What Clarity does

Clarity is a private, venture-backed AI security company that delivers an end-to-end hiring-fraud and deepfake-detection platform targeted at Fortune 500 and large-enterprise Infosec and Talent Acquisition leaders. The company is built around a patented agentic AI architecture in which four coordinated agents — Fraud Screening, Interview Protection, Identity Verification and Employee Lifecycle — operate as a continuous security overlay across the candidate-to-employee journey, detecting AI-generated résumés, deepfaked video and voice in live interviews, bait-and-switch 'mule' proxies and synthetic identities. Detection is delivered via an ensemble AI approach spanning behavioral, identity, biometric and media-pattern analysis across video, audio, image, text and structured-data inputs.

The product portfolio is structured as a core platform plus four named modules: Application Verification (Background Verification), AI Deepfake Detection, Identity Confirmation, and Uncovering Proxy Candidates (AI Cheating Detection), with Clarity Studio as a companion real-time media-analysis sub-product. The platform is embedded as a 'security overlay' inside customers' existing ATS, HRIS, ITSM and identity stacks — Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, ServiceNow, ICIMS, Oracle and OKTA — and pushes risk alerts into Slack, email and SIEM. Compliance certifications (SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act) are publicly listed on the Trust Center to support deployment in regulated environments.

Clarity monetizes via quote-based, multi-year enterprise SaaS subscriptions sold through direct enterprise field sales, with role-segmented buyer funnels (Infosec vs. Talent Acquisition) routing prospects to Calendly demos. The company is headquartered in New York, was founded in 2021 by CEO Michael Matias and CTO Ziv Isaiah, and raised a $16M seed round in February 2024 co-led by Walden Catalyst and Bessemer Venture Partners, with AWS Generative AI Accelerator (2024 cohort) and Intel Ignite as ecosystem affiliations. Named enterprise logos include Goldman Sachs and Deloitte, and advisory boards include Lip-Bu Tan, Alfred Spector, Udi Mokady, Slavik Markovich and Vanessa Pegueros.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise SaaS subscription: Quote-based, contract-driven enterprise SaaS sold to Infosec and Talent Acquisition buyers. Customers access the full platform (background verification, deepfake detection, identity confirmation, proxy-candidate detection) as a continuous security overlay throughout the hiring and employment lifecycle. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — buyers must 'Request a Demo' / 'Talk to an Expert'. Billing cadence and tier pricing are negotiated per engagement (consistent with multi-year enterprise contracts).

Core offering

Clarity sells an enterprise SaaS platform that acts as a security overlay across the candidate-to-employee lifecycle. It uses patented Agentic AI to detect AI-generated CVs, deepfake video and voice interviews, stolen or synthetic identities, and bait-and-switch 'mule' candidates. The platform integrates inside customers' existing ATS, HRIS and identity stacks (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, ServiceNow, ICIMS, Oracle, OKTA) and pushes real-time risk alerts into Slack, email and SIEM.

Product overview

Clarity offers a single unified, end-to-end enterprise-grade platform — the Agentic AI Security Platform — that delivers continuous protection against bad-actors across the entire candidate and employee lifecycle. It is architected as a platform-plus-modules design, with the core platform orchestrating four coordinated agents (Fraud Screening, Interview Protection, Identity Verification, and Employee Lifecycle) and four named solution modules: Application Verification (Background Verification), AI Deepfake Detection, Identity Confirmation, and Uncovering Proxy Candidates (AI Cheating Detection). The platform operates as a security overlay inside customer ATS, HRIS, and ITSM systems — integrating with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, ServiceNow, ICIMS, Oracle, and OKTA — and emits real-time alerts via Slack, email, and SIEM. A companion sub-product, Clarity Studio, provides real-time media analysis and deepfake detection with a clear confidence score, and the offering is supported by a Trust Center covering SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and EU AI Act compliance.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Application Verification (Background Verification) Uses advanced AI to cross-analyze behavioral, identity and media patterns to spot signals of manipulation and deception at the application stage, catching fake personas, fabricated work histories, AI-generated CVs and dark web signals before recruiters ever speak with bad-actors.
• AI Deepfake Detection Ensemble AI technology that examines facial movements, lip-syncing, eye motions, voice patterns and generative artifacts in real time during live video and audio interviews to expose deepfake attempts, AI masks and voice clones across platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet.
• Identity Confirmation Combines behavioral signals, biometric proof, liveness tests, interview recordings and government IDs to deliver continuous identity verification that blocks mules, AI-driven identity theft and stolen/fake IDs directly inside the hiring process.
• Uncovering Proxy Candidates (AI Cheating Detection) Performs continuous biometric verification throughout hiring and onboarding by analyzing the facial structure and unique vocal signature of each candidate to expose bait-and-switch 'mule' or proxy interviewers, creating a persistent biometric link to the candidate's identity.
• Clarity Agentic AI Security Platform The patented unified agentic AI platform that coordinates four security agents (Fraud Screening, Interview Protection, Identity Verification, Employee Lifecycle) across the full hiring and employment journey, operating as a non-disruptive overlay inside ATS/HRIS/ITSM systems.
• Clarity Studio Real-time media analysis and deepfake detection platform that ingests live or recorded video and returns a confidence score indicating whether the media is real or synthetic; demonstrated analyzing Iranian deepfakes and synthetic North Korean candidate videos.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Pindrop: Voice authentication, liveness, and deepfake/voice-clone detection platform used in contact center and security use cases. Overlaps with Clarity's speech and audio analysis for voice-clone and proxy-candidate detection.
• Reality Defender: Real-time deepfake and synthetic media detection platform serving enterprises, government and media. Most direct competitor to Clarity's AI deepfake detection and Clarity Studio capabilities, targeting the same category-defining opportunity.
• Sensity AI: Deepfake detection and AI-generated content forensics platform. Closely comparable to Clarity on the core deepfake/media authenticity detection capability, though Sensity's historical focus has been broader KYC and content moderation.
• Persona: Enterprise identity verification and fraud-prevention platform with deep ATS/HRIS distribution. Most directly comparable to Clarity's Identity Confirmation and Application Verification modules, often evaluated in the same buyer conversations.
• iProov: Biometric facial verification and liveness detection provider, with patented deepfake-resistant technology. Comparable to Clarity's continuous biometric / proxy-candidate detection and identity confirmation offerings.

Emerging players

• Hive: AI moderation and deepfake/image-generation detection vendor with API-accessible models. Comparable to Clarity's ensemble AI detection approach, primarily delivered to enterprise and platform customers.
• ID.me: Digital identity and verification network with strong biometric and liveness capabilities. Comparable to Clarity's identity confirmation, particularly for high-assurance workforce and government-adjacent use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Checkr: Leading enterprise background-check and identity platform, deeply integrated into major ATSs. Overlaps with Clarity's Application Verification and is increasingly adding fraud and AI-risk signals, making it a broad incumbent in the same buyer category.
• Onfido (Entrust): Global identity verification platform owned by Entrust, providing KYC and biometric checks to enterprise customers. Comparable to Clarity's identity confirmation layer, with broader geographic and product footprint.
• HireRight: Large incumbent background-screening and identity services provider serving global enterprises. Competes with Clarity in the application verification and pre-hire identity layer, with a much broader services-led model.
