Trustume Surpasses 1 Million Candidates and Expands Interview Fraud Protection for Enterprise Hiring

Dallas, TX – October 28, 2026 – Trustume, the verification-first talent platform powered by EPSoft, announced that its TalentVault database has surpassed 1 million candidate profiles within six months of launch while significantly expanding its AI-powered interview integrity capabilities to help enterprises and staffing organizations address candidate impersonation, proxy interviews, identity fraud, deepfake manipulation, and unauthorized AI-assisted interview responses. As generative AI continues to reshape recruiting, Trustume enables organizations to establish trust earlier in the hiring lifecycle through identity verification, credential validation, employment history verification, and interview authenticity monitoring. Unlike traditional applicant tracking systems or job boards, Trustume integrates with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Vendor Management Systems (VMS), allowing employers to verify candidate credentials before critical hiring decisions are made. Additional milestones include the growth of TrustPool to more than 18,000 verified professionals whose identities, employment histories, and credentials have been validated through Trustume's verification process, as well as a network of more than 300 active recruiters who leverage the platform to identify and engage trusted talent for enterprise opportunities. The announcement includes statements from Phaneendranath Kasibhatla, SVP Talent Strategy at EPSoft, who emphasized the growing need for trust, transparency, and accountability in AI-driven recruiting, and Vidyadhar Mylabathula, Chief Product Officer at Trustume, who highlighted the company's vision of creating a trust layer for modern hiring through explainable trust signals and real-time interview integrity insights. Trustume also continues to enhance its AI-powered detection models through behavioral analysis and industry feedback, while expanding strategic partnerships, enterprise integrations, and recruiter adoption initiatives to help organizations reduce hiring fraud, strengthen hiring integrity, improve recruiter productivity, increase confidence in candidate submissions, and accelerate talent acquisition outcomes.
