Proctoring watches for signs of outside help during an AI interview. It gives each interview a trust score out of 100 and a plain-language summary of anything worth a look, with links to the moment in the recording.
Proctoring signals aren’t proof of cheating. Review the interview before you make a hiring decision.

Checks

  • Answer authenticity: Listens for signs of reading AI-written answers, such as long waits or repeat requests before answering, read-out lists, and AI phrasing.
  • Tab switching: Notes each time the Candidate leaves the interview tab. Switches over Allowed switches lower the trust score.
  • Eye & face: Notes when the Candidate looks away or another face appears on camera.
  • Block second screens: Candidates can’t start or continue the interview while a second monitor is connected.
Turning on Eye & face also makes video required for the Interviewer.

Review proctoring results

On the Applicants tab

  • Likely cheated (red): The trust score is below 70.
  • Worth a look (amber): The trust score is 70 to 84.
  • No badge: The trust score is 85 or above, or proctoring was off.

In the Candidate report

Open the Candidate report and click the Proctoring tab.
  • Status and score: No concerns found, Interview worth a look, or Interview flagged, with the trust score and which checks ran. A check marked Pending hasn’t finished yet.
  • Across the whole interview: A verdict on the interview as a whole, such as Likely reading AI-generated text or Likely looked up the answer, and any long waits before answering. This verdict caps the trust score.
  • Per question: Each answer marked Flagged or Worth a look, what was observed, and Evidence timestamps. Click a timestamp to jump to that moment in the recording.
  • Answers with no concerns: Expand the list at the bottom to see the questions that raised nothing.
The Candidate Details panel shows the same score and status. Export PDF includes the proctoring summary.
