You add cside's single first-party script to your careers or application page, with no DNS change and no change to your applicant tracking system. As each applicant loads the page, cside reads 250+ per-session signals to flag virtual machines, emulators, VPN and residential-proxy use, and the repeat devices behind bulk fake applications, then exposes that risk signal so your ATS can auto-flag, route to enhanced verification, or block before a recruiter spends time on it. Because it identifies the device rather than the identity on the CV, it catches the identity-fabricating applicants that background checks miss.
How much does fraudulent hiring typically cost companies?
The cost of hiring a fraudulent actor extends far beyond wasted salary expenses and in some cases has even bankrupted the victims.
Why are tech companies and government contractors particularly at risk?
Tech companies and government contractors are prime targets because they handle valuable intellectual property, source code, infrastructure credentials and sensitive data that foreign adversaries want to access.
What makes device fingerprinting effective for detecting fake job applicants?
Device fingerprinting analyzes a range of technical signals from each applicant's browser and device to create a unique SHA-256 identifier with high accuracy.
Will cside fingerprinting add latency or block the UI?
No. The fingerprinting script exposes fingerprinting functions on window without affecting rendering, and collection runs asynchronously in the background.
