Overview

Use CLEAR within Greenhouse to add trusted identity verification throughout the candidate lifecycle.

With CLEAR + Greenhouse, recruiters can trigger identity verification at any stage of the hiring process to confirm that the candidate progressing through interviews is the same individual who originally applied for the role.

As AI-generated personas, deepfakes, proxy interviewers, and candidate impersonation become more common, CLEAR helps organizations establish confidence in candidate identity throughout the recruiting process.

Whether supporting technical interviews, executive hiring, contractor recruiting, remote hiring programs, or high-volume recruiting efforts, CLEAR provides recruiters with identity verification signals that can be used to make more informed hiring decisions.

How It Works

Recruiters can initiate a CLEAR verification session directly from within Greenhouse at any point during the candidate lifecycle.

The verification session is delivered to the candidate using the contact information already associated with their candidate profile.

Once the candidate completes verification, the results are surfaced directly within Greenhouse for recruiter review.

Unlike integrations that leverage persistent identity relationships, Greenhouse manages the candidate record and candidate matching process. CLEAR's role is to verify the identity of the candidate and provide verification outcomes back to Greenhouse.

Organizations can choose to introduce identity verification at any point during the hiring process, including:

• Recruiter Screening
• Technical Assessments
• Virtual Interviews
• Panel Interviews
• Executive Interviews
• Offer Acceptance
• Pre-Onboarding

Verification results do not determine whether a candidate progresses through the hiring process. Instead, CLEAR provides identity verification outcomes and risk signals that help recruiters make informed decisions based on their organization's hiring policies and risk tolerance.

CLEAR and Greenhouse have distinct responsibilities within this workflow.

CLEAR Responsibilities

Identity Verification

CLEAR performs identity verification according to the settings configured within Greenhouse.

CLEAR maintains a baseline identity assurance standard that requires verification across the following components at a minimum:

• Biometric Verification
• Document Verification
• Source Validation

Organizations can configure additional verification requirements to increase identity assurance based on hiring risk, role sensitivity, or organizational requirements.

Identity Assurance

CLEAR confirms that the candidate is the individual they claim to be before progressing through critical stages of the hiring process.

This helps organizations reduce risks associated with candidate impersonation, deepfake fraud, proxy interviewing, and synthetic identities.

Verification Results

CLEAR returns verification outcomes and risk signals to Greenhouse for recruiter review.

Examples may include:

• Successful identity verification
• Verification failures
• Identity mismatches
• Incomplete verification attempts
• Other verification-related risk indicators

These outcomes provide additional context to recruiters and hiring managers without making hiring decisions on their behalf.

Greenhouse Responsibilities

Candidate Management

Greenhouse manages candidate records and the candidate lifecycle throughout the hiring process.

Candidate information maintained within Greenhouse is used to facilitate identity verification and associate verification outcomes with the appropriate candidate record.

Workflow Configuration

Greenhouse enables organizations to determine where identity verification should occur throughout the recruiting journey.

Verification can be introduced at any stage based on organizational requirements, hiring policies, or role sensitivity.

Verification Configuration

Greenhouse administrators can configure:

• Verification requirements
• Verification rigor
• Candidate experiences
• Interview stage requirements
• Hiring workflow policies

Organizations can tailor verification requirements based on the role being filled, stage of the hiring process, or internal recruiting policies.

Candidate Matching

Greenhouse associates verification results with the appropriate candidate profile and maintains the relationship between the candidate record and verification outcomes.

Recruiter Experience

Verification outcomes are surfaced directly within Greenhouse, allowing recruiters and hiring managers to review identity verification results alongside other candidate information.

These results provide additional identity assurance signals that can be incorporated into the overall hiring process.

Use Cases

• Candidate Identity Verification
• Deepfake Prevention
• Proxy Interview Prevention
• Remote Interview Verification
• Technical Interview Verification
• Executive Hiring
• Contractor Verification
• High-Volume Recruiting

4. Review Results

Verification outcomes and risk signals are surfaced directly within Greenhouse for recruiter and hiring manager review.

These results can be used to inform hiring decisions and determine whether additional review or follow-up may be appropriate.

Once testing is complete and workflows have been validated, deploy CLEAR identity verification across your recruiting and hiring processes.

Considerations

• Greenhouse Enablement: CLEAR must be enabled within your Greenhouse environment. Please contact your Greenhouse team for assistance with setup and configuration.
• Flexible Deployment: Identity verification can be introduced at any stage of the hiring process.
• Recruiter Decision Support: CLEAR provides identity verification outcomes and risk signals but does not make hiring decisions. Hiring decisions remain the responsibility of recruiters and hiring managers.
• Deepfake and AI Fraud Protection: Reduce risks associated with deepfakes, proxy interviewers, candidate impersonation, and synthetic identities.
• Improved Candidate Assurance: Verify that the individual participating in interviews is the same person who applied for the position.
• Recruiter Visibility: Verification outcomes are surfaced directly within Greenhouse for review and action.
• Minimal Configuration: Recruiters can initiate verification directly from existing Greenhouse workflows with minimal process changes.
