I don't exactly understand what happened here?

Person A shows up for interviews, is offered job.

Person A shows up, signs contract.

Person B shows up, claims they're hired?

Person B didn't sign anything, person A is guilty of fraud, so I don't think there's anything to design around here, "you didn't sign the contract, you don't work here, good day."

Probably more like:

Person B hires person A to the interview for him

Person A shows up for interviews, claiming to be Person B, including B's postal address.

Business sends contract to Person B.

Person B signs, returns contract.

Ah, I've not considered that, I've always signed contracts on premise.

Even then, just send person B to the contract signing. As long as the process is sufficiently impersonal, they might not notice.
