Catch fraud before it catches you off guard.
RefAssured Protect is a passive fraud detection framework that analyzes dozens of digital and process signals to flag suspicious candidates and reference-givers for review.
Protect runs in the background to surface info that belongs up front.
Detecting fraud should be the first line of defense, not the last.
Waiting until a background check is conducted to identify and stop candidate fraud is like taking pain medication a week after having surgery. Too little, too late. Just get ahead of it and stay ahead.
Without RefAssured Protect
With RefAssured Protect
In the age of generative AI, it has never been easier to appear to be someone you are not.
Surface fraud signals but keep humans in the driver's seat.
RefAssured Protect does not require any action on the part of the candidate or reference-giver. The fraud analysis runs passively in the background based on basic identity information.
Analyzes fraud signals across email, phone, device, and network
Surfaces named signals across categories of fraud risk and highlights any red flags, so that a human recruiter can make a judgment call.
Runs on reference-givers as well as candidates
Can be run on reference-givers as well as candidates to ensure hiring process integrity and provide extra validation to reference findings.
No action required from a candidate
Operates unobtrusively, natively integrates with major ATSes, works on top of any ATS, and requires no action from a candidate.
What it does in one workflow step
Four steps, all of them passive. Nothing is asked of the candidate or the reference-giver. We are democratizing fraud detection so that every staffing agency can feel certain that the candidates and reference-givers in their database are who they say they are.
Run it on demand, or automatically with every reference request
Run Protect on demand for anyone in your ATS, and it runs automatically with every reference request. Reference-givers are analyzed the moment they are submitted, with additional network and device signals captured when they complete their survey.
Coming next: configurable automation, so you can run Protect at the stages you choose.
Completely unobtrusive for everyone
The candidate and reference-giver do not need to take action. The solution simply runs, analyzes fraud signals, and surfaces the ones it finds.
Flags suspicious candidates or reference-givers for review
The solution will inform recruiters if further action or investigation is warranted, and puts the power in their hands to clear them or mark as fraudulent.

Kelly SETT
I've spent decades cultivating a deep understanding of strategic sourcing and recruiting best practices, and believe me when I say that the process by which we place candidates in roles has fundamentally changed. The standards we relied on for accurate screening just aren't so accurate any longer.
Vaco by Highspring
We have to give clients the highest quality talent and we need to reduce risk. If we can't do that, they should not be paying us $25K a pop. That's why I was excited about fraud prevention. If we are submitting talent that doesn't pass a sniff test, isn't even a legitimate person, and we submit them, that revenue is tanked.
Lloyd Staffing
We market ourselves as working with RefAssured because it makes us look better. It justifies our competitive bill rates. If we provide only the best talent, and we can prove it, our margins will be higher and clients will be glad to pay for that peace of mind.
