I thought it showed on the page if a project was forked; perhaps it makes fraud possible but wouldn't it be spotted almost immediately when you started work, if it wasn't spotted then arguably it doesn't matter.
"Almost immediately when you started work" is precisely too late, though. If you hire purely off GitHub and get someone who lifted their code (instead of forking it), that's a huge price.
Bad hires inflict huge costs up front, in wasted interview opportunities and startup costs and lost training time and morale hits and a dozen other things. "Fire fast" is popular advice because it's better than firing slow, not because unsuccessful hires are a sustainable event.
