Why employer authentication is becoming more important than authenticity

College Recruiter publishes several podcasts, one of which is the From Dorms to Desks Podcast. Listeners are mostly students, recent graduates, and other candidates who are early in their careers. Another is the High Volume Hiring Podcast, which is co-hosted by Jeanette Leeds and College Recruiter's founder, Steven Rothberg. A recent episode featured career expert, J.T. O'Donnell, and focused on employer authentication is paramount for job seekers, even more so than an employer's perceived authenticity. In this episode of From Dorms to Desks, our cohosts emphasize the increasing importance of verifiable employer credentials. Employer verification is becoming increasingly important to ensure job seekers' safety and to avoid fraudulent job postings. But more important does not mean that it is the only matter that is important. Other matters are important too, such as authenticity.
