Problem:

  • Many HR departments continue to rely on manual screening processes that are time-consuming and prone to human error.
  • False or exaggerated information in resumes often goes undetected, reducing the reliability of hiring decisions.
  • Research indicates that over 50% of job applicants misrepresent their credentials, leading to estimated annual losses of at least $17,000 due to resume fraud (S. Aggarwal, 2024).
  • Existing recruitment platforms lack critical features such as immutable activity logs and real-time OSINT-based verification, increasing the risk of misuse and untraceable actions.

Methodology:

The system was developed using the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) combined with an Agile methodology. Security considerations was embedded at every phase of development, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment. Agile practices was applied to enable iterative development, continuous feedback, and regular security assessments to ensure the platform remains secure, scalable, and aligned with user requirements.

Solution:

  • Developed a user-friendly, web-based platform that integrates Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to support ethical and effective background screening.
  • Enable HR professionals to validate applicants’ credentials and claims using publicly available and legally accessible data sources.
  • Incorporate secure and immutable logging mechanisms to ensure transparency, accountability, and auditability.
  • Ensure full compliance with GDPR and relevant data protection regulations to protect personal data and privacy.
