Sherlock is an AI-agent designed to maintain the integrity of remote interviews by preventing AI-assisted cheating. Utilizing advanced technology, Sherlock monitors the interview device, including the microphone, camera, and screen, with appropriate permissions. It employs audio detection to identify when candidates receive answers via audio and visual analysis to detect if candidates are reading from off-screen sources or exhibiting thinking patterns consistent with external help, achieving an accuracy rate of 80-85%.
Sherlock's multi-layered approach combines behavior analysis, keyboard dynamics, eye-tracking, and pattern recognition, trained on millions of legitimate and fraudulent interview sessions. It integrates seamlessly with popular interview platforms like Zoom, Teams, or Meet via API or browser extensions, and also offers a standalone solution. Sherlock provides real-time alerts during interviews, allowing interviewers to focus on evaluating candidates' skills while ensuring security.
With an industry-leading false positive rate of less than 0.3%, Sherlock assigns a confidence score to each potential detection, enabling interviewers to make final judgments in borderline cases. No special hardware is required; standard webcams and microphones suffice, with candidates needing only to allow browser permissions.
Sherlock is minimally intrusive, ensuring candidates are aware their session is monitored without revealing specific detection mechanisms. It detects various forms of AI-assisted cheating, including the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, off-camera assistance, pre-written code or answers, and external resource access via screen-sharing or dual monitors. Implementation is quick, typically within 1-2 business days, with comprehensive onboarding support provided.
Upon detecting potential cheating, Sherlock flags the interview segment in real-time and generates a detailed report post-interview. This report includes timestamps, confidence scores, and specific indicators detected, allowing organizations to act according to their policies. Sherlock is suitable for both technical and non-technical assessments, ensuring comprehensive interview integrity.
