Minneapolis, MN, March 11, 2025—Yardstik’s CTO Josh Cutler was recently featured as a speaker at the Marketplace Risk Austin Conference.
Cutler joined Dennis Dahlmann, COO & Co-Founder of GetScale, and Amy Leff, Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Austin, in a panel discussion titled “Today’s Disruptors in High-Volume Onboarding.”
Key takeaways from the discussion included:
- People-related risk is changing as bad actors have found new ways to defraud companies both pre- and post-hire.
- Companies must recognize and respond to fraud risks that occur at every stage of the workforce lifecycle, not just when they’re hired.
- Early-stage marketplaces face the challenge of balancing high-touch interactions with scalable processes. Initially, high-touch is safest but doesn’t scale well.
About the conference, Cutler remarked, “We’re always willing to talk about workforce risk because it’s a complicated problem that we’ve invested all of our time and resources into solving. And Marketplace Risk is one of the best opportunities because we’re surrounded by people who are building the future of work and care deeply about doing it the right way.”
