Candid Hire - AI Resume Authenticity Scoring
Score every application for AI-generated content and fraud signals so recruiters focus on real candidates, not synthetic ones.
Recruiters are drowning in AI-generated resumes that are nearly indistinguishable from authentic ones, with up to 90% of applications containing identical AI-written text and 1 in 4 candidate profiles projected to be fake by 2028. Manual screening costs $28,800+ per recruiter annually and still fails to catch sophisticated synthetic applications.
