor week-one access to its only AWS account and customer data. The top candidate asked for $38/hr against a $75-95 range, shared a phone number with another applicant, looked different in round two, gave Gmail references, then asked to ship the laptop to a cousin and to pay a company instead of him. The cofounder wanted to drop him over his accent.
