🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-05

Spot fraudulent job applications, AI-generated resumes, and inconsistent claims in seconds.

• Application File URLs - Upload PDF, DOCX, or TXT resumes and documents from Apify storage and provide their URLs
• Job Requirements - Describe required skills, experience, or qualifications so the AI can evaluate fit against the role. Optional
