For HR teams and recruiters
checkreal.ai for HR & recruiters
Recruiting and HR pipelines now see AI-generated headshots on LinkedIn, AI-written cover letters, and the early signs of deepfaked video interviews. The workflow below is built for the moment when something feels off and you need a structured way to verify.
The scenario
A candidate's LinkedIn photo looks like a stock-quality studio headshot but the rest of the profile is sparse. A cover letter is suspiciously polished. A remote video interview has subtle face-edge artifacts. None of these alone are conclusive — together they are.
Recommended workflow
1. Score the avatar
Save the LinkedIn photo and run it through fake-profile-photo-detection. AI-generated portraits are increasingly common on cold-outreach and applicant accounts.
2. Triage the cover letter
Paste the body into the AI text detector for a sense of whether it shows LLM patterns. Use the result alongside the writing in earlier emails — consistency matters more than any single score.
3. Verify a recorded interview clip
If you have a recording, run it through the deepfake detector. Face-coherence and lip-sync signals catch many real-time face-swap tools.
4. Cross-check identity through normal channels
Detection signals are a triage layer on top of standard verification — references, ID checks, work-sample tasks. They do not replace those.

A note on limits
Many real candidates use AI tools to polish writing or use professional headshots that look like AI portraits. Use detection as triage, not adjudication.
