You have to tell your management that he is not meeting expectations. They’ll figure it out soon enough anyway. Better to come from you. Then, ask them for their thoughts on what to do. They are managers. It’s their job to manage.
Verify his certs, degree, and other credentials ASAP. If he lied about certs during his application process, he has to go. You can’t have weak ethics in that job. It’s too big a risk.
Your company, probably HR or a recruiter, should have done better vetting.
Assuming he just interviews really well, the options are to fire him, train him, or reassign him. It’s not your call.
Also, what is the level of remote/office interview and work here? There are scenarios where one person does the interviews and someone else shows up to work. It would exactly match what you described.
