Recruiting teams are drowning in noise- fake applicants, bots, low-intent clicks, and digital junk that clog funnels and steal time. This is one of the biggest hidden tax burdens on staffing teams today. And the truth is simple:
“Applicant volume is cheap. Applicant quality is everything.”
— Travis Arnold, Boostie CEO and Co-Founder
Boostie was built from the ground up with a quality-first philosophy:
No recruiter should waste a second on candidates who were never real in the first place.
Our spam filtering does the heavy lifting so your team can stay focused on real people, real intent, and real revenue.
The typical job funnel today includes:
Bots auto-applying to everything
Applicants with mismatched or fabricated credentials
Mass “spray and pray” clicks
Disposable email accounts
Duplicate identity patterns
Traffic farms pumping fake activity
This creates:
Wasted recruiter time
Corrupted analytics
Lower placement velocity
Poor candidate experience
Higher operational cost
If you don’t control the quality of your funnel, you lose control of your business.
Boostie analyzes dozens of data points to identify suspicious or low-integrity behavior the moment it enters your funnel - long before it reaches your recruiters.
Boostie evaluates multiple behavior and identity signals, including:
IP reputation & geolocation patterns
Device fingerprints (browser, OS, hardware)
Session flow & actions taken
Apply-page engagement
Velocity indicators (too many apps too fast)
Unusual match inconsistencies
Together, these form a picture of whether a submission is coming from a credible job seeker - or a bad actor.
If the system determines risk or unreliability, Boostie instantly flags it as Spam.
SPAM filters, tags, badges and detection are seamlessly built into the core products you use every day:
Capture → Recent Subscribers - Spam tags appear when a subscriber signs up using suspicious information or patterns.
Subscriber Profile → Application History - Spam badges appear next to questionable job applications.
Apply Dashboard & Analytics - Spam is excluded from analytics so your data remains clean and trustworthy.
Job Matching & Fit Signal View - Your recruiters see noise for what it is, and focus only on legitimate candidates.
This ensures complete visibility so your team can confidently ignore the noise.
The automation industry made one mistake:
It automated everything, including the junk.
Boostie takes the opposite approach.
“Automation is only valuable when it makes great recruiters feel superhuman — not overwhelmed.”
This principle drives how we think about every feature we ship. Spam filtering isn’t an add-on. It’s a foundational requirement for a high-performing recruiting engine.
Boostie’s spam filtering gives recruiters instant leverage:
More time for real candidates - Every spam submission blocked is minutes (or hours) returned to your team.
Cleaner analytics - No more inflated numbers or misleading conversion rates.
Higher placement outcomes - When you remove noise, the best candidates rise to the top.
Better candidate experience with & higher responsiveness - Authentic applicants receive faster, more consistent responses.
Stronger Job Match Alerts & brand reputation- Boostie nurtures only high-intent, legitimate subscribers - protecting deliverability and brand reputation.
Boostie is here to elevate recruiters, not overwhelm them. Spam filtering is one of the core ways we ensure your talent funnel is built on quality, trust, and intent from the moment someone interacts with your brand.
“Recruiters build companies. Boostie builds the intelligence that protects their time.”
— Travis Arnold, Boostie CEO and Co-Founder
