Getting started
What Elsin is, setting up a workspace, connecting your ATS and bringing in your team.
- What Elsin isElsin checks that every applicant is a real, unique person, and that the person you hire is the person who applied.
- Create a workspaceA workspace is your organisation on Elsin: its members, jobs, candidates, settings and plan.
- Connect your ATSConnect Greenhouse or Ashby in a few minutes, so Elsin verifies their candidates and writes the result back.
- Invite your teamInvite colleagues by email and give each a role that matches what they do in hiring.
Verification
Each check from application to day one, the signals behind a verdict, and how your team reviews them.
- How verification worksElsin checks a little at every stage, so real candidates barely notice and fakes meet a check at each step.
- At apply: passive signalsEvery application is scored on signals the candidate never sees, with no extra step for them.
- At shortlist: ID and face checkOne check on the candidate's own phone reads their ID, confirms a live person and matches the face to the ID photo.
- At interview: face continuityBefore an interview, the candidate scans the same ID again so you know the person on the call is the one who verified.
- At offer: work historyAn optional check that the jobs a candidate claims are real, using free evidence rather than payroll data.
- On day oneA short check on the first day confirms the person starting is the person who applied and verified.
- Risk signalsEvery signal Elsin can raise, what it weighs, and which ones send a candidate to review on their own.
- VerdictsEach candidate carries one of five verdicts, with the reasons behind it one click away.
- The review queueEveryone Elsin flags lands in one queue, where a person on your team decides what happens next.
- Manual ID reviewAnyone who cannot or will not scan their face can send a photo of their ID for a person to check instead.
- The shared fraud networkA fake caught at one employer is flagged at the others, without any employer seeing another's candidates.
- Flag, never rejectNo code path in Elsin rejects a person. The most a signal can do is ask a person on your team to look.
For candidates
What applicants see, what they agree to, what employers learn, and the portal where they manage it.
- What candidates seeApplying takes no account and no extra steps. Checks come later, only as a candidate moves forward.
- ConsentThe camera never starts until the candidate has read what the check does and agreed.
- What employers seeEmployers see a verdict and its reasons. Faces, ID numbers and other employers' records never reach them.
- Verify once, apply anywhereOne check counts at every employer on Elsin for 12 months.
- The candidate portalAt /me, a candidate sees every application, their verification, what is waiting for them, and their data.
