How fraud detection works alongside Your ATS. Federico grinblat. May 5, 2026 Brainner adds an intelligence layer on top of your existing ATS. One-click integration with Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, Ashby, Recruitee and others. Candidates apply through your ATS like always. Brainner screens them in real-time, flags fraud risks, and syncs everything back. Your team saves time, reduces hiring costs, and avoids the risks that come with fake applicants - all without changing how they work. Your ATS handles the process. Brainner adds the intelligence. Your ATS is built for workflow: * Job postings and candidate tracking * Interview scheduling and offer management * Reporting and audit trails * System of record for your hiring pipeline Brainner connects to platforms like Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Smartrecruiters, JazzHR, Ashby, Workable and BambooHR to add criteria-driven candidate evaluation and fraud detection. Think of it as an intelligence layer that sits between candidate applications and recruiter review - giving your TA team the full picture before they make any decision. What Brainner adds: screening + fraud detection. Two layers: AI screening surfaces the most qualified candidates, and fraud detection flags High Risk profiles before any recruiter opens a resume. Layer 1: AI screening (who's qualified?). 400 applications hit your ATS. Brainner evaluates every single one against role-specific criteria you define: * Technical skills (specific languages, frameworks, tools) * Experience level (years in role, seniority progression) * Industry background * Education requirements * Custom criteria per role Ranks them by fit. Surfaces the top 10-15% automatically. Result: Your team reviews 25-30 qualified candidates instead of 400 resumes. That's 20-40 hours saved per role. Layer 2: fraud detection (who's genuine?). Once Brainner identifies the top qualified candidates, the Identity Check Report runs on each profile - giving your team the full picture before review: * Contact verification (email domain age, phone carrier history) * Profile consistency (LinkedIn vs. resume alignment) * Location verification (IP patterns, phone country match) * Behavioral signals (application timing, automated generation signs) Flags High Risk profiles with specific context before any recruiter opens them. Result: Your team doesn't waste time on fake applicants. No security risks from fraudulent hires. No compliance violations from accidentally hiring from sanctioned regions. How this saves time, money, and headaches. Time saved: No more manual resume reviews on unqualified candidates. No more LinkedIn stalking to verify identities. Brainner handles both. TA teams report saving 20-75 hours per role. Cost reduced: Fewer wasted interviews with fake candidates. Faster time-to-hire means less revenue lost to unfilled roles. No bad hires from fraud that slipped through. Risks avoided: Security breaches from fraudulent hires. Compliance violations (OFAC sanctions, work authorization fraud). Pipeline pollution that buries real talent under fake applicants. The integration: one click, Zero disruption. Connect Brainner to your ATS in one click. Choose which jobs to activate it on. Candidates start applying. Brainner screens them in real-time as they come in. Ranked candidates and fraud flags sync back to your ATS automatically. Two ways to access results: 1. Quick view inside your ATS: Tags, scores, High Risk flags appear as notes or custom fields in Greenhouse, Lever, Workday. 2. Full analysis in Brainner's dashboard: Criteria breakdowns, Identity Check details, justifications. Bidirectional sync: Advance a candidate in Brainner, it updates in your ATS. Archive someone in your ATS, Brainner reflects it. Your team stays in control. What this looks like for your team. A remote Data Analyst role goes live in Greenhouse. 300 applications come in over 48 hours. Without Brainner: * Recruiter spends 2-3 days manually reviewing resumes * Spots 50-100 profiles that "look suspicious" * Spends another 20-40 hours doing LinkedIn checks, phone verification, email validation * Some fakes still slip through * Real top candidates accept offers elsewhere while you're verifying With Brainner: * 300 applications | Brainner screens in real-time * 30 qualified candidates surface * Identity Check flags 5 as High Risk * Recruiter reviews 25 genuine candidates in 2-3 hours total * Zero fakes reach phone screens * Top talent moves faster "With their fake applicant detection tool, we can confidently move forward knowing that the candidates we're speaking with are legitimate. That's been a huge advantage for our team." Lauren Fischer, Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at IMO Health Which ATS platforms work with Brainner?
