The Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA) is pleased to announce that GetReal Security has joined as a Silver Partner. Purpose-built by domain experts across cybersecurity, digital forensics, artificial intelligence and computer vision, GetReal Security protects humans behind the screen from AI-powered deepfakes and deceptive digital identities.
Applicant fraud is no longer a peripheral concern. According to the 2026 RPO Buyer Trends Study, 22% of employers rank it as their top challenge this year — making them twice as concerned about fraud as they are about market uncertainty. For RPO providers managing high-volume, remote and global hiring programs, that signal is hard to ignore.
AI-generated synthetic identities, deepfake video interviews and manipulated credentials are active vulnerabilities in enterprise hiring pipelines. A single fraudulent hire at the executive or technical level carries consequences that extend well beyond the cost of a bad placement.
GetReal Security serves enterprises, governments, news organizations and social media platforms with advanced solutions to verify and authenticate digital content files and secure real-time communication streams. The company was incubated by Ballistic Ventures, the venture capital firm dedicated exclusively to cybersecurity innovation, and co-developed with Dr. Hany Farid, the world's foremost expert in digital media forensics.
GetReal delivers verified trust — the kind that holds up in the boardroom, newsroom and courtroom.
Employers turn to their RPO partners for domain expertise and expect confidence in the integrity of the hiring process. GetReal Security helps protect that integrity with forensic-grade verification across the candidate journey. For RPO firms serving regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government contracting) that capability is fast becoming a compliance expectation.
"Protecting the integrity of the hiring process is foundational to everything RPO providers do," said Lamees Abourahma, CEO of RPOA. "The 2026 Buyer Trends data makes clear that applicant fraud is a top-of-mind risk. GetReal Security brings a purpose-built solution for a hiring challenge that is likely to escalate with easier access to AI technology by candidates."
"The RPO community manages some of the most complex hiring environments in the world,” said Matt Moynahan, CEO at GetReal Security. "As AI-generated threats grow more sophisticated, verified trust at every stage of the hiring process becomes essential, and this community stands on the front lines. We look forward to contributing to the conversation and serving the RPOA community."
As a Silver Partner, GetReal Security will engage with RPOA members and share its thought leadership on applicant fraud through the association's many AI literacy programs and networking opportunities.
