Nametag’s Recruit module gives HR and talent acquisition teams a new way to verify that job candidates are real people and the same people across every stage of hiring, without retaining biometric data. Each candidate receives a clear, auditable pass or fail decision, relieving HR teams of the burden of judging candidate authenticity. With native integrations into Workday and Greenhouse, recruiters can trigger verifications automatically as candidates progress through the hiring pipeline, regaining time and restoring integrity to modern hiring.

Hiring Has an Integrity Crisis. The Status Quo Can't Fix It.
The numbers tell a harrowing story: HR teams are drowning in candidates they can’t trust.
- 65% of hiring managers have caught applicants using AI deceptively.
- 35% of hiring managers have witnessed a proxy join a virtual interview.
- 34% of recruiters spend up to half their working week filtering junk applications.
- 31% of hiring managers have already interviewed a candidate using a fake identity.
- North Korea is generating up to $600 million annually from fake IT workers.
The tools and techniques HR teams rely on to judge candidate authenticity were never designed for this environment. Background checks verify identity information, not the person claiming to own it. Video interviews confirm someone is on the call, but not who. AI-powered applicant screening tools deliver probabilistic scores, not proof, and introduce compliance risks.
The result: Recruiters are forced to make high-risk hiring decisions based on instinct and incomplete data.
"Recruiting teams have been living with this problem for years without a real solution. The tools they have today were built to verify paperwork, not people." — Aaron Painter, CEO at Nametag
Identity Assurance for the Full Hiring Journey
The Recruit module works inside Greenhouse and Workday to ensure that every candidate is a real person and the same person throughout hiring. It can be set up in minutes with an identical, compliant experience for every candidate. Customers have full control over how sensitive data is handled, including where data is stored and for how long it’s retained. Personal privacy is protected and respected at all times.
- Privacy-preserving humanity checks filter bots and fake applicants before they reach a recruiter.
- For real candidates, Nametag establishes a verified identity anchor using our Deepfake Defense™ identity assurance engine.
- At any stage, an optional Location Integrity™check verifies that candidates are physically located where they claim to be.
- Across stages, our patented technologies ensure candidate continuity without retaining their biometrics, alleviating privacy and compliance risks.
- Once you’ve decided to hire someone, our Onboard module seamlessly extends their verified identity anchor into day-1 device and access provisioning.
Of course, HR teams shouldn't have to run fraud investigations themselves. Unlike other identity verification systems, every Nametag identity check results in a definitive Yes/No decision. People whose verifications are rejected are invited to try again and given clear, specific guidance. And unlike other identity verification systems, if a person chooses to appeal their rejection, it gets sent to a specially trained Nametag expert to review, not back to your HR team.
“Nametag gives HR teams something they haven't had: a straight answer, at every stage of hiring, on whether the person they're talking to is actually who they say they are.” — Aaron Painter, CEO at Nametag
Built So HR, IT, and Legal Can All Say Yes
One of the reasons HR teams have had to make do without a real solution to candidate fraud is that every tool they evaluate creates new problems for someone else in the organization.
HR needs something candidates will actually complete that doesn’t slow down legitimate hiring. Legal needs no biometric storage, consistent treatment of every candidate, and a clear audit trail. IT and security need something that connects to the infrastructure they already operate.
Nametag was built around all three sets of requirements from the start. No biometric data is ever stored. Every candidate can move through an identical experience. Accessibility is baked into our user interfaces. Data collection, retention, and visibility are fully configurable. Native integrations with HR and IT systems are documented and easy to deploy.
The Bigger Picture
Nametag’s Recruit and Onboard modules combine into Nametag Hire, an identity assurance solution which follows the natural arc of the hiring process from application through access.
Hire is one of three solutions built on the Nametag platform. Support bundles our Helpdesk and Self-service modules to bring the same identity assurance to account recovery and IT support interactions. Approve bundles our Agentic AI and Step-up modules to bring verified human authorization to high-risk approvals and AI agent actions.
All our solutions run on the same platform and Deepfake Defense™ identity assurance engine, which means that the verified identity your talent team establishes during hiring is the same identity that gets reverified when that person recovers their account, contacts your helpdesk, approves a financial transaction, or authorizes an AI agent to act on their behalf.
