Deepfake candidates in virtual interviews
Recruiters are now facing a new wave of synthetic applicants — fake candidates using AI-generated faces, voices, or even live proxies to impersonate real professionals. In Pindrop’s own data, 1 in 6 applicants showed signs of fraud, and 1 in 4 DPRK-linked candidates used a deepfake during live interviews. Pulse verifies both the “real human” and “right human,” authenticating voices and detecting face swaps before a bad hire compromises your systems.
Fraudulent authorizations
Deepfakes have already triggered multimillion-dollar corporate losses — like a finance worker who wired $25 million after attending a video meeting with deepfake versions of his CFO and team. Pulse instantly analyzes speech and video in real time to identify impersonation attempts, ensuring that every decision made in a call comes from the right person.
Fake employees and insider threats
Nation-state actors have begun using synthetic identities to infiltrate corporate meetings, seeking access to IP or internal strategy sessions. Pindrop’s research shows 1 in 343 fake applicants were linked to North Korea, with many using manipulated video or VPNs to mask their true location. Pulse flags these anomalies through continuous location intelligence, alerting teams when a participant’s signal doesn’t match their claimed geography.
