The Applicant You Never Met May Not Exist.
Fabricated resumes. Borrowed identities. AI interview avatars. Remote hiring quietly became one of the easiest places for fraud to enter a business. Ontrac closes that gap.

Two Layers. One Clean Answer.
Scout
Our AI screening system flags fabrication before you waste an interview slot.
PinPoint Verify
A notarized, in-person ID check behind every finalist — confirming they're real and located in the U.S.
The Problem
Fraud Scaled Up Faster Than Hiring Did.
When the interview, the paperwork, and day one all happen over a screen, the friction that used to expose a bad actor disappears. No lobby. No handshake. No ID checked at a front desk.
Fabricated Candidates
Resumes, work histories, and profiles manufactured to pass a keyword scan, not to describe a real person.
Identity Mismatch
The person who interviews isn't the person who shows up to work, or the person whose credentials were submitted.
Credential Inflation At Scale
Automated tooling lets one bad actor generate dozens of polished, plausible applications for a single role.
"You cannot screen for authenticity by rewarding polish."
Scout: AI Screening That Assumes Nothing.
A clean-looking application is a starting point, not a verdict. Scout treats every promising candidate as a claim to be tested.
We keep the specific signals and thresholds Scout uses out of public materials. Happy to walk qualified clients through more detail under NDA.
PinPoint Verify: Confirming The Person Is Real, In Person.
Software can tell you an application is credible. It can't shake the candidate's hand. This is the last mile, physically confirming that the human joining your team is who, and where, they claim to be. Run in tandem with established background-check technology.
-
Step 1
In-Person Visit
Candidate visits a UPS or FedEx store to complete the check in person.
-
Step 2
Notary Inspection
A notary physically inspects and certifies the government ID on site.
-
Step 3
Direct Shipment
The ID ships directly from that location to PinPoint Verify.
-
Step 4
U.S. Confirmation
Confirms the candidate is physically located inside the U.S.
What This Looks Like In Practice.
Not theoretical. A sample of what our process has already stopped.
AI Avatars
On four separate occasions, our screening flagged that the “candidate” on a live interview wasn't a human being at all, but a synthetic avatar.
Location Mismatch
A candidate seemed unmistakably local. One flag in the Trust Check said otherwise. On interview day they didn't show; the callback routed to a call center.
Resume Forensics
On a recent search, roughly half of the top-scored applicants turned out to be manufactured — polished on the surface, but the Trust Check couldn't corroborate any of it.
Footprint Check
A polished, credible-looking application with no corroborating footprint behind it. A claim without proof doesn't advance.
Live Skills
A “senior” engineer who couldn't walk through concepts they claimed to use daily. When the interview diverges from the resume, Scout flags the gap.
