Lower cost. Faster results. Smarter hiring.
Lower cost

Better decisions
Every candidate gets the same structured questions, so you compare like with like.

Handle more hiring volume without adding recruiting headcount.
Catch fake references before they cost you a bad hire
Some candidates list friends, family or even themselves as references. Every check runs automated fraud screening, and anything suspicious is flagged on the report for your team to review.
- Identity overlap: reference contact details that match the candidate's own email, phone or name
- Device and network signals: a reference responding from the same device or location as the candidate
- Contact verification: personal or disposable email addresses and unverifiable phone numbers given for a work reference
- Answer patterns: near-identical wording across references and responses completed unrealistically fast
