Hiring intelligence for the AI era

Interview Integrity Agent

Interview integrity has quietly become a hiring risk nobody's tracking. InterviewWatch runs alongside your live interviews, flags AI assistance and hidden activity the moment it happens, and signs a tamper-evident report you can point to later. No screen or audio recorded, only the signals that matter.

Interviews are the last unaudited step in hiring. Not anymore.

Why it matters

Interview cheating stopped being an edge case.

In under a year, AI assistance during live interviews went from a fringe trick to a funded, mainstream product category. If your interviews aren’t verified, you may already be extending offers on answers that were never the candidate’s.

38%

Cheating is now the default, not the exception

Across 19,368 technical interviews, 38.5% of candidates were flagged for AI-assisted cheating, and the rate climbed from 9% to 45% in a single quarter.

The cheating tools are venture-backed

Cluely, the “cheat on everything” overlay that began as Interview Coder, raised $15M from Andreessen Horowitz. Undetectable interview assistants are now a funded, fast-growing market.

Soon you won’t know who’s real

Gartner predicts that by 2028, 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide will be fake, driven by AI-generated identities and stand-in, proxy interviewees.

What the product offers

What ran on their machine, made visible.

InterviewWatch isn't a proctoring tool. It runs a consent-first agent for the length of the interview, watching only machine-level signals, AI overlays, extra displays, clipboard, remote access, virtual cameras, and turns them into a live risk score and a signed report. No screen, audio, or video, ever.

01 / RUN

Run a lightweight desktop agent during the interview.

The candidate consents, the agent runs only for the session and exits when it ends, no personal data captured, no media captured.

02 / VERIFY

Verify live interviews without recording private content.

Observe integrity metadata during the session, detect high-risk patterns and surface issues while the interview is still happening.

03 / DECIDE

Close the loop with evidence-grade reports.

Give recruiters, hiring managers and compliance reviewers the same signed record of what happened and why it matters.

Live detection

Detect AI assistance as it happens.

InterviewWatch detects signals of AI-assisted behavior during the interview and surfaces them in real time. Every detection is timestamped as it happens, so interviewers can see potential assistance immediately instead of discovering it after the interview is over.

Integrity failing AI assistance detected during the system-design question.

The candidate opted in and monitoring started cleanly at 00:04. Nothing is recorded before consent is given, so the session begins with a verifiable clean baseline.

ChatGPT was opened in a foreground window at 06:12, visible on the candidate's own screen. An AI assistant being open during the interview is treated as high severity, whether or not it was used.

Active window focus moved to Claude for 9 seconds at 07:40, meaning the candidate briefly brought an AI assistant to the front during the interview.

More than one monitor was connected to the candidate's machine during the interview. A second screen can display reference material that isn't visible to the meeting camera.

AnyDesk was running on the candidate's machine from 10:15 to 10:16, 63 seconds total. This software is capable of letting another person view or control the machine remotely.

ChatGPT Desktop was running with a window deliberately excluded from screen capture from 14:02 to 14:19, 17 seconds total. Overlays of this kind are visible to the candidate but invisible to the interviewer's screen-share view.

A 428-character copy was taken from ChatGPT at 14:18, then available to paste into the interview. We record the source app, window title, and length, never the clipboard contents.

This is a representative example built from InterviewWatch's real signal catalog. Every actual report is unique to that interview and its own evidence.

Privacy and compliance

Integrity monitoring without collecting private interview media.

InterviewWatch draws a bright line between integrity metadata and interview content, so teams can protect hiring quality while keeping candidate privacy clear. The agent collects no personal data, it only watches for machine-level integrity signals.

Never touches your content

Your files, code and work stay untouched.

Never records screen, audio or video

Nothing is captured or stored as media.

Never reads files or browser history

No access to your file system or browsing.

Never logs keystrokes or clipboard contents

No keystroke logging, no clipboard access.

Make it your own

Run the whole experience under your own brand.

Every company on InterviewWatch can be fully white-labeled with your name, your color, and your logo across the recruiter dashboard, the live monitor, and the candidate app. Multi-brand teams and agencies theme each client separately, and nothing is ever shared between tenants.

Your logo and wordmark

The dashboard header, the live monitor, and every signed report carry your mark instead of ours, from the first sign-in to the final PDF.

Your accent color, end to end

Pick a brand color and the entire recruiter experience themes to it automatically, from the dashboard and controls to the real-time integrity monitor.

A branded candidate app

The lightweight app candidates run for the interview shows your product name and icon, so the whole verification flow feels like a native part of your process.

Branding is set per company by your platform admin, so a single account can present a different identity to every client, with strict tenant isolation.

FAQ

The questions that come up on the first enterprise call.

Straight answers for legal, security, recruiting operations and hiring managers.

Does InterviewWatch record the candidate's screen, audio, or video?

No. The product is designed around metadata-only integrity signals. It does not record screen, audio, or video content.

Which video conferencing tools does it work with?

It works across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and the rest. If candidates join your interview through a meeting link, InterviewWatch runs alongside it, no matter which platform hosts the call.

What does the candidate install?

The candidate uses a lightweight desktop agent for the interview session. It presents the consent flow, runs only during the session and exits when the interview is complete.

How do you reduce false positives?

InterviewWatch correlates multiple independent signal classes and produces a reviewable report. A human still makes the decision; the score points them to the evidence.

Can this work with our ATS?

InterviewWatch connects to whichever ATS you're already using. Greenhouse is supported today, with Lever, Workday, Ashby, and other platforms connected based on your environment and requirements, so scheduled interviews sync in and signed reports post back automatically. While an external ATS is connected, the built-in pipeline hides itself so you never run two.

What if we don’t have an ATS at all?

Then use ours. Every account includes a built-in ATS, free with unlimited seats for two active jobs: candidates, a six-stage pipeline, applications posted from your own career page through an API, CSV import, and one-click scheduling from the candidate card. Interview verification is a separate pay-per-use add-on, and the pipeline itself is never metered. See the built-in ATS.
