We catch fake candidates before you interview them
Your ATS only sees your own applicants. Clera checks each one against 240,000+ candidates and every fake it has already caught, then shows you the evidence before anyone books a call.

What your ATS can't see
One phone number, three names
Fakes rarely apply once. Clera has already seen this number under two other names, so your applicant gets flagged before the first call.

Why it catches what your ATS misses

Questions about fake candidates
Common enough that Gartner expects 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide to be fake by 2028. They cluster on remote engineering roles, where nobody meets in person until the offer.
Contact details shared by applicants under different names, emails that follow a generated pattern, CVs that contradict LinkedIn, LinkedIn profiles that don't exist, and matches against profiles Clera has already confirmed as fake.
Your ATS can only compare your applicants with each other. Clera compares them with 240,000+ candidates in Clera's network and every fake it has already caught, so a repeat fake gets flagged on their first application to you.
