Knowledge-source detection

See When Candidates Use Outside Knowledge During A Live Round.

Some interviews allow documentation. Some do not. InterviewWatch gives hiring teams visibility into browser-based knowledge sources such as search engines, Stack Overflow, GitHub, MDN, coding challenge sites, and generic how-to queries during the interview.

External knowledge

Policy context decides whether a knowledge source matters.

Documentation may be normal for a senior engineering exercise and unacceptable for a closed-book screen. The report records the activity so the team can apply the correct policy.

Search engines

Detects Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and generic search query patterns visible in browser titles.

Developer resources

Flags Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, GitHub, MDN, W3Schools, LeetCode, HackerRank, and similar sources.

Correlated timing

Useful when a knowledge-source visit lines up with a question, answer pause, clipboard event, or AI signal.

Open-book interviews

Use the signal as context. Review whether the candidate used allowed resources in a way that matches the interview policy.

Closed-book interviews

Knowledge-source activity during a closed-book technical round can become a higher-risk integrity finding.
