Three things happen Every week in modern hiring.

Each one looked rare three years ago. Now they're routine and standard hiring pipelines were never built to catch them.

01

The fabricated CV.

A candidate's resume lists three years at a Series B you respect. The work emails don't exist. The LinkedIn was created last quarter. You wouldn't catch it without cross referencing four data sources.

And 64% of applicants have admitted lying on their resume at least once. The fabrication isn't an outlier it's the median.

02

The ChatGPT coached interview.

A candidate ships polished answers in real time. You can't see the overlay. Standard screen share doesn't catch it. Cluely. Interview Coder. Final Round AI.

The cheater pays $20 a month for a shot at a $150K salary. The math is too good for it to be a fringe behaviour any more.

03

The day 30 underperformer.

You make the offer. They join. Week three, they can't ship. Week six, they can't explain their own resume. The interview was a fabrication of competence that didn't exist.

The cost of getting it wrong: 30 150% of first-year salary, depending on seniority and tenure of the bad hire.

Candidates use AI to fake fit.
We use AI to verify it.

Banning AI is a losing fight. Proctoring is a privacy nightmare. The answer isn't to police candidates it's to verify them. We use AI agents to cross check every claim a candidate makes, on paper and in conversation, so the signal that reaches your hiring manager is real.

Two Agents. Five checkpoints.
One real signal.

Every candidate moves through the same five gates. The signal compounds. Nothing reaches your recruiter that hasn't been verified end-to-end.

aim_bot
the verification agent .

Runs the full length of your funnel. Rates every candidate. Verifies every claim. Surfaces every discrepancy with timestamped evidence.

[ 01 · On every candidate ]

Fit score + rationale.

Generates a 1–10 fit score against the role's hiring bar with a written rationale. No black box rejections. Every candidate, every time.

[ 02 · At score 7+ ]

Fabrication signals.

Runs fabrication signals: claimed vs verifiable employment, dates that don't add up, LinkedIn header sanity check, AI generated content markers in the resume itself.

[ 03 · On shortlist ]

Deep verification.

Apollo + Corsignal cross reference. Pulls work emails from claimed employers. Verifies tenure against company data. Cross checks skills against role history. Every discrepancy flagged.

85% of hiring managers report catching lies on resumes. They catch the obvious ones. Resume fraud still costs U.S. businesses an estimated $600 billion annually because the obvious ones aren't the problem. Source: Crosschq, 2025

TAL
the interview agent .

Runs the live technical interview in your candidate's claimed domain. Adaptive follow ups. Structured report. Your recruiter walks into the debrief with evidence, not impressions.

[ 01 · In the room ]

Runs the live technical interview.

Runs the technical interview live in your candidate's claimed domain finance, engineering, product, ops. Trained on your hiring bar before the first call. Asks the right questions, hears the answer.

[ 02 · Adaptive depth ]

Follow ups that break the script.

A polished surface answer triggers a deeper follow up. A claim about a project triggers a question about the trade off the candidate didn't mention. A scripted response triggers a question the script doesn't cover.

[ 03 · The session report ]

Evidence, not impressions.

Every TAL interview produces a structured report. Question by question scoring, gap analysis, depth markers, and a written recommendation. Your recruiter walks in with evidence.

Conversational follow ups are the one thing cheating tools can't solve. Cluely can feed a candidate an answer. It can't predict what the interviewer asks next. Adaptive questioning is now the most reliable defense against AI-coached interviews and it's how TAL runs every session. Source: Fabric, 2026
