Identity Vault · Live now

Blind by default. Revealed on your terms.

Every candidate stays a Callsign until an Owner reveals them, with a reason recorded against their name and an entry in the audit trail. No silent lookups, no shared spreadsheet of names floating around your team.

For hiring teams

Phantom ATS takes care of everything in the background

A full hiring workflow, running quietly behind every project.

AI Hiring Blueprint

Turns a job description into a structured brief: must-haves, nice-to-haves, and what good actually looks like.

Candidate Intelligence

AI-generated highlights and skill matches for every candidate, built from a fully redacted CV.

Pre-Screen Assessments

Fit ratings, gaps, and suggested questions before you ever pick up the phone.

Identity Vault & Blind Hiring

Real identities stay encrypted and Owner-gated, with every reveal logged and reasoned.

One-Click Purge

Burn a project and everything tied to it: resumes, AI notes, identities. All destroyed for good.

Historic Vault & Audit Trail

A permanent, non-identifying record of every purge and every access, proof without the exposure.

Team Roles & Permissions

Five distinct roles decide who can reveal an identity, who can purge, and who just hires.

Recruiter Dashboard

Live projects, candidates in process, and a Phantom Action list of exactly what needs your attention next.

The Burn · Live now

Close the role. Burn the project. Get an audit certificate.

One click permanently destroys every resume, sanitized CV, AI note and identity tied to a project, then produces a certificate proving exactly what was destroyed and when, without a single re-identifiable detail in it.

Built for hiring that can't be seen

Phantom Hire was designed for the moments a hire can't hit the grapevine: a confidential leadership change, a sensitive government role, a poach from a rival, a restructuring the market isn't ready for yet.

How it works

One platform, from first job description to the moment the project no longer exists.

01

Open a role

Phantom reads the job description, builds an AI Hiring Blueprint, and aligns you with the hiring manager on what actually matters.

02

Add candidates

Each candidate is issued a Callsign the moment they're added. Their CV is sanitized and vault-encrypted automatically, no manual redaction required.

03

Screen with AI

Candidate Intelligence, fit ratings, pre-screen assessments and hand-off notes for the hiring manager, generated without a single real name in sight.

04

Close the loop

Make your hire, then burn the project. Every resume, identity and record goes with Phantom. Only the critical, non-identifying facts stay behind in the Historic Vault.

Built by security professionals and TA specialists, not theorists

Security, by the people who've lived it

Phantom Hire is built by a team of industry-leading security professionals alongside Talent Acquisition specialists with over ten years of hands-on hiring experience. They know exactly what a hiring pipeline collects, and exactly why it shouldn't keep it.

Vault-encrypted identities

Candidate PII never sits in the day-to-day workspace. It's encrypted the moment it's collected.

Owner-gated reveals

Only an Owner can reveal a candidate's identity, and only with a reason recorded against their name.

Role-based access

Five distinct roles, from Owner to Interviewer, decide exactly what each person on your team can see and do.

Tenant-isolated by design

Every query is scoped to your company at the database level, with no shared table to misconfigure.

Built for both sides of the hire

Zero-Retention isn't a feature bolted onto a normal ATS. It's the reason Phantom Hire exists. The less a platform holds onto, the less there is for anyone to lose, leak, or misuse. Here's what that principle actually delivers, depending on which side of the hire you're on.

For hiring teams

  • End-to-end encrypted workflow. Every candidate record moves through your pipeline encrypted at rest, decrypted only for an Owner, only for a stated reason, only for as long as it takes.
  • Fit ranking your team can trust at a glance. Every candidate is scored Strong, Good, Possible or Weak Fit the moment their CV lands, so screening time goes to the right conversations first.
  • Nothing left to subpoena. When a search closes, there's no residual database of names, CVs or notes sitting around waiting to become tomorrow's liability.
  • Zero-Trust access as standard. Every teammate signs in with MFA, and high-risk moves like revealing an identity, purging a project, or inviting a teammate require a fresh password-and-code check, no exceptions. See, and revoke, every signed-in device from your Security Centre.

For candidates

  • A Passport, not a profile. Your Phantom Passport travels with you across every role you explore, private by default, revealed only when you choose.
  • Matched on skill, not visibility. AI matching finds roles that fit what you can actually do, not what a keyword search happens to catch.
  • Explore under Shadow, our anonymous talent network, where you exist as a Callsign until the moment you decide to step forward.
  • Verification without exposure, on the roadmap: reusable, cryptographic credential checks, so you prove you're qualified without re-submitting sensitive documents to every company you talk to.
