- Problem: AI agents mass-tailoring applications overwhelm pipelines; legacy CAPTCHAs can't stop browser-based agents. Ashby's analysis of 100M+ applications highlights the noise.
- How it works: candidates scan a QR code on their own phone; hardware attestation blocks emulators and automation, with results fed back into existing ATS workflows. Most customers go live in under an hour.
- Goal: stop fake candidates across the employee lifecycle, including impersonation schemes. Free trial available.
