Genius Match™ announced the commercial availability of Geni™, an AI hiring intelligence platform designed to help organizations manage growing applicant volume, identify authentic candidates, and make better hiring decisions. Geni combines adaptive assessments, candidate authenticity signals, identity verification, and recruiter decision support in one platform.

Built from almost 20 years of Genius Match experience recruiting and placing technical talent, Geni originated from challenges the company encountered firsthand: rapidly increasing applicant volume, AI-assisted applications, growing concerns about candidate authenticity, and giving every qualified candidate meaningful consideration. Genius Match already uses Geni in its own hiring.

These challenges are a growing business risk. Gartner projects that by 2028, one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake, while 41% of IT, cybersecurity, risk and fraud leaders report their organizations have already hired and onboarded a fraudulent candidate.

Geni gives every applicant a focused, 12-minute adaptive conversation, built around the job description and the candidate’s resume, that evaluates skills, qualifications, experience level and cultural fit. Recruiters and hiring managers receive a score grounded in what each candidate demonstrated. Authenticity concerns are flagged for review and never affect the score. Identity verification adds confidence in who they are evaluating. Geni rejects no one on its own. A person makes every hiring decision.

Geni also addresses another consequence of high-volume hiring: candidate experience. Every applicant gets a real response, with personalized feedback, skills insights, and learning resources relevant to the role, whether or not they move forward.

“We built Geni because we were experiencing these challenges ourselves,” said Shaun Poulton, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Genius Match and Product Lead for Geni. “AI has made it easier than ever to apply for jobs, but it has also made it harder for employers to know who is genuinely qualified and an authentic candidate. Geni helps organizations find the best candidates faster while giving every applicant a meaningful experience.”
