In July, the U.S. and ten allied governments issued their most coordinated warning yet: North Korean IT workers are using stolen identities, laptop farms, and increasingly AI to get hired into remote roles at Western companies. Many arrive through staffing firms and RPOs, where conventional background checks were never built to catch a fabricated person. The problem is already widespread.

Paying one, even unintentionally, can create sanctions exposure for the client as well as the vendor.

One of the five largest staffing firms in the U.S. decided not to wait for an incident. As Fortune 100 clients began demanding auditable proof of workforce integrity, the firm turned to GetReal to revalidate its placed remote workforce.
