Candidate interview fraud
Candidate interview fraud leaves evidence.
Proxy candidates, hidden AI assistance, remote-control sessions, synthetic media, and other forms of interview fraud can all distort a hiring decision. Capifiq brings the interview and its integrity evidence into one timestamped record for human review.
The full problem
Interview fraud is bigger than AI-generated answers.
A credible integrity program has to account for who is present, what is happening on the device, whether another person is controlling the session, and whether the media itself is authentic.
Proxy candidates
A different person appears for the interview, takes over partway through, or receives covert help from someone else.
Hidden assistance
AI overlays, browser assistants, remote-control tools, virtual machines, virtual cameras, and unauthorized input alter what the interviewer sees.
Synthetic media
Deepfakes and synthetic audio can imitate a real candidate. Media-authenticity indicators provide corroborating evidence for a reviewer, not an automated verdict.
What to verify
One interview. Four questions that matter.
Capifiq organizes integrity evidence around the session itself, so reviewers can examine the facts without collapsing them into a score.
Continuity
Who participated?
Review session and media-authenticity evidence for signs that participation changed or was misrepresented. Capifiq does not verify identity documents.
Environment
What was active?
Review covered device, display, browser, network, virtualization, camera, and input events in context.
Assistance
Was help introduced?
See relevant on-device activity and distinguish it from the separate problem of help that happens entirely off-device.
Evidence
Can the record be reviewed?
Findings are timestamped and attached to the interview timeline so an authorized person can examine what happened.
Human review
From signal to a reviewable record.
Direct technical events and analytical media-authenticity indicators are kept distinct. Each appears on the interview timeline with the context a reviewer needs, rather than being blended into an opaque risk score.
Capifiq does not rank candidates, recommend a hiring outcome, or automatically reject anyone. The platform preserves evidence; an authorized person evaluates it and decides what happens next.
Detect & Deter, never decide.
- Timestamped, reviewable findings
- No candidate score or risk band
- No automated employment decision
- Human judgment stays in control
Two different problems
- On-device activity can leave direct technical evidence
- Help entirely off-device cannot be directly observed
- Live follow-ups can make outside help slower and easier to notice
- Interviewers approve the questions and judge the answers
Off-device assistance
We stopped trying to see the phone. We made it useless.
No software can directly see an accomplice, earpiece, or second device that stays outside the monitored environment. Capifiq treats that as a separate interview-design problem.
The Question Engine helps interviewers use source-grounded questions and live follow-ups that are harder to relay or outsource in real time. It produces no score, ranking, or verdict.
Designed to fit
The interview moves. Your hiring stack does not.
Live interviews run in the Capifiq video interview platform. Your ATS, calendar, coding environment, and assessment tools stay part of the workflow.
Session-scoped
The integrity check starts and ends with the interview session. Candidates receive advance notice and can use the published rights and accommodation path.
Not a lockdown
Capifiq observes and reports covered activity. It does not block applications, restrict the candidate's setup, or take over the hiring decision.
Connected workflow
Keep scheduling and candidate records where they belong while adding one consistent interview and evidence record.
