Layer one

Candidate fraud detection

We catch the fakes before they ever reach your team. We flag potential fraud and misrepresentation in real time, blocking spam and keeping your pipeline clean – so you can focus on real candidates.

Layer two

Talent matching

We calibrate the match to your criteria. Talent matching uses AI to prioritise the most qualified candidates and provides transparent explanations for every decision. You are in total control.

Layer three

Candidate identity verification

We verify the individual. By using secure identity verification we can confirm applicants are who they say they are.

Put a stop to spam  

Spam blocklist lets you block specific IP addresses or email domains based on patterns you’ve already seen, like repeat spam submissions or known bad actors. You decide who to block, and you can update the list anytime.

Filter out the fraud  

Fraud detection flags suspicious applications by analysing signals like phone number, email, IP address and location, giving recruiters an early warning as they review applicants.

See your best-fit candidates first  

AI-powered filters organise applications based on how they match your job criteria, such as skills and experience. Assistive filters make it easy to review the strongest matches first and quickly spot potential fraud risks.

Stay in control of every decision

Recruiters define and weigh the job criteria, see exactly why a candidate was flagged and filter applicants by priority candidates, fraud status, application date, location and more. Talent matching never advances or rejects candidates automatically.

Know who’s really applying

Confirm candidate authenticity with integrated identity verification. Identity checks can be triggered at key moments in the process, like before interviews or offers, without slowing things down.

Ensure compliance and confidence

Recruiters see a simple “Verified” status – not documents or sensitive data – while candidates complete a fast, privacy-first verification in MyGreenhouse. The result? More trust on both sides.

FAQ

What is Greenhouse Real Talent?

Real Talent is an AI-powered solution in Greenhouse that helps recruiting teams reduce fraud, spam and misrepresentation at the top of the hiring funnel. It combines candidate fraud and spam detection, identity verification with CLEAR® and AI-assisted Talent Matching so recruiters can focus on real, qualified candidates while staying in control of every hiring decision.

Does Real Talent make hiring decisions?

No. Real Talent does not automatically advance or reject candidates, nor does it make hiring decisions. AI is used to analyse the candidate’s CV and then compare it against the user-defined calibration criteria. The results are presented to the recruiter in their customised dashboard for further action and evaluation.

What is candidate fraud?

Candidate fraud refers to job applications that misrepresent or conceal a candidate’s true identity, qualifications or intent. This can include fake or automated applications, impersonation, falsified experience or applicants using AI or third parties to apply at scale.

How does detecting candidate fraud work?

Real Talent’s fraud detection analyses a candidate’s phone number, email address, IP address and location to identify potential fraud risk signals. The system leverages our third-party vendor (IPQualityScore) to return 26 signals categorised into three distinct groups: high-risk signals that indicate a high risk, minor signals for moderate risk and authenticity markers that lend credibility to a candidate’s profile. By leveraging these risk scores, customers can make more informed decisions about which candidates to move forward.

Does fraud detection use AI?

No. Fraud detection uses objective data from applications (e.g., IP address, email, phone) to show fraud signals. Recruiters can then make decisions about how to interpret and apply the fraud signals.

Is CLEAR candidate identity verification the same as a background check?

No. CLEAR is identity verification, not a background check. It confirms that a candidate is who they say they are – it does not review criminal history, credit, employment records or make hiring recommendations.

CLEAR works at the top of the funnel, using biometric signals, document validation and trusted data sources to verify identity directly within Greenhouse. It adds an early layer of trust so recruiters can focus on real applicants faster, while all hiring decisions remain with the employer.

What data does CLEAR share with Greenhouse?

CLEAR shares only the following limited data with Greenhouse: 

  • Pass/fail results for verification checks, full name, email, phone number and IP address (i.e., selfie and government ID stays with CLEAR).

Can candidates decline identity verification?

Yes. Candidates can decline to participate in identity verification, and declining is not considered a failure. Candidates should contact the recruiter to discuss next steps.

Does Real Talent comply with regulations on the use of AI in hiring in the US and EMEA?

AI regulations typically focus on transparency, bias and data retention.

  • Transparency: We provide an AI notice template on the settings page that can be customised in accordance with your legal team’s guidance. 
  • Bias: We regularly audit our AI to promote fairness and reduce bias. Our models are reviewed monthly by an independent third party to evaluate potential disparate impact across protected classes.
  • Data retention: We retain the data underlying match scores and the legal basis for collecting candidate data as set by the customer’s GDPR rules in order to assist with their statutory record-keeping obligations.
