I don’t understand what is wrong with this system:

“Please employ me.”

“OK, fill out this form with your name, D.O.B. and national insurance number, and if it matches against the government database then you can have the job.”

What am I missing here? I suppose they could use someone else’s details, but then HMRC should be able to easily see that the NI account seems to have multiple taxpayers.
