4 red flags detected across employment, education, and timeline
Employer unverifiable
"NovaTech Solutions" — no company website, LinkedIn page, or business registry found
Unaccredited institution
"Pacific Western University" — known diploma mill, not regionally accredited
Timeline gap
18-month gap between roles (Jan 2021 — Jul 2022), unexplained
Title inflation pattern
Junior → Senior → Principal in 3 years at companies with <20 employees
The problem
39% of candidates use AI on applications. 6% commit identity fraud.
Background checks happen too late
You run Checkr or HireRight after interviews — by then you've already invested hours in a candidate who fabricated their entire work history.
No tools for the application layer
HireTofu and FraudShield exist, but they're enterprise-only with demo-gated pricing. If you're a 50-person company, you have no option.
Trust is the default
Most recruiters take resumes at face value because there's no fast, affordable way to check. With 25% fake applications projected by 2028, that default is increasingly dangerous.
How it works
Upload. Analyze. Decide.
Recruiters use the dashboard. Staffing agencies call the API. Both get fraud scores with specific red flags in under 30 seconds.
For recruiters
No code. Upload a PDF, get a risk card.
Upload resume
Drag a PDF or DOCX onto the upload area. Optionally paste a LinkedIn profile URL for cross-reference.
Review risk card
See an overall risk score and specific red flags: unverifiable employers, diploma mill degrees, timeline gaps, title inflation. Each flag includes evidence.
Tag and move on
