Greenhouse, a leading HR tech platform, has unveiled Real Talent, an advanced AI-driven solution aimed at helping recruiters tackle the growing challenges of hiring in a digital-first world. As hiring teams grapple with unprecedented volumes of applications—many of which are spam, fraudulent, or AI-generated—Real Talent offers a smarter way to identify high-quality candidates while safeguarding organizations from bad actors.
With economic shifts, remote work, and AI-fueled mass applications overwhelming recruiting pipelines, hiring teams often find themselves buried under thousands of resumes—many from bots or ill-intentioned applicants. These patterns not only delay the hiring process but also hinder engagement with qualified candidates. According to Gartner, by 2028, one in four job applicants could be fake, leveraging tools like deepfakes or AI voice clones. Already, over 300 U.S. companies have fallen victim to such fraud schemes, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Greenhouse’s Real Talent directly addresses these risks. The tool filters applications into a tiered inbox based on quality and fraud risk, allowing teams to prioritize legitimate, well-matched candidates. Core features include AI-based talent filtering, spam and fraud detection, and interview process safeguards to catch cheating or identity misrepresentation.

“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.”
Real Talent integrates seamlessly with the existing Greenhouse workflow. As applications come in, it evaluates job-fit, flags suspicious patterns, and delivers a curated, categorized inbox tailored to recruiter preferences. The benefits extend beyond efficiency: it reduces the risk of data theft, improves hiring accuracy, and allows recruiters to focus on engaging candidates who are both qualified and genuine.
