Greenhouse Arrives in Australia as Talent Teams Face a Surge in AI-Generated Candidate Fraud

Greenhouse has expanded into Australia, opening an office in Sydney to support its growing client base in the region.

Daniel Chait, Chief Executive Officer at Greenhouse, said “Establishing a physical presence in Sydney is a major growth milestone for us. For the past decade we have built an impressive client base across Australia. We currently have over 200 customers in the region, and we have worked with numerous high-growth Australian brands such as The Iconic and VGW. We also have several local business partners such as Xref, Remote and HiBob. Australia currently accounts for a third of our APAC business, and this investment signifies our commitment to helping our local customers achieve their business goals using our platform.”

While Greenhouse expands its physical presence, it’s also stepping up to help us tackle one of hiring’s newest headaches: fake applications generated by AI.

Fake Applications, Meet AI Vetting: Greenhouse Real Talent

According to Gartner, by 2028, 25% of job applicants will be fake job applicants. Some candidates now use bots to mass-apply to jobs, using AI co-pilot tools during interviews, impersonating identities with deepfake videos and cloned voices, and outsourcing live interviews to more qualified proxies.

This is no longer just an inconvenience – it’s a security and quality issue for organisations.

Partnering with U.S. identity verification company CLEAR, Greenhouse has launched a new product called Greenhouse Real Talent, an AI-enabled platform designed to detect fake or fraudulent job applications. The product works in three ways:

  1. Filter for fit. Real Talent uses advanced AI to compare applications with job criteria – automatically highlighting candidates who actually match the role’s requirements.
  2. Stop spam and fraud. Sophisticated algorithms detect bots, fake job applicants, mass applications, and patterns that suggest deception or impersonation.
  3. Catch cheating and misrepresentation. Real Talent flags inconsistencies and unusual behaviours during the hiring process, so teams can be confident they’re hiring real, qualified people, not fake job seekers or digital impostors.

Real Talent joins Greenhouse’s integrated suite of tools from AI-powered workflows for sourcing and interviewing, to reports and analytics for smarter decision-making, all while embedding DEI principles deeply within these hiring practices.

With only a 7-month payback on investment and a 589% three-year return on investment, Greenhouse makes a welcome addition to the local talent tech community with the ability to service both the SME and Enterprise market.

You’ll see Greenhouse live on stage as they join the Talent Community at ATC2025.

At a time when tech is advancing rapidly, it’s tempting to keep adding. But the most future-ready teams I know are doing the opposite. They’re auditing. They’re simplifying. They’re choosing tools that align with their process, not contorting their process to fit a platform. They understand that great recruitment isn’t about toolkits. It’s about clarity of thought. About process discipline. About being intentional at every stage
Right now, there is a lot of change in recruitment. New tools are arriving fast. AI is already part of our world. But I believe one thing stays true. Great recruitment still comes down to people. It comes down to how we listen, how we ask, how we plan and how we show up.
Discover how talent teams can future-proof strategy by using structured prompts to decode industry trends and uncover actionable insight. This TWIT reveals a powerful prompt used to analyse shifting trends, align workforce planning, and shape business decisions - ideal for HR, TA, and strategy leaders ready to lead with foresight, not hindsight.
