Remote Hiring
Stop Deepfake Candidates Before They Start.
Polyguard verifies every interview participant's real identity — and maintains that identity across every interaction.
The Threat Is Already Inside Your Pipeline
Remote hiring has created a new class of identity fraud. The tools to impersonate a candidate are free, accessible, and improving every month.
State-Sponsored Infiltration
DPRK IT worker campaigns have targeted Fortune 500 companies, defense contractors, and critical infrastructure firms. Operatives use stolen identities and deepfake technology to pass remote interviews, gain employment, and exfiltrate data and funds.
Deepfake Technology Is Trivial
Real-time face-swap tools are freely available and require no technical skill. A candidate can present a completely synthetic face during a live video interview — indistinguishable to the human eye.
The Cost of a Malicious Hire
A single bad hire with malicious intent can result in intellectual property theft, supply chain compromise, ransomware deployment, and regulatory liability. The cost is measured in millions, not thousands.
Background Checks Are Too Late
Traditional background checks happen after the interview is over — after a fraudulent candidate has already seen your systems, met your team, and learned your processes. The damage starts before the offer letter.
How Polyguard Secures Your Interviews
Four steps. No workflow changes. Verified identity from first screen to final offer.
Candidate Completes a Trust Check
The candidate downloads Polyguard Mobile and completes a Trust Check — fused identity verification on their own device. This takes minutes and happens once.
Verified Identity Persists Across Every Interaction
Once verified, the candidate's identity is confirmed in every subsequent interaction — phone screens, technical rounds, panel interviews, and onboarding calls. No re-enrollment needed. The same verified person, every time.
PG-Presence Prevents Remote Manipulation
PG-Presence continuously monitors for remote desktop access, screen sharing tools, KVM switches, and mid-call participant swaps. If someone else takes over the interview — or operates the candidate's machine remotely — PG-Presence flags it immediately.
Transaction Affidavit Provides a Legal Record
Every verification event generates a Transaction Affidavit — a litigation-ready record with biometric confidence scores, PG-Presence timing (under ~100ms), JWKS zero trust attestations, and NY CPLR § 3122-a certification. Exportable and audit-ready.
How Polyguard Compares
Background checks and standalone deepfake detection tools leave critical gaps. Polyguard closes them.
| Background Checks | Deepfake Detection Tools | Polyguard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When verification happens | After the interview | During a single call | Before, during, and across every call |
| What it verifies | Criminal history, education, employment | Whether video appears synthetic | Person + document + device + location |
| Real-time component | None | Frame analysis only | Continuous identity confirmation |
| Identity persistence | One-time report | Per-session only | Across every interaction |
| Remote access prevention | No | No | Yes — PG-Presence |
| Legal record | Background report | Confidence score | Transaction Affidavit (litigation-ready) |
Why PG-Presence Matters
The Attack You Can't See
The most dangerous remote hiring fraud does not involve deepfakes at all. Instead, a real person sits in front of the camera while a second person — the actual "employee" — operates the machine remotely via remote desktop, screen sharing, or a hardware KVM switch.
The face on camera passes every visual check. The voice is real. But the person doing the work is someone else entirely, operating from another location.
PG-Presence closes this attack surface. By monitoring device-level indicators at sub-100ms intervals, it confirms that the verified person is directly operating the machine — not acting as a front for a remote operator.
Traditional liveness checks cannot see these attacks. PG-Presence can.
Works Inside Your Existing Workflow
No new tools for your interviewers. No changes to your ATS. Polyguard integrates natively with the platforms you already use.
Zoom — Native Integration
Polyguard runs inside Zoom as a native app. Interviewers see real-time verification status for every participant directly in the meeting interface. No browser extensions or separate windows.
Microsoft Teams
Full Teams support with the same verification workflow. Identity status is visible to interviewers throughout the call. Works with Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls.
Zero Workflow Changes
Candidates complete their Trust Check before the first interview. From that point forward, every scheduled call automatically verifies their identity. Interviewers see a green verified status — that's it.
No Bots. No Recording. No New Data Liabilities.
Unlike competitors that require meeting bots to join your calls or record sessions for analysis, Polyguard operates through native platform integrations. There are no bots in your meetings, no recordings of your interviews, and no storage of candidate PII on Polyguard servers. Verification happens on the candidate's own device through Polyguard Mobile — your interviewers see a verified status, nothing more.
Compliance and Legal
Built for regulated industries. Designed for legal defensibility.
Transaction Affidavits
Every verification generates a signed Transaction Affidavit with 98%+ biometric confidence scores, PG-Presence attestation, and JWKS zero trust signatures. Admissible as evidence under NY CPLR § 3122-a.
Privacy First
Candidate biometrics never leave their device. Polyguard's Privacy First architecture means no biometric data is stored on servers, transmitted to third parties, or accessible to employers. Verification results are signed tokens — not raw data.
EEOC-Compliant
Polyguard verifies identity, not background. The same verification process applies to every candidate equally, with no access to protected characteristics. Exportable records demonstrate consistent, objective application.
