Hiring is in ‘an AI doom loop,' Greenhouse CEO says
This story was originally published on HR Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily HR Dive newsletter. Two-thirds of U.S. job candidates say they're struggling to land a role in an intensely competitive labor market — and only 7% believe the market favors them, according to a July 17 report from Greenhouse, a hiring platform. Job seekers reported challenges such as hiring automation, employer ghosting and bias. In turn, candidates are responding by using artificial intelligence tools, resume hacks and interview tricks to get attention. 'Hiring is stuck in an AI doom loop,' Daniel Chait, CEO and co-founder of Greenhouse, said in a statement. 'We don't need more friction or hoops to jump through; we need a hiring process that allows people's true selves to come through more clearly and more completely,' Chait added. 'A more human and three-dimensional hiring process that helps candidates showcase their skills and focus their job search is the only way to cut through the chaos and connect the right people to the right roles.' In a survey of more than 2,200 active job seekers in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, 72% said they've encountered 'bait-and-switch' tactics during the hiring process, where the job they applied for turned out to be different from the offered position. Workers said employment uncertainty, reduced hours and job losses led them to look for a new role. In an attempt to become more competitive, 59% of candidates said they've altered their resumes, and among those, 45% said they've embellished their qualifications. Job seekers also said they're turning to AI to remain competitive, with 67% of U.S. candidates using AI during the job hunt. While 45% use AI to prepare for interviews, 28% use it to create fake work samples, and 22% use automated bots to submit applications. With the growth of AI use in hiring, more than a quarter of candidates said it's even harder to stand out, and nearly a third have claimed AI skills they don't have. As the hiring process grows even more competitive, 10% of job seekers said they've lied on their resume, typically about dates of employment, years of experience and job responsibilities in previous roles, according to an AI Resume Builder report. Only 21% said they regret lying, and 92% said their lies were never discovered. Ghosting appears to go both ways — while 63% of candidates surveyed by Greenhouse said they're often left in the dark after interviews, about half said they've ghosted an employer as well. Among Gen Z job seekers, 73% said they've walked away mid-process, including 26% after receiving an offer.

Greenhouse and Clear team up to fight fake job applications flooding tech hiring
Fraudulent job applications have become a serious issue in the era of remote interviews and AI-generated content. Research firm Gartner predicts that by 2028, up to 25% of applications could be fake. In some cases, fraudsters in North Korea have managed to land Western tech jobs under false pretenses, according to recent reports. One client recently told Daniel Chait, cofounder and CEO of hiring software company Greenhouse, that more than 70% of applications for remote tech roles they're receiving are fake. Others have reported increasing difficulty sorting through waves of irrelevant or fraudulent submissions. 'What we're hearing from them is that they're overrun with spam, unqualified applicants, cheating (people using various means to pass job interviews), and fraud. [It's] willful misrepresentation in the process, often by kind of nefarious groups,' Chait says. To combat the problem, Greenhouse is developing a new platform called Greenhouse Real Talent. The goal is to filter out unqualified candidates submitting AI-generated applications, those using AI tools during interviews, and individuals applying under fake identities. To help with identity verification, Greenhouse is partnering with Clear, the company best known for its expedited airport security service. In recent years, Clear has expanded beyond travel with a platform called Clear1. While airports were the initial focus, the company always intended to move into broader identity verification, says Clear cofounder and CEO Caryn Seidman Becker in an exclusive interview with Fast Company. 'Clear1 really does reflect our day one vision to make experiences safer and easier, physically and digitally,' she says. 'It's what we talked about and pitched 15 years ago when we went out to raise capital to start Clear, and it's coming to fruition today.' Clear now provides ID checks for LinkedIn verification badges, tool rentals at Home Depot, and patient check-ins at certain medical facilities. In April, it announced a partnership with DocuSign to integrate identity verification into digital contract signings. T-Mobile also uses Clear1 to authenticate employees, the companies announced Wednesday, saying biometrics help the telecom provider confirm employees' actual identities, not just that they know a password or are in possession of a particular device. The Clear1 platform enables businesses to add identity checks into their websites or apps, whether on users' phones or company tablets in places like medical offices. First-time users are typically asked to provide an email address and phone number, photograph a government-issued ID, and take a selfie to confirm they're real. Future verifications are usually quicker. The process is meant to feel similar to logging in with Google credentials or using Apple Pay, allowing users to see what information is shared with the requesting company. 'They can verify with Clear just like you can pay with Apple,' Seidman Becker says. The stage at which applicants are asked to verify their identity through Clear will depend on each company's process. Chait expects that employers using Real Talent, which is set to launch in the third quarter of this year, will ask applicants to reverify at key stages such as before video interviews. Behind the scenes, Clear checks various factors to validate documents, confirm the user matches them, and detect suspicious device activity. Seidman Becker says this provides a seamless way for businesses to ensure users are who they claim to be, without relying on multiple tools. Verification is also faster after a user completes the process once. According to the company, initial verification takes about 90 seconds, and later sessions typically take less than 15 seconds. Clear also offers alternative verification methods for users who struggle with certain steps—a common issue during the COVID-era unemployment surge—though Seidman Becker declined to share details, citing proprietary technology. 'There are other ways that we can work to verify you, as opposed to some more traditional ID verification companies that just sort of have one trick, if you will,' she says. Chait adds that Real Talent will offer an alternative path for applicants who are unable or unwilling to use Clear's standard process. 'If you, for a variety of reasons, don't want to or can't be part of that online verification process, there'll be an alternative path,' he says. 'But I think most people will find it's a lot more convenient and a lot more straightforward to do it the Clear way.' Clear has occasionally faced criticism from lawmakers and travelers over its paid airport perks and from privacy advocates concerned about biometric data use. Seidman Becker argues that Clear's visibility and track record actually build trust among businesses and consumers handling sensitive data. She also believes the use of Clear online may drive more sign-ups for its airport services. In May, the company reported that first-quarter revenue rose 18.1% year over year to $211.4 million, with Clear+ airport memberships up 9.1%. Last fall, Clear introduced new facial recognition technology in airports, which it claims is significantly faster than its previous systems.

