Why it comes up: Candidate fraud detection with a published price from $249/user/mo, for teams that want fraud checks without the coding assessment.
Stands out: It catches fraud at the application stage, before anyone books an interview, by combining network signals (IP, device, VPN, phone and email) with resume and social checks, where most fraud tools in this category watch the live video interview. The pricing page publishes signal counts, accuracy claims and exactly what each tier includes.
Watch out: Endorsed began as an AI applicant review and sourcing tool and now leads with fraud detection, with applicant review sold as an add-on, so check the current product matches what you need. The three seat annual minimum puts Growth at roughly $9,000 a year before add-ons, and volume is capped at 5 jobs per user. Accuracy figures are the vendor's own.
Best for
- TA teams hiring remote engineering or IT roles that attract fake applicants
- Recruiters who want fraud flags inside the ATS before scheduling interviews
- Teams that also want AI ranking of real applicants against written criteria

Why it comes up: Focused on catching proxy, lip sync and deepfake signals in live interviews, from $100/mo, rather than testing skills.
Stands out: Plans split into Only Fraud Detection, Fraud plus AI Fluency, and a full suite that adds automated interview notes, all with unlimited seats under fair use.
Watch out: Starter includes only 10 interviews per month. Overflow is $10 per interview with a 100-interview minimum, so a busy week jumps from $100/mo to a much larger add-on.
Best for
- TA teams running remote video interviews that need proxy and deepfake signals
- Orgs that permit some AI use and want an AI Fluency score beside fraud
- Teams that want automated notes on the same Sherlock session

Why it comes up: AI phone and video screens with coding scorecards and cheat detection from $99/mo, a cheaper self-serve route to a similar check.
Stands out: Live coding challenges run inside the same AI interview as the behavioral screen, with a cheat-detection report aimed at IT staffing submissions. Dual email and SMS reminders are used to cut no-shows.
Watch out: It is not an ATS. Pipeline, deletes, and offers stay in your system of record. After-hours interviews are a featured capability, so volume hiring can run while the desk is closed.
Best for
- IT staffing firms that need a coding scorecard and cheat-detection report on every submission
- Agencies that want AI phone screens after hours with SMS reminders
- TA teams that will keep Greenhouse or similar as the ATS of record
