Auguste by BlazeTalent

The candidate data firewall. Verify candidate signals and detect anomalies in real-time.

Auguste: Recruiter-First Candidate Intelligence Auguste verifies candidate data consistency in real time — before your next phone screen, not after. Think of it as a lightweight firewall for your recruiting workflow. Auguste checks whether the digital signals a candidate provides — resume, phone number, professional profiles — line up the way they should. When they don't, you know in seconds. AUGUSTE 2.9 — RELEASE NOTES (October 2026) ## AI-provenance detection Auguste now reads Content Credentials (C2PA), the signed "made by AI" label that ChatGPT and other AI tools embed in the files they create. See which tool made a resume, whether its signature is trusted, and whether the file was edited after signing. ## AI style fingerprints New checks spot the visual tells of AI-built resumes, even when the metadata has been wiped. ## A clearer Anomaly Score We've redesigned the analysis screen from the ground up. Every point in the score is now explained, area by area, with the biggest risks up top. ## Safe to open any file Every upload opens in an isolated safety sandbox, so a malicious file is stopped before it can cause harm. ## Updated Privacy Policy Our Privacy Policy now reflects our move to Anthropic's models for resume analysis. ## Stability & polish Under-the-hood improvements for a faster, more reliable review, including better layouts in browsers that open extensions in a wider window. ## CORE CAPABILITIES **Resume and Profile Consistency Checks** Drag and drop a PDF resume for a real-time consistency review. **Resume Metadata Analysis** Auguste reads the underlying structure of PDF resumes and surfaces signals invisible to the naked eye — how a resume was created, not just what it says: - Programmatic generation detection: flags resumes built with automated PDF libraries instead of standard word processors. - Regional software signals: detects file signatures from region-specific software that may not match a candidate's stated location. - Operating system anomalies: flags rare or inconsistent OS fingerprints embedded in the file structure. **Professional Presence Validation** Confirms a public professional footprint exists that matches the candidate's stated background and work history. **LinkedIn URL Resolution** Verifies LinkedIn links resolve to active, matching profiles. **Email Signal Analysis** Distinguishes established email accounts from newly created or recycled aliases. **Phone and Carrier Signal Analysis** Identifies line type — separating standard mobile numbers from VoIP numbers commonly used to mask identity — and reveals the underlying carrier. **Anomaly Scoring** Aggregates every signal into a single Anomaly Score so you know exactly when a profile deserves a deeper look. ## BUILT FOR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN **Zero Data Retention** All candidate data is processed in memory and discarded immediately. Auguste never stores, archives, or resells resumes or personal data. **Encrypted, Stateless Processing** Analysis runs through secure, encrypted infrastructure with no persistent user or candidate tracking. ## WHY RECRUITERS USE AUGUSTE **Spot inconsistencies early.** Identify high-anomaly profiles before you schedule the call or submit the candidate. **Protect trust and integrity.** Add a technical validation layer to your process without slowing it down. **Zero workflow friction.** No dashboards, no logins. Open the extension and get clarity in seconds. Auguste works where you already work. ## COMPLIANCE AND RESPONSIBLE USE Auguste is a technical signal provider, not a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). It does not perform background checks or make hiring decisions. The Anomaly Score reflects data consistency, not candidate intent — it supports recruiter judgment, never replaces it.
