Greenhouse Launches Real Talent to Improve Hiring Process

New AI-driven Solution Helps Recruiters Navigate the Chaos of Candidate Pipelines, Identify the Best Candidates, While Securing Organizations Against Fraud and Spam.

Greenhouse, trusted HR tech leader and hiring platform, announced the launch of Real Talent, a groundbreaking solution designed to address the high costs and growing risks of spam, fraud and cheating in hiring. This solution provides recruiting teams with tools to quickly sort and filter job candidates into a tiered inbox based on their application quality and the likelihood of fraudulent or spam activities. Today's recruiting teams are drowning in applications. Economic uncertainty, AI-powered mass applications, and remote work have led to flooded hiring pipelines with sometimes thousands of candidates per role. The use of AI has also increased levels of spam and fraud. These problems also hurt qualified candidates, who get lost in the noise, leading to slower response rates to their applications and even ghosting by overwhelmed recruiters. HR Technology Insights: Sage Launches Supply Chain Intelligence for SMBs Spam is caused by individuals applying for roles in bulk using automated tools, often without high interest or affinity to any specific role. Applicants are also showing up to job interviews with AI co-pilot tools to help them pass interviews, giving them an unfair advantage. Sophisticated fraud schemes have become more common with the rise of AI. According to Gartner, by 2028, 25% of job applicants will be fake, with the rise of AI-generated deepfakes and voice clones. The U.S. Justice Department reported that over 300 U.S. firms, including Fortune 500 companies, have already fallen victim to scams perpetrated by foreign operatives. These trends raise risks for companies and slow recruiters down by forcing them to identify spam and fraudulent applications manually. The Greenhouse Real Talent solution provides essential tools to tackle these challenges, allowing recruiting teams to filter spam and fraud while prioritizing applicants with skills that align with job descriptions. "Greenhouse is committed to addressing the world's most important hiring problems, so being the first in our industry to tackle spam, fraud and cheating in hiring is a priority," said Daniel Chait, CEO of Greenhouse. "With Real Talent, we are moving fast to give recruiters a competitive edge in identifying best-fit candidates, while enhancing security against new and growing threats. This innovative solution will enable our customers to deal with the deluge in their pipeline and trust they can efficiently focus on the right candidates, directly in Greenhouse."
