About Verif_Hire - Detect Fake Candidates & Catch Fraudulent Applicants
Identify fake candidates and fraudulent candidates in seconds. Verify applicant identity right from your browser toolbar.
Verif_Hire is the fastest way to identify fake candidates and fraudulent candidates during hiring. Paste a name, phone, and email, or drop in a resume, and get a verification result in seconds. No integrations, no batch uploads, no forms to fill.

๐ฏ WHY TEAMS USE VERIF_HIRE TO IDENTIFY FAKE CANDIDATES
Candidate fraud is the fastest-growing problem in hiring. Interview-for-hire schemes, resume fraud, stolen identities, AI-assisted impersonation, offshore proxy candidates applying under fake US identities, it's all increasing. Most ATS platforms don't flag any of it. By the time you notice, you've paid for a recruiter round, an interview panel, and sometimes weeks of onboarding.
Verif_Hire catches fraudulent candidates at the top of the funnel, before you spend time on them.

โจ WHAT MAKES VERIF_HIRE DIFFERENT
Most "candidate verification" tools are background-check services that cost $40 to $100 per applicant and take days. You can't run them on every inbound resume. Verif_Hire is built for the opposite end of the funnel: the cheap, fast, top-of-funnel pre-employment identity check that lets you identify fake candidates before you spend human time on them.
โก Instant. No waiting, no background-check turnaround.
๐ธ Cheap enough to run on every applicant.
โ No candidate consent workflow required. All data used is publicly available and the check is purely for identity verification.
๐ Lives in your browser. Works alongside any ATS where candidate contact info is visible.
๐ Privacy-first. Verif_Hire does not store candidate PII after verification.
๐ FREE TO INSTALL
Add to Chrome, free. No credit card required. Every new install gets unlimited verifications and full Pro features for the first 14 days, then your account rolls to the Free plan automatically. Pro is a flat $49/month, unlimited verifications, cheaper than one missed bad hire.
Install from verif-hire.com and run it on your current pipeline before subscribing.
โ FAQ
Q: How does Verif_Hire identify fake candidates?
A: It runs multi-signal identity checks across the candidate's phone number, email address, and name. When signals don't align, Verif_Hire flags it as a likely fake candidate or fraudulent candidate.
Q: How do I identify fraudulent candidates in my pipeline?
A: Paste up to 10 names, phones, and emails into bulk mode, or parse directly from your ATS page. Verif_Hire returns a per-candidate verdict in seconds and groups cleared candidates so you can focus on the flagged ones.
Q: Does Verif_Hire work with my ATS?
A: Yes. Verif_Hire reads candidate contact info straight from your browser, so it works alongside any ATS that displays candidate contact info in the browser. You can also upload resumes (PDF or DOCX) and Verif_Hire will auto-fill the fields.
Q: Is it legal to use Verif_Hire to screen candidates?
A: Yes. Verif_Hire only uses publicly available data and does not perform a "consumer report" under the FCRA. It is a pre-employment identity check, not a background check. See verif-hire.com for the full compliance guide.
Q: How is candidate data handled?
A: Candidate information is used only for verification at the moment of the screen and is not retained. See the data retention and privacy policy at verif-hire.com.
