Invisible Coders White Paper

How AI Is Undermining Technical Hiring—and What Fintech Leaders Must Do to Secure Talent Integrity

Executive Summary

In fintech, where technical excellence, data security, and regulatory compliance are non-

negotiable, the integrity of hiring processes is now under threat.

AI tools are enabling candidates to misrepresent their technical capabilities at scale through real-time code completion, scripted behavioral responses, and even human-assisted proxy interviews. These tactics erode trust, inflate risk, and dilute team effectiveness.

This whitepaper, authored by legal and compliance expert Michael Decktor, outlines how AI-facilitated cheating is reshaping the recruiting landscape. It explains the emerging threat landscape, quantifies the risks for fintech firms, and offers a clear roadmap for defending the hiring pipeline—ethically, legally, and technologically. This also outlines the role Entech can play in helping institutions design proactive solutions tailored to their hiring pipelines.
