The AI hiring era

The Rise of Synthetic Resumes Has Begun

Fake experience, fabricated employers, and AI-generated achievements now flood every applicant pool. Manual reviews and basic keyword scans can't keep up — you need intelligent AI that detects synthetic resumes in seconds.

Catch AI-generated resumes

Dedicated dimensions flag synthetic writing, resume-builder templates, and unfilled ChatGPT placeholders — before you schedule an interview.

AI extraction, evidence scoring

LLM-powered parsing pulls employers, dates, and credentials into structured facts. Rule-based verifiers and web corroboration turn them into auditable flags — not opaque scores.

Polish vs. fabrication

Polish risk scores how the document was written; fabrication risk scores whether the career facts check out. Know if you're dealing with an AI-polished résumé or invented work history.

For developers

FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers for teams evaluating resume integrity screening.

Who should use ResumeGuard?

Staffing agencies screening contractor and perm resumes, in-house recruiting and talent-acquisition teams, and developers integrating resume fraud detection into an ATS or HRIS. If you need a fast first-pass integrity check before interviews, ResumeGuard fits. It complements later verification your process already runs; it does not replace employment verification or legal compliance programs.

What does an analysis actually check?

Every upload runs through ten scoring dimensions: timeline gaps, career-path plausibility, technology anachronisms, employer and credential signals, a scholarly or publication check when papers are claimed, AI-polished writing, template placeholders, and more. You get composite, fabrication, and polish risk scores, evidence-backed flags, and interview questions — not a single opaque number.

How does pricing work?

Try one full analysis free on the site. After that, pay as you go from $1.00 per check down to $0.35 at volume, or start the Staffing plan at $99/month with 250 checks included. After those 250, overage is $0.50 through 500 total checks that month and $0.35 after 500. No annual contract. Add billing in the dashboard, generate an API key, and start production screening.

Can I integrate this into my existing hiring stack?

Yes. ResumeGuard is API-first: upload a PDF or DOCX via REST, receive structured JSON with dimension scores and flags. Drop it into your ATS, internal tools, or batch screening pipeline. See the API docs for authentication, rate limits, and example responses.

How is candidate data handled?

We retain screening reports and structured résumé information in your account — scores, flags, and facts extracted during analysis. We do not keep the original uploaded file after processing. Full document text is sent to AI providers only for the analysis request. Choose how long we keep reports under Data retention in your dashboard (30–365 days, or until you delete), or use Remove history to remove everything. See our Privacy Policy for security and deletion details.
