ORACLE HCM · AI AGENT PROFILE

Candidate Authenticity Assessment Agent

Looks at new and updated candidate profiles, and candidates with confirmed job applications, and classifies each one as suspicious or not suspicious, to help spot fraudulent, bot-generated or otherwise suspicious applications. It evaluates candidate information, CVs, screening results and available risk signals. Flagged candidates get a banner and an authenticity summary on their profile and job applications.

Where it helps

A burst of near-identical applications arrives for a remote role. The agent flags several as suspicious, and a recruiter reviews each summary before deciding what to do.

My take

MY PRACTITIONER VIEW

Fake and bot applications are a real problem, so this is welcome. But "suspicious" is a label a real person will carry, so agree how recruiters check and clear it before you switch it on.

What it won't do

  • Oracle says it doesn't automatically reject, advance, rank or otherwise decide candidate outcomes.
  • Once a candidate is marked suspicious, it doesn't rerun for them, and cleared statuses aren't re-evaluated automatically.
  • It re-evaluates only when a profile is updated or the last evaluation is more than five years old.
  • Oracle doesn't list the specific signals it uses.

Good first agent?

No. It labels real people, so it needs your most mature review process.

Risk level: Higher. It labels real people as suspicious, which can shape how they're treated, even though it doesn't decide outcomes.

Before you switch it on

  1. Who reviews flags, and how quickly?
  2. What do you need to see before acting on a flag, and how is clearing one recorded?
  3. Have your legal and data protection teams reviewed it, including how you'd explain a flag to a candidate?

Next steps

Setup at a glance

Open Setup at a glance for the setup steps. Select the agent's type label to see what that type means.

Test it after each update

For Oracle Fusion Applications, non-production (test) quarterly updates follow the weekend after the first Friday of the update month; production follows the weekend after the third Friday. Run these checks after the test update and before production, and verify your tenant's exact dates in Oracle update notifications.

  • Run it on test candidates and have a person review every flag.
  • Clear a flag and check the profile and applications update together.
  • Check that users without the clear privilege can't clear one.

Watch out

Turning it off hides its screens, including the Authenticity filter, but keeps existing data. Don't confuse it with the confidence score in the Job Applicant Screening Agent (26A): this is a separate agent with its own setup.

Job Applicant Screening Agent

An assistant for recruiters and hiring teams, opened from a job application. It brings together status, history, interview feedback, scores, assessments and background checks. From 26A it can also give a candidate-authenticity confidence score.

Recruiting inbox agents

Two agents that work on your recruiting mailbox. The Inbox Response Agent (26B) answers candidates' emails using your policy and process documents, in the language the candidate wrote in, and passes anything it can't answer to the recruiter. The Inbox Document Processing Agent (26C) takes attachments from candidate emails, sorts them into your document types, and saves a copy to the candidate profile or job application.
