More and more companies are receiving applications with fake experience, AI-generated resumes, or fake LinkedIn profiles. This problem is especially common in IT recruitment and remote hiring, where verifying candidates is much more difficult than in traditional recruitment processes.
Hero Parser analyzes applications before the recruitment interview stage and helps detect suspicious candidates before HR teams and hiring managers waste time on screenings and interviews.
Fake candidates are a real problem in IT recruitment.
Just a few years ago, fake CVs usually meant slightly exaggerated experience or overstated technical skills. Today, the problem looks completely different.
In remote recruitment, the issue continues to grow rapidly. Especially in the IT industry, where the hiring process often involves multiple people.
One fake application means:
- wasted team time,
- technical interview costs,
- delayed hiring,
- security risks,
- lower recruitment efficiency.
We have seen recruitment processes where more than 30% of candidates were classified as suspicious or potentially fake applications.
