Deter · off-device

Deter the cheating no software can see.

A phone running an AI assistant, an earpiece, an accomplice just off-camera — help that never touches the interview computer, and that no detection agent can catch. Capifiq closes that gap the only way possible: with interviewing methodology that makes off-device assistance ineffective.

The full picture

Two pillars. One integrity.

Interview integrity has two halves. Capifiq covers both — it detects what happens on the device, and deters what happens off it.

Detect · on-device

Any assistance on the machine

The companion agent surfaces unauthorized tools running on the candidate's computer — hidden AI assistants, remote-control sessions, virtual machines, virtual cameras, browser assistants, display tampering, and new vectors as they appear. Deterministic, timestamped, sealed evidence.

Deter · off-device

Help that never touches the device

A phone, an earpiece, a person off-camera. No agent can see it — so Capifiq deters it through how the interview is run. Practical interviewing methodology, included with every account. No new tools.

The gap

What no software can catch.

The newest cheating doesn't run on the interview computer at all. It sits beside it — and that is exactly why software, including any detection agent, can't see it.

A second device

A phone or second laptop runs an AI assistant beside the interview, feeding the candidate answers. It never touches the machine being monitored.

An earpiece

Answers or coaching whispered through an earpiece. There is no software signal at all — the help arrives as audio.

An accomplice off-camera

Someone just out of frame reading questions and supplying answers, or a proxy who quietly takes over the hard parts.

Pre-fed material

Memorized answers, a leaked question bank, or prepared scripts — nothing running live on the device to detect.

This is not a limitation to hide — it's physics. If the assistance never runs on the interview computer, no agent can observe it. Pretending otherwise would be an overclaim. The honest answer is to change how the interview is run.

What you get

  • Practical interviewer guidance, included with every account
  • Ways of running the session that off-device help can't keep pace with
  • No new software, no extra tools, no workflow change
  • Pairs with on-device detection for full coverage

How it works

Better interviews beat off-device help.

Off-device assistance depends on a predictable interview — one where a candidate can relay a question, wait for an answer, and read it back. The counter is to run interviews that don't give it that room.

Capifiq equips your interviewers with guidance that makes off-device help ineffective in practice — without new tools and without changing your platform. It is methodology, not software: a better way to ask, so an outside answer can't keep up.

Questions

Common questions.

Why can't detection software catch off-device cheating?
Because it never touches the interview computer. A phone, an earpiece, or a person off-camera runs entirely outside the machine, so no agent — Capifiq's or anyone else's — can see it. It is deterred through how the interview is run, not by software.
Does interviewing methodology require new software or tools?
No. It is practical guidance for your interviewers on running a session in a way that makes off-device assistance ineffective. No new tools, no extra software, no change to your video platform.
How does this fit with Capifiq's detection?
They are two halves of one picture. Capifiq detects any unauthorized assistance on the candidate's device and deters the cheating that never touches it. On-device detection plus off-device deterrence covers both.
Is the methodology the same for every role?
The guidance is practical and adapts to how you already interview. It is designed to strengthen your existing process, not replace it — so it fits technical screens, behavioral rounds, and everything in between.
