Solutions · Technical hiring

Trust your technical screens again.

Live coding and system-design rounds are the single most targeted interviews for AI cheating tools. Capifiq keeps them trustworthy: detecting any unauthorized assistance on the candidate's machine and deterring the off-device help no software can see: running right alongside the coding platform and video call you already use.

The problem

Coding rounds are where the tools aim first.

A whole category of tools, Interview Coder, Leetcode Wizard, and more, exists specifically to solve coding problems live and feed the candidate the answer on a hidden overlay. Others run on a second screen or through a browser copilot.

For engineering teams, the stakes are concrete: a candidate who can't actually do the work slips through, and a fully-loaded technical mis-hire runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars once you count salary, ramp, rework, and re-hiring.

How Capifiq fits

Both halves, in the platform the interview runs on.

Interviews move onto Capifiq and your ATS stays put. Capifiq surfaces covered integrity-relevant activity on the candidate's device, and outpaces the off-device help no software can see.

Detect · on-device

On-device coding assistants

Hidden AI overlays, second-screen assistants, browser copilots, remote-control help, virtual machines, surfaced by what they do, named on the timeline, and sealed as evidence, even when the tool is new or renamed.

Deter · off-device

Off-device help on hard problems

An earpiece, a phone, or a stronger engineer just off-camera. No software can see it, so Capifiq builds questions that make off-device help ineffective on the rounds that matter.

What you get

What engineering teams get.

Trustworthy signal

Deterministic evidence that a screen reflects the candidate's own work, so a strong interview means a strong engineer.

A code pad in the room

A shared code pad and whiteboard come with every interview, for talking a problem through together. Your scored exercises stay wherever they run today, CoderPad, HackerRank, or a shared editor, and nothing on a Capifiq pad is ever graded or scored.

Evidence, not vibes

Every finding is timestamped, hashed, and sealed. If a hire is ever questioned, you have a record: not a hunch.

Built to fit

  • Interviews run on Capifiq, your ATS and calendar stay put
  • Paid by interview session: no seats, no monthly minimum
  • Deterministic, sealed evidence: not a probability score
  • An integrity check, not a lockdown on the candidate

Why teams choose it

Built for how engineers interview.

Technical interviews are already high-stakes and short on time. Capifiq doesn't add friction to them: no lockdown on the candidate, no new coding platform to learn, no probability score to argue about: just clear, sealed evidence from the interview itself.

Questions

Common questions.

Does Capifiq work with our coding platform?
Yes. Your coding platform is unchanged: CoderPad, HackerRank, or a shared editor all work as they do today. What changes is where the interview itself happens: the call runs in Capifiq rather than in a general-purpose meeting tool, which is exactly what lets integrity be part of the platform instead of a layer around it. For the lighter case, sketching a design or writing a few lines while you talk, a shared code pad and whiteboard are already in the room.
Is the built-in code pad an assessment tool?
No, and deliberately not. It's a place to think out loud together, like a whiteboard in a meeting room. Nothing written on it is graded or scored, and we never read anything into how fast someone types. For a scored exercise, keep using the assessment platform you already have.
Will it slow down or lock down the candidate?
No. It is an integrity check, not a lockdown. Candidates keep their normal setup; nothing is blocked or restricted.
What about a candidate using a second laptop for the coding help?
On-device help is detected; help that runs entirely off the device is deterred through the Question Engine. Together they cover both.
Does it detect brand-new coding-assistant tools?
Yes, coverage doesn't depend on the tool being catalogued, so newly shipped assistants are in scope. See why Capifiq is a different category.
