Know which past roles are real, before the interview.
Get an independent credibility signal on past employment in minutes, without contacting a single third party. See which roles are corroborated, who the candidate connected with, and what their professional network looks like. Powered by the candidate's own data.
The gap between what candidates claim and what is real
A majority of candidates admit to exaggerating on their CV, and generative AI is making it easier than ever. Traditional reference checks are slow, happen late in the process, and are often skipped entirely. A single bad senior hire can cost tens of thousands.
CV exaggeration is accelerating
From inflated titles to fabricated roles, CV exaggeration is widespread. Generative AI makes it faster and harder to detect than ever.
Reference checks come too late
They happen at the end of the pipeline, after weeks of interviews and negotiation. By then, a bad hire already has momentum.
No early, objective tools exist
Verifying employment claims before an interview means manual effort, scattered tools, and no structured process. Most teams skip it entirely.
Alibly changes that
Get a reference-like signal that a candidate actually worked somewhere, and understand who they connected with while they were there. No phone calls, no waiting, no reliance on chosen referees.
How it works
Three simple steps from your desk. No third parties involved.
Add a candidate
Create an Alibly check in under a minute. The candidate receives an email invitation.
Candidate authorises
The candidate reviews what data is shared, consents, and authorises access to their professional network data through secure, official channels.
Review the report
Alibly uses AI to analyse connection patterns, classify the candidate's professional network, and deliver a clear, visual report showing which roles are socially corroborated and what their network actually looks like.
Data is accessed through the candidate's own EU data portability rights. No data is shared without their explicit consent.
What you get
Each Alibly check delivers a visual report with multiple layers of insight.
Social corroboration
An assessment of connection history and timing at each claimed employer, indicating whether the role is backed by social proof.

Network composition per role
AI-powered classification of who the candidate connected with at each employer: their seniority levels and professional functions. The report also includes a full-network view showing sector, seniority, and function distributions across the candidate's entire career.

CV vs LinkedIn alignment
Upload a candidate's CV and compare every position against their professional network data. Instantly spot where dates diverge, titles differ, or a role appears on only one source.
CV vs LinkedIn alignment
Positions extracted from the uploaded CV using AI. Minor date variations may reflect rounding differences.
Built for recruiters
Flag roles that lack expected social trace before you invest in interviews, not weeks later during background checks.
Candidates control what is shared. The transparent, consent-first design builds trust rather than friction.
See whether the candidate connected with managers and executives, or mostly interns. Understand the professional functions and sectors around them. Get a richer picture of each role beyond just "they were there."
Upload a candidate's CV and instantly see where positions match their professional network data, where dates diverge, and where roles appear on only one source.
Beyond individual roles, see the overall shape of a candidate's professional network: which sectors, what seniority levels, which functions. One view across their entire career.
Alibly does not replace interviews or reference checks. It strengthens the step that already exists: assessing whether past employment claims are credible.
Built for trust, from the ground up
GDPR and DMA compliant
Alibly is built to meet EU data protection and digital markets regulations from day one.
Consent-first
No data is accessed without the candidate's explicit, informed consent.
Data minimisation
Raw connection data is never stored. Only anonymised, derived metrics are retained for the duration of the recruitment process.
AI assists, humans decide
Alibly uses AI to classify professional data and extract CV positions, but never produces a hiring recommendation or automated decision. All outputs are clearly labeled as estimates.
Official data access
All data is accessed through the Member Data Portability API under the EU Digital Markets Act. Alibly does not scrape, crawl, or access data outside official APIs.
Transparent AI
AI is used for data classification and extraction only. No personal identifiers are sent to AI services. All AI outputs are labeled as estimates in your reports.
First-mover on DMA data portability
Alibly is built on the EU Digital Markets Act's data portability provisions -- a new regulatory framework that creates a compliant, consent-based channel for accessing professional network data.
