Hiring intelligence for the AI era

Interview Integrity Platform

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<br>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&rsquo;t verified, you may already be extending offers on answers that were never the candidate&rsquo;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 &ldquo;cheat on everything&rdquo; overlay that began as Interview Coder, raised $15M from Andreessen Horowitz. Undetectable interview assistants are now a funded, fast-growing market.

Soon you won&rsquo;t know who&rsquo;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.

See how InterviewWatch closes this gap

What the product offers<br>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 signed 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.

Your integrity monitor

Watch it unfold in real time: a second screen is flagged, a hidden AI overlay appears, the candidate copies its answer, and on your side each signal fires with a timestamp for you to review, dropping the integrity score and captured as a signed record you can stand behind.

Privacy and compliance<br>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.

Two ways to run it<br>Run it managed, or license it under your own brand.

Same integrity engine, two clean paths. Want the fastest way to start, with dashboards and ATS sync handled for you? Go managed. Already have your own product or hiring flow, and want it to feel like yours end to end? License the agent and embed it under your brand.

Managed platform<br>We host and run it for you

1Your recruiters work in one simple dashboard, nothing to install.

2It connects to your hiring system (ATS), so interviews set up automatically.
