Why now
Your inbox tells the story. Two hundred applications on a single requisition, and every one of them reads like the candidate of the year. Confident summary. Quantified bullets. Clean formatting. Keywords for days.
The polish is universal now — and it's hiding the candidates actually worth your call from the ones who just had ChatGPT make them sound like they are.
You catch the obvious tells. The dates that don't add up. The job title that's almost-but-not-quite right. But the subtler stuff — the company without a real web presence, the school you've never heard of, the public profile that's surprisingly thin — that takes time on every resume. Time you don't have, on every resume.
SmartShield is the resume reality check that fits inside your existing workflow.
Per resume
In your browser
Every finding
What it does
SmartShield checks the parts of a resume that can be cross-referenced against public information — and tells you exactly what it found, with a source you can open in one click.
Searches for business records and public presence for each employer listed, flagging where records couldn't be found during the claimed tenure window.
Looks up institutions against accreditation records. Flags diploma mills, unaccredited programs, and schools that don't match what the resume claims.
Compares titles, employers, and dates on the resume against what the candidate has published about themselves on public professional networks.
Surfaces material concerns from publicly available information — adverse media, public watchlist matches, and identity inconsistencies worth a closer look.
SmartShield activates wherever you read PDFs — your ATS, your inbox, a referral link. No new tools to learn.
Findings appear in seconds, color-coded by severity and tied to the exact text on the resume they refer to.
Click any finding to see its source. Confirm or dismiss in seconds. Move on with confidence.
Quick Setup
SmartShield lives in your browser as a lightweight Chrome extension. No complex IT integrations or server-side setup required — it just works on top of the tools you already use.
Whether you use Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, or a custom system — if you can see a PDF in Chrome, SmartShield can scan it.
Installation takes less than a minute. Log in, open a candidate's profile, and the research panel appears instantly.
Not just your ATS — scan resumes from your email inbox, LinkedIn profiles, or PDF files stored on your computer.
Time saved
Move the sliders to estimate the research time SmartShield reclaims at your weekly volume. Numbers are estimates — actual results depend on your current process.
Estimated time reclaimed
≈ 28 work days reclaimed per year
Assumes a 30-second scan per resume. Reclaimed time gets redirected to higher-value work — interviews, calibration, candidate experience.
The fine print, up front
Hiring decisions remain entirely with you. SmartShield is intended to support your evaluation — not replace your judgment, your interviews, your reference checks, or any background screening required by law or company policy.
Common questions
Different stage, different purpose. Background check services run regulated checks against credit, criminal, and identity databases — typically late in hiring, after consent, and bounded by FCRA and similar laws. SmartShield runs much earlier, during resume review, against publicly available information only. Use it to decide who's worth interviewing; use a proper background check before a hire.
Publicly available sources — the same kinds of records and profiles anyone with internet access could look up themselves. SmartShield queries them comprehensively, presents the results in one place, and links back to each source so you can verify directly. It does not access private databases, paid background-check data, or anything that requires the candidate's consent.
No. SmartShield surfaces findings; you decide what they mean. There is no pass/fail output, no recommendation to hire or reject, and no auto-filtering of candidates from your pipeline. The score and severity labels indicate how much a finding warrants attention — not a verdict on the candidate.
Each finding has a severity (Critical / High / Medium / Info / Verified), a one-line headline, a brief explanation, a confidence score, and a source link. "Verified" findings count too: confirming a school is accredited or that an employer was active is information worth seeing. The corresponding text on the resume is highlighted so you can see exactly what's being referenced.
It will happen. Public information is imperfect — small companies sometimes have no web archive, profiles get outdated, common names produce false matches. Because every finding includes a source link and a confidence score, you can verify in seconds and dismiss anything that doesn't hold up. SmartShield is built to make these checks possible, not to replace your judgment about them.
Yes. SmartShield runs in your browser and activates on any PDF resume — regardless of which ATS, email client, or referral platform it came from. There's nothing for IT to install on the server side. Teams that want findings rendered directly inside their ATS can use the API instead.
