Virtual interviews have become the norm. They offer convenience and global accessibility, allowing companies to connect with top talent regardless of location. However, this shift also brings security challenges, making it easier for candidates to exploit loopholes for impersonation or cheating.
With the rise of sophisticated fraud tactics such as deepfakes, AI prompters and identity impersonation, ensuring interview integrity has never been more critical. Interview proctoring is emerging as a game-changer, enabling organizations to verify candidates, monitor environments, and prevent unauthorized assistance—ensuring a fair hiring process.
What is Interview Proctoring?
Interview proctoring ensures the integrity and fairness of virtual interviews by monitoring candidates in real-time. With the help of technology, fraud, impersonation, and unauthorized assistance can be prevented, safeguarding the credibility of remote hiring.
The primary objective is to create a secure and transparent interview process, ensuring that candidates are assessed based on their true skills and qualifications.
What are the Modern Techniques used in Interview Fraud?
Candidates employ creative methods to cheat during interviews, like
- Deepfake: Candidates may change their appearance to impersonate someone else during the interview, or impersonators might modify their looks to resemble the candidate, gaining an unfair advantage in the interview process.
- AI Voice Assistants: Usage of AI assistants to generate real-time answers in an ongoing interview has become very popular these days. There are also real-time interview assistants like Final Round AI, specially designed to help candidates ace the interview, with minimal or no preparation.
- Real-time Coaching: Often, delayed responses during an interview indicate coaching. Typically, real-time coaching involves using earpieces, where a coach listens to the questions and provides answers, which the candidate then repeats.
How can you Prevent Interview Fraud?
The solution is straightforward: interview proctoring. Talview's Interview Rooms allow you to observe and identify even the slightest irregularities during interviews, such as natural eye movements, the use of AI voice assistants, background inconsistencies, and many other similar occurrences.
Talview can create a secure and fraud-free interview environment with
- Candidate Verification: Authenticate candidates before the interview with real-time face, voice, and device recognition, ensuring instant detection of proxy candidates. Enhance security by validating identities against pre-interview data. Track candidates throughout the hiring lifecycle and detect imposters earlier.
- 360° Environment Check: Before the interview begins, obtain a real-time view of the candidate's interview environment to ensure there are no hidden objects or anyone else present in the room.
- Secondary Camera Monitoring: The secondary camera offers a broader perspective of the candidate's environment, facilitating improved monitoring during an ongoing interview. The interviewer can observe the presence of an additional device or the candidate's side profile, which may aid in identifying deepfakes.
- Lockdown Browser: Ensure that the candidate remains in the interview window and does not open any additional tabs that could assist in browsing for answers.
- Live Screen Share: Live screen sharing allows the monitoring of candidates' activity on the laptops or tablets they use for the interview. Several websites can be accessed through the interview tools or plugins that offer live assistance during the interview. Live screen sharing can help identify this.
As LLMs and AI agents become increasingly advanced, there will always be new ways to cheat in interviews. To ensure that candidates are selected based on their merit rather than their ability to use AI for dishonest purposes, a robust interviewing platform like Talview's Interview Rooms is necessary to help identify these subtle cheating behaviors.
