Candidate fraud has become one of the biggest pain points in recruiting. After a year on the road at conferences, product launches, and interviewing leaders across the industry, one theme keeps surfacing: fake identities, fake resumes, fake work histories, and fake profiles are slowing teams down. Recruiters are spending hours each week just checking if candidates are real.
Endorsed has introduced AI Fraud Shield, an identity and resume-fraud detection tool trained on anonymized patterns from millions of applicants. It automatically verifies resumes, social profiles, phone numbers, emails, and external databases to detect fraud before interviews.
Fraud Shield is available as a free Chrome extension that works directly inside your ATS. There is no integration and no setup. It reads the page and flags fraud instantly. Recruiters can bulk filter inbound candidates, reject fraud at scale, create compliance records, and use reporting to clean up their pipelines.
As inbound volume rises and conversion rates fall, fraud is not just noise. It slows down real candidates who are trying to break through. Tools like this help recruiters get back to sourcing strong talent, improving candidate experience, and partnering with hiring managers.
