Together, CLEAR1 and Greenhouse will deliver an unprecedented layer of trust with a reusable identity, making candidate verification effortless and secure for organizations and applicants alike.
Recruiters today face overwhelming candidate pipelines driven by remote work, economic uncertainty, and AI-fueled mass applications.

With CLEAR1 embedded directly into Greenhouse workflows, teams will be able to verify candidates securely and efficiently. For candidates, the experience is as simple as snapping a selfie within their MyGreenhouse profile.
“Greenhouse is committed to giving organizations confidence that every hire is the right hire,” said Daniel Chait, CEO of Greenhouse. “CLEAR is the gold standard of identity verification. By integrating it into Real Talent, candidates can have a fast and secure way to verify their identity, and customers can trust that their candidate pipelines are filled with real people—not bad actors.”
“At CLEAR, we believe that identity is foundational to trust,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. “In an age where AI can create fake candidates as easily as real ones, our partnership with Greenhouse helps ensure that every applicant is a real person. By integrating CLEAR1 into the hiring process, we’re giving employers peace of mind—and real people a faster, more secure way to prove who they are.”
With CLEAR1, Greenhouse Real Talent will enable:
- An integrated approach to identity that matches a candidate’s selfie to their government-issued ID and corroborates details across trusted sources
