Candidate fraud research
Investigate identity inconsistencies and fabricated history before investing more time in an application.
For hiring & security teams
Know who’s behind the application.
A convincing résumé is a starting point. Research the identity behind it, compare the claims with public evidence, and give your team better questions before the interview.

From the field
Already part of the hiring conversation.
Casco uses Sixtyfour to flag adverse media and résumé inaccuracies before getting on a call. The workflow starts with research that hiring and security teams can review together.
“We see fake North Korean workers apply to Casco. Sixtyfour flags adverse media and resume inaccuracies before we ever get on a call.”
Rene BrandelCEO and founder, CascoWorkforce identity
The interview starts after the identity story.
A constructed identity can arrive with polished credentials and a confident interview. Research the professional footprint behind the application: when it appeared, what corroborates it, and where the story conflicts. A missing record is a question to resolve, not a verdict.

Identity verification, and the question it leaves open
Identity verification software proves a document is real and belongs to the person holding it. Whether the history on the application is real is a separate question — and it is the second one a constructed identity is built to pass.
Identity verification software
- What it answers
- Checks a government ID against a live face. Strong evidence that a document is genuine and present.
What Sixtyfour adds- Researches whether the person behind that verified document has the history they claim: employers, timelines, and a presence that predates the application.
Background checks
- What it answers
- Searches criminal, court and employment records against a name and date of birth.
- What Sixtyfour adds
- Answers what a clean record cannot. When an identity is borrowed from someone real, the record comes back clean because the record is theirs.
Both are worth running. Sixtyfour is what runs beside them, before anyone books the first call.
A little more context
Questions, answered.
Does a limited online presence mean a candidate is fake?
No. Privacy choices, career changes and uneven source coverage can all produce a limited footprint. Missing evidence should remain unresolved and be considered with other information and the candidate’s explanation.
Does this replace employment background screening?
Sixtyfour provides identity research and supporting evidence. Use it within your established hiring review process, alongside any required screening, consent and candidate review procedures.
Can we investigate contractors as well as employees?
Yes. The research can start from a contractor’s known identifiers and professional claims. Our team can help map the output to the questions your reviewers need answered.
