Dallas, TX – October 24, 2026 – Trustume, the verification-first talent platform powered by EPSoft, today announced that its TalentVault database has surpassed one million candidate profiles within six months of launch. The company also expanded its interview integrity capabilities to help enterprises and staffing firms address a growing challenge in modern recruiting: AI-assisted candidate impersonation, proxy interviews, and identity fraud throughout the hiring process.
As generative AI continues to transform recruiting, employers face increasing difficulty validating candidate identities, qualifications, and authenticity. Trustume was built to help staffing organizations and enterprise hiring teams establish trust earlier in the recruiting lifecycle through candidate verification, credential validation, and interview integrity monitoring.
Rather than functioning as a traditional applicant tracking system or job board, Trustume integrates into existing ATS and Vendor Management System (VMS) environments, enabling organizations to verify candidate credentials before critical hiring decisions are made. By moving verification earlier in the hiring process, organizations can reduce risk, improve recruiter productivity, and increase confidence in candidate submissions.
In just six months, Trustume has achieved several significant platform milestones:
TalentVault, Trustume's candidate repository, has surpassed 1 million candidate profiles, providing employers access to a rapidly growing talent ecosystem.
TrustPool, Trustume's verified talent network, now includes more than 18,000 professionals whose employment histories, credentials, and identities have been validated through Trustume's verification process.
A growing network of more than 300 recruiters actively leverages TrustPool to identify and engage verified talent for enterprise opportunities.
"The recruiting industry is facing a trust challenge unlike anything we've seen before," said Phaneendranath Kasibhatla, SVP Talent Strategy at EPSoft. "While AI is creating tremendous opportunities for talent acquisition, it is also making it easier to misrepresent identities, credentials, and interview performance. Employers and staffing firms need greater confidence in the authenticity of the candidates they engage. Trustume was built to help organizations restore trust in hiring by bringing verification, transparency, and accountability to every stage of the recruiting process."

In addition to pre-hire verification, Trustume has expanded its platform to address risks that emerge during the interview process. Trustume's Real-Time Interview Integrity capabilities help recruiters identify potential indicators of identity impersonation, proxy interviewing, deepfake manipulation, and unauthorized AI-assisted responses during virtual interviews, enabling additional review before hiring decisions are made.

To address increasingly sophisticated fraud techniques, Trustume continuously enhances its AI-powered detection models using industry feedback and behavioral analysis. The platform provides recruiters with transparent signals and supporting evidence for review, helping organizations make more informed hiring decisions without disrupting candidate experience.

"Traditional hiring systems were designed to manage recruiting workflows, not to verify trust in an AI-driven hiring landscape," said Vidyadhar Mylabathula, Chief Product Officer at Trustume. "Our vision is to build a trust layer for modern recruiting that helps organizations validate identity, credentials, and interview authenticity throughout the hiring journey. By providing explainable trust signals and real-time interview integrity insights, we empower recruiters and hiring managers to make faster, more confident decisions while maintaining a positive experience for genuine candidates."

As Trustume continues its growth, the company is expanding strategic partnerships, enterprise integrations, and recruiter adoption initiatives to help organizations strengthen hiring integrity while accelerating talent acquisition outcomes.
