Cinder, a US-based tech company, is facing the challenge of North Korean nationals suspected of working for the North Korean government applying for engineering roles. These applicants work remotely via third countries to funnel money back to their government, potentially violating sanctions. With co-founders from CIA backgrounds, Cinder is uniquely positioned to handle this issue. North Koreans are increasingly applying for full-time remote positions at US tech companies due to the appeal of higher salaries. Cinder uses various methods to detect suspected North Korean applicants, including analyzing online presence, job history, and profile imagery. If your company is experiencing a similar issue, contact Cinder for prevention strategies.
