Interview Monitoring & Anti-Cheating
Confirm the same person finishes, honestly
Identity checks confirm who starts an interview. Monitoring confirms the same person finishes it, on their own. AI cheating detection watches every session with a secondary camera, multi-face detection, speech analysis, and full-screen lockdown, while live manual proctoring lets your recruiters watch and step in the moment something looks off.
In short
Interview monitoring runs throughout a Zinterview interview in two layers: AI cheating detection (a secondary phone camera, multi-face detection, speech-pattern analysis, and full-screen lockdown) and live manual proctoring, where recruiters watch and step in. Together they confirm the verified candidate is answering on their own.
How it works
Oversight from setup to the final answer
Set up the monitored environment
The candidate enters full-screen and scans a QR code to connect their phone as a second camera. Zinterview confirms the setup looks right, hands and desk clearly visible, before the interview can begin.
AI cheating detection runs throughout
During the interview the AI checks the candidate's position, scans for extra faces, listens for read-aloud answers, and detects tab-switching or full-screen exits, all without a recruiter having to watch every second.
Suspicious activity pauses the interview
If something looks wrong the interview pauses and the candidate is warned to clear any support. Recruiters can join the proctoring portal to review, intervene, or let the candidate continue.
Capabilities
Layers that make outside help hard to hide
No single check catches everything, so Zinterview runs several layers of AI cheating detection at once, with live manual proctoring on top. Each covers a different way a candidate might get help, and together they close the gaps a remote interview usually leaves open.
A secondary camera the webcam can't replace
The candidate scans a QR code to add their phone as a second camera, angled to show their hands, keyboard, and desk. It captures what a laptop webcam cannot, so a hidden phone, notes, or a second screen stays visible throughout the interview.
Fairness and trust
Fair to honest candidates, tough on cheating
Monitoring is built to protect honest candidates as much as it catches dishonest ones. Every check produces evidence for a person to review, not an automatic rejection, and candidates are warned and given a chance to fix a problem before it counts against them.
A signal, not a verdict
Flags and scores are evidence a recruiter reviews. A human always decides whether a candidate continues or moves forward.
The same rules for everyone
Every candidate is monitored the same way against the same checks, so the process stays consistent and fair across your pipeline.
Warned before it counts
When something looks off, the candidate is warned and given a chance to clear it before the interview is affected.
Encrypted and purpose-limited
Camera feeds and interview data are encrypted and used only to evaluate the interview, nothing else.
FAQ
Common questions
Zinterview combines several checks that run throughout the interview: a secondary phone camera, detection of extra people in frame, analysis of whether answers are spoken or read aloud, and full-screen lockdown that flags tab-switching. Together they make it very hard for a candidate to get outside help unnoticed.
