Document fraud detection
Detect a fake diploma
During recruitment, candidates often send their diplomas as scans or PDFs. Some websites openly sell realistic “novelty” diplomas, and a genuine diploma can also be retouched. Docusan analyzes these documents to help HR teams focus their verifications.
