Keep a fake candidate out of your payroll
Catch synthetic and fraudulent candidates in remote interviews before they reach payroll and your systems, including the operators who pass screens to get inside.
From signals to one action your team can take.
- UnverifiedIdentityName on the application does not match the identity behind the email and phone records
- SyntheticVideo and voiceFace-swap and voice-clone artifacts present during the screen
- Repeat actorCross-loopSame backing actor appears across two candidate personas
- EvasionBehaviorResists steps that would confirm identity or reveal a second person
Flag the interview. Recruiting pauses the loop before an offer is extended.
Where Diopter sits in your hiring process
Detection on its own is a point in time. These are the stages your team already runs, and what Diopter does at each one.
Verify the candidate before anyone joins
Identity and social checks run against the application ahead of the screen, so the recruiter walks in already knowing whether the person booked is the person applying.
- Identity match: the name on the application against the identity behind the candidate's email and phone records
- Social and footprint checks: work history and profile consistency, and whether the address has any prior correspondence with your org
- Results land before the call starts, not in a report afterwards
Every verdict, and the transcript behind it, flows back to the candidate record in your ATS, so the finding lives with the requisition instead of in a separate tool. Slack alerts are available for the flags your team wants to see immediately.
What Diopter looks for
Synthetic video and voice in interviews
Score the candidate's video and audio for deepfake and cloning indicators during the screen.
Applicant identity verification
Check the person applying against trusted identity signals and verification tools, confirming the candidate is who they claim before access and payroll.
Cross-loop consistency
Surface the same backing actor or persona reused across interview rounds.
Behavioral signals
Track the evasion and coaching patterns common to fraudulent interviews.
Where recruiting fraud shows up
- 01
Synthetic candidates
Deepfake faces and altered voices used to pass remote interviews, including state-sponsored operators looking for a foothold.
- 02
Proxy and backing actors
A different person feeding answers or appearing across multiple candidate personas.
- 03
AI-assisted and coached answers
A candidate leans on an AI tool or a hidden coach to answer live, producing polished responses that do not reflect their own knowledge or experience.
How a candidate fraud attack unfolds
These attacks move through a recognizable sequence. Diopter scores that sequence while the call is still in progress.
A polished persona
A candidate presents strong credentials and a convincing video presence for a sensitive role.
Competing offers
Pressure to move fast discourages extra rounds or deeper verification.
Keep it remote
The candidate avoids steps that would confirm identity or surface a second person.
A backing actor steps in
A proxy feeds answers, or the same operator appears across multiple personas.
An offer and access
The hire reaches payroll and systems before the fraud is caught.
Most tools check the interview. The fraud runs your whole funnel.
A fake candidate is not a bad thirty minutes on Zoom. It is a flood of near-identical applications in the first days of a posting, a fabricated work history, an identity that does not belong to the person on camera, and access to your systems once the offer lands. Teams tell us their real control today is making people come in person, which does not scale and does nothing for the screening rounds before it. Diopter verifies the candidate before the call, scores the call itself, and writes the verdict back to the record your recruiters already work from.
A synthetic candidate can pass one screen. The identity behind the application, the same backing actor across rounds, and the evasion under questioning are the tells a single screen misses.
Verdicts land where your team already works
Interview verdicts, transcripts, and notes syncing straight to the candidate record in your ATS, so the finding lives with the requisition instead of in a separate tool. Direct ATS integrations are in development.