Greenhouse Real Talent™ Launches to Fix Overwhelming Candidate Pipelines while Combatting Fraud and Spam in Hiring
New AI-driven Solution Helps Recruiters Navigate the Chaos of Candidate Pipelines, Identify the Best Candidates, While Securing Organizations Against Fraud and Spam NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenhouse, trusted HR tech leader and hiring platform, today announced the launch of Real Talent, a groundbreaking solution designed to address the high costs and growing risks of spam, fraud and cheating in hiring. This solution provides recruiting teams with tools to quickly sort and filter job candidates into a tiered inbox based on their application quality and the likelihood of fraudulent or spam activities. Today's recruiting teams are drowning in applications. Economic uncertainty, AI-powered mass applications, and remote work have led to flooded hiring pipelines with sometimes thousands of candidates per role. The use of AI has also increased levels of spam and fraud. These problems also hurt qualified candidates, who get lost in the noise, leading to slower response rates to their applications and even ghosting by overwhelmed recruiters. Spam is caused by individuals applying for roles in bulk using automated tools, often without high interest or affinity to any specific role. Applicants are also showing up to job interviews with AI co-pilot tools to help them pass interviews, giving them an unfair advantage. Sophisticated fraud schemes have become more common with the rise of AI. According to Gartner, by 2028, 25% of job applicants will be fake, with the rise of AI-generated deepfakes and voice clones. The U.S. Justice Department reported that over 300 U.S. firms, including Fortune 500 companies, have already fallen victim to scams perpetrated by foreign operatives. These trends raise risks for companies and slow recruiters down by forcing them to identify spam and fraudulent applications manually. The Greenhouse Real Talent solution provides essential tools to tackle these challenges, allowing recruiting teams to filter spam and fraud while prioritizing applicants with skills that align with job descriptions. "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 features: AI-Driven talent filtering: Real Talent analyzes applicant data against job requirements, evaluating skills, experience, and other key indicators to enable recruiting teams to quickly filter for candidates best suited for the role based on their application. Spam & Fraud Detection: Sophisticated algorithms proactively identify and flag spam, bot submissions, and applications with patterns indicative of fraud, keeping cyber attackers out of organizations, and ensuring a higher quality, more reliable applicant pool. Cheating & Misrepresentation Detection: Ensure that candidates are who they claim to be at key points throughout the interview process, while also reducing the likelihood of cheating. Key benefits: Easy to manage candidate pipelines: By filtering applicants that do not meet the basic requirements of the role, Real Talent frees up recruiter time to focus on engaging only with eligible candidates, and filling roles quickly. Reduced risk: Mitigate the opportunity for bad actors to steal confidential or sensitive data. Improved quality of hire: Focusing on qualified and relevant candidates enables companies to make more confident and successful hiring decisions. While the responsibility for reviewing and selecting applicants will always rest in the hands of the hiring team, with Greenhouse Real Talent, they'll be able to sort their talent pool, saving time and helping to putting the right hire in the right role. How Real Talent works: Real Talent integrates directly into the existing Greenhouse application workflow. As applications are received, the AI engine assesses application fit against the specific job criteria, categorizes the applicant pool and enables recruiters to filter their review more efficiently. Simultaneously, it analyzes applications for spam and fraud indicators, leaving customers with a tiered applicant inbox in accordance with their customized preferences. Availability: Greenhouse Real Talent features will phase in availability for Greenhouse customers starting in Q3 2025. Further details on package availability and early access programs will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay updated on the latest Greenhouse product news here.
