Tech hiring has a ChatGPT problem
30-40% of tech resumes are AI-generated. Fabricated employer lists look plausible. Inflated scope claims - led a team of 40, reduced latency 90% - pass a quick read. Senior engineer interview time costs $200-500 per hour. Stop wasting it on fabricated candidates.

US companies unknowingly hired North Korean IT workers in 2024 (FBI)Why tech hiring is especially exposed
- 1Engineering candidates know what interviewers want to see - and ChatGPT produces it on demand. Generic but technically accurate resumes are now the default.
- 2Remote and distributed hiring means no one has met the candidate in person. Identity fraud via fabricated employment history is easier than ever.
- 3Tech ATSes (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) rank by keyword match. They do not verify that Spotify, Stripe, or Google actually employed this person.
- 4DPRK and other state actors specifically target US tech jobs to fund weapons programs. The FBI has flagged 300+ companies who were fooled in 2024 alone.
How tech teams use GetPruf
Pre-phone-screen filter
Run every resume through GetPruf before scheduling a 30-minute phone screen. Catches the ChatGPT-perfect resumes that would otherwise eat senior engineer time.
Technical claim verification
'Reduced p99 latency by 90% at Uber' - was that candidate even at Uber? GetPruf flags fabricated employers and anachronistic tech-stack claims (e.g., GraphQL expert listed for a 2014 role).
Remote hiring compliance
Remote hiring in 2026 requires documentation. Every GetPruf report is an audit-ready PDF showing you verified the claimed work history before the interview.
Features built for tech hiring
Technology anachronism detection
'Used Kubernetes in production in 2012' gets flagged - Kubernetes was not public until 2014. Same for Rust pre-2015, TypeScript pre-2012, etc.
Scope implausibility checks
'Led 40-person team as an intern' and '400% quarterly revenue growth' trigger cross-section flags against the rest of the resume.
Skills classification (S+E, S, E)
Skills listed but never mentioned in any role description are flagged as Unconfirmed. Candidates claiming 52 technologies with zero cross-role evidence get caught.
