Sherlock Interview - Detect cheating in remote interviews

"In a world where AI dominates the conversation, ensuring the integrity of remote interviews is more critical than ever. Enter Sherlock Interview, your AI-powered interview proctoring solution."

The Challenge of Remote Interviews

Remote interviews present a unique set of challenges, particularly when it comes to maintaining integrity. With the ease of access to AI tools like ChatGPT and other resources, candidates have new avenues to cheat—whether it's reading pre-written answers, receiving off-camera assistance, or using dual monitors to access forbidden information. Despite the convenience of platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, cheating remains a significant concern for hiring managers.

How Sherlock Works

Sherlock is engineered to detect cheating through vision, hearing, and reasoning—three pillars that work together to preserve the integrity of your interviews. The system monitors the:

• 📱 Device: Records all activity on the interview device, including microphone, camera, and screen.
• 🔊 Audio: Detects external audio cues that suggest assistance.
• 👀 Visuals: Can identify reading from off-screen sources with 80-85% accuracy.

The process is simple:

1. Add your meeting link to the Sherlock dashboard.
2. Sherlock monitors in real time, alerting you to any suspicious activity.
3. Receive a detailed cheating detection report after the interview.

How Effective is Sherlock?

Sherlock employs a multi-layered approach combining behavior analysis, eye-tracking, keyboard dynamics, and more to catch those trying to game the system. Its algorithms have been trained on millions of interview sessions—both legitimate and fraudulent—giving it the ability to spot the most subtle indicators of cheating. What's more, Sherlock boasts a false positive rate of less than 0.3%, so you can trust its alerts.

Why You Might Need It

If your company conducts technical interviews, candidates using generative AI tools could be a real problem. Imagine a scenario where a candidate inputs your coding question into ChatGPT and effortlessly crafts a perfect response. Without detection tools like Sherlock, you might inadvertently hire someone who lacks the real-world skills their AI-generated answers suggest.

But it's not just tech roles. Sherlock is equally effective in non-technical interviews. Whether you're interviewing for a customer service role or a leadership position, the system can detect external assistance and ensure that what you hear from candidates is truly their own.
