Noisy funnels. Overwhelming volume. Fraudsters and fakes.

Your old playbook
never saw
this coming.

In the age of AI, bots, and candidate fraud, recruiting needs more than new tools. Teams need new skills and processes. We'll help you build them.

Let's Talk See how it works

34%

Of recruiters spend half their week filtering spam and junk. Before the real work starts.

Greenhouse 2026 AI in Hiring Report

45%

More LinkedIn applications in one year. AI tools are driving the deluge.

New York Times

1 in 4

Candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028.

Gartner

Your tech recruiter opened their laptop this morning to 1500 new applications. For one req. That opened yesterday.

The black box problem

Your AI filtering tool flagged 70% of them as suspicious. But nobody really knows how it made that call, whether it's right, or whether using it just created a compliance problem nobody's ready to deal with.

The signal problem

The resumes that made it through? They all look identical. AI-polished, keyword-stuffed, indistinguishable from each other. Your primary signal for candidate quality just stopped working.

The improvisation problem

Your recruiters are handling fraud signals in real time, on recorded calls, with no training, no process, and no backup. Everyone's making it up as they go. What could go wrong?

The fraud problem

Nearly every Fortune 500 has unknowingly hired a North Korean IT worker posing as a US employee. Does your team have the skills to keep your company from being next on the list?

This is what recruiting looks like today. Nobody handed you a playbook for this. We'll help you build one.

There's a better way

Candidate Curation.

Candidate Curation is continuous Attraction, Assessment, and Authentication throughout the funnel.

A museum curator doesn't just collect. They use their expertise to carefully select, qualify, and authenticate each piece in the collection. They know the difference between the real thing and a convincing imitation.

It's time for recruiting to model curation.

Instead of attracting talent at the top of the funnel, assessing in the middle, and authenticating at the bottom (if at all), we must now do all three continuously at each candidate touchpoint throughout the funnel. Otherwise, volume floods the pipeline. Signal collapses. Fraud walks through the door because nobody was really looking.

What We Do

Full Implementation Program

Candidate Curation Install

Volume through the roof. Fraud in the funnel. Recruiters burning out trying to keep up. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you're supposed to stop and fix the process.

We built this program specifically for where recruiting is right now. We come in, assess what's broken, build what's missing, and train your team to run it. You don't have to figure this out on your own or find time you don't have.

What you walk away with:

A custom Candidate Curation playbook
Tactics to deter bots, catch misrepresentation, and filter low-intent candidates
Interview processes that scale, protect decisions, and improve candidate experience
A learning library that updates as the landscape shifts
Slate, our workflow intelligence system, to build muscle memory and make it stick

Restored trust, capacity, and human signal.

Let's Talk

The Install includes all three training modules, delivered as hands-on sessions with your team. Each module is also available as a standalone session. Whatever you spend applies as a credit toward the full Install if you decide to go that route later.

Module 01: Attract

Volume, Bots & Noisy Funnels

1500 applications overnight. 40% of your team's week gone before the real work starts. We'll help you shape who enters your funnel before the flood hits. Use your tools without the tools becoming the liability.

Module 02: Assess

Rethinking Assessment in an AI World

AI changed what good assessment looks like. Stop trying to catch people using it. Design interviews where AI use is expected and tells you exactly what you need to know. Then document decisions that hold up under scrutiny.

The Platform

Meet Slate.

Slate is Tenfold's workflow intelligence system, and it does a lot. Feed it a resume, a LinkedIn profile, and a job description and it gets to work. It flags the parts of a resume that deserve a second look. It suggests interview questions in real time based on what you're hearing. It keeps your process consistent and your decisions documented and defensible. It builds your workflows, intakes, and templates. It even pulls in relevant articles twice a week so your team stays sharp.

No black box. No scoring, ranking, or dispositioning. The recruiter always decides.

All clients get full Slate access throughout their engagement plus one month afterward to support adoption. Ongoing access is available as part of the Tenfold Membership.
