Problem

IT company HR managers need to identify fraudulent applicants (fake credentials, AI-generated portfolios, stolen identities) in remote hiring, but verifying each resume/portfolio takes an average of 2-4 hours per applicant. For companies hiring 50+ candidates per month, verification staffing costs reach KRW 3-5 million (~$2,250-$3,750)/month. If a fraudulent hire infiltrates the company, internal system breaches can cause damages in the hundreds of millions of won.

Solution

Automatically cross-checks applicant resumes, portfolios, and GitHub profiles to score anomaly indicators (credential inconsistencies, AI-generated content detection, timezone mismatches, duplicate application patterns). Flags high-risk applicants, auto-generates additional verification questions, and provides real-time video interview behavioral analysis (eye tracking, response delay patterns).

Target: HR teams at IT companies with 50-300 employees conducting remote/hybrid hiring, companies using HR SaaS platforms
Revenue Model: Per Transaction billing at KRW 5,000 (~$3.75)/applicant screening. Monthly Subscription KRW 490,000 (~$367)/unlimited (for companies screening 100+ per month)
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
