How to Catch Candidate Fraud Without Changing Your Greenhouse Workflow

Identity verification has a reputation for slowing hiring teams down. A link goes to the candidate, a review queue opens somewhere, and your recruiters are waiting on a third system before anyone can move forward. That is not how Proof works inside Greenhouse.

How to Catch Candidate Fraud Without Changing Your Greenhouse Workflow

Identity verification has a reputation for slowing hiring teams down. A link goes to the candidate, a review queue opens somewhere, and your recruiters are waiting on a third system before anyone can move forward. For teams that have built a candidate experience in Greenhouse they are proud of, that kind of friction is not a small concern.

That is not how Proof works inside Greenhouse.

Verification triggers automatically at the stages your team configures: application, interview, offer, or any combination. From there it runs in the background. Candidates with legitimate identities move through quickly.

And most importantly, your recruiters never have to leave Greenhouse to check a result. 

Check identity where and when you want to

The integration does not impose a fixed verification point on your hiring flow. You choose which stages matter for your org, configure them, and Proof handles the rest automatically. 

Some teams run verification at application to filter volume before investing recruiter time. Others activate it at the interview or offer stage, or across all three. Once the configuration is set, there is nothing for your team to manage day to day.

Risk and identity verification results appear as tags on the Greenhouse candidate record, so the risk picture is visible at the moment a recruiter is deciding whether to move someone forward.

What your candidates experience

Verification does add a brief step for candidates. But that’s not a bad thing.

When fraud is caught at the top of the funnel, it means candidates are competing with a pool that only contains other humans, not bots or deepfakes. Legitimate candidates are not losing roles to fabricated identities or coordinated impersonation schemes. 

And for teams running verification across multiple stages, identity confirmed early in the funnel does not reset as a candidate advances. The same confirmation carries through to interview, to offer, and into Day One onboarding. They don’t need to verify identity again, and again, and again. That makes everybody happy - candidates and recruiting teams.
