Noisy funnels. Overwhelming volume. Fraudsters and fakes.

Your old playbook
never saw
this coming.

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

34%
of recruiters spend half their week filtering spam and junk. Before the real work starts.
45%
more LinkedIn applications in one year. AI tools are driving the deluge.
1 in 4
candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028.

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?

Nobody handed you a playbook for this. We'll help you build one.

There's a better way

What is Candidate Curation?

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

In the age of AI noise, risk, and fraud, recruiters shouldn't just be screening, filtering, or collecting. We should be curating.

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

The Landscape

Only 54% of candidates say they trust organizations to be honest with them during the hiring process.

"There are hundreds of Fortune 500 organizations that have hired North Korean IT workers... at least one, if not a dozen or a few dozen."

"If you're not seeing it, it's because you're not detecting it, not because it's not happening to you."

Organizations with awareness training saw 52% smaller median losses and detected fraud more than 2.5x faster.
