Catch Candidate Fraud Without Changing Your Lever Workflow
Proof integrates seamlessly with Lever ATS to automate identity verification at any chosen hiring stage without disrupting workflows, enabling recruiters to detect candidate fraud 13 times more effectively than industry benchmarks by displaying risk signals directly within their existing pipeline, thereby preventing fraudulent hires and saving significant costs.
We often see hiring teams skip identity verification because the tools available for it sit outside of their ATS. Requiring identity verification for candidates forces teams to manage a separate system and add steps for which they don’t have bandwidth or expertise.
Proof now closes that gap for teams that use Lever.
Your team decides where to trigger identity verification: application, interview, offer, or any combination. From there it runs automatically, and results appear where your recruiters are already making decisions.
No extra login. No separate queue. No manual steps to remember.
How Proof runs inside your pipeline
When Proof is connected to your Lever account, your team chooses where in the pipeline to trigger an identity verification. Some teams run it at the application stage to screen volume before investing recruiter time in a candidate. Others activate it at the interview stage, pre-offer, or across multiple stages.
The integration supports any configuration, and once it is set, identity verification can run automatically from there. Results appear directly in Lever, so the risk picture is visible at the moment a recruiter is deciding whether to move someone forward.
For candidates with a legitimate identity, the experience is fast. The system is built to stop fraud, not add friction for real candidates.
Catching fraud with a 13x stronger model
Proof's fraud detection model has identified fraud 13x more effectively than industry benchmarks over the last 12 months. It evaluates every application that enters your pipeline, passively, and by the time a recruiter is shortlisting candidates in Lever, the risk signals are already visible alongside everything else they rely on.
Proof's own People Ops team runs hiring through the same integration. They stopped fraud before it reached an interview and saved an estimated $270,000 in the process.
Gartner projects that 1 in 4 candidate profiles will be fake by 2028. At that volume, manual checks are not a strategy. Integrating Proof into your Lever workflow means fraud detection runs on every application you configure it for, automatically, and your team gets the risk picture without adding work.
