Get the Real Location. Spot the Masking Tools.
IP Scan & VPN/Proxy Detect ensures you’re hiring candidates who are where they claim to be—and aren’t hiding behind proxies or VPNs to mask their true identity or location.
IP Scan and VPN/Proxy Detect is an advanced fraud detection feature that works in tandem to identify suspicious IP behavior, verify geographic location, and detect the use of tools that mask or alter the candidate's real IP address. This dual-layer solution helps recruiters and hiring teams ensure that the person they’re interviewing is exactly where they say they are and that they are not using proxies or VPNs to hide their true location.
In today’s global hiring environment, location manipulation is becoming a growing concern. Candidates may use VPNs or proxies to circumvent regional job restrictions, manipulate time zone claims, or misrepresent their eligibility for specific roles. With IP Scan & VPN/Proxy Detect, you can verify candidate transparency, improve compliance, and stop location-based fraud before it happens.
Geographic Location Verification (IP Scan)
· Real-time IP geolocation analysis to identify the candidate's true physical location
· Cross-checks the IP location with the candidate’s claimed address, ensuring no discrepancies
· Flags region mismatches that could suggest fraudulent activity, such as applying for a job in a different country than the candidate resides in
· Identifies remote work eligibility issues and compliance risks related to cross-border hiring
VPN & Proxy Usage Detection
· Detects VPNs, TOR networks, and proxies that mask the candidate’s actual location
· Identifies commercial VPN services, personal proxies, and anonymous browsing tools often used to fake geographic locations
· Detects multiple IP changes within a single session, which may indicate the use of proxy or VPN tools
· Provides real-time alerts when VPN or proxy activity is detected, allowing you to take immediate action
Masking Tool Detection
· Identifies remote access tools, screen mirroring apps, or browser-based masking tools that could hide the candidate's real location
· Detects suspicious IP switching and patterns that don’t align with typical user behavior
· Flags high-risk IPs associated with known fraudulent activities or regions with a high incidence of fraud
Suspicious IP Behavior
· Monitors for IP hopping (repeated changes in IP address) that suggest the use of proxies or VPNs
· Detects unusual network patterns or geographic inconsistencies that may point to attempted fraud
· Provides a comprehensive analysis of the candidate’s IP journey, including time zone shifts and access inconsistencies during the interview
