Here's exactly what this checks — and what it doesn't.
A company you're interviewing with uses this tool to help their interviewers trust what they're seeing. It's a single program you run for your scheduled interview session, nothing to install, and it removes itself afterward. No account, no setup, nothing left behind.
The ledger
The same honest list you'll see again on the consent screen before anything starts. If you don't see something here, it isn't happening.
✓ What we check
01 Signs of screen-sharing evasion — apps or overlays built to hide from the interviewer's screen share
02 Known remote-access software running on your machine
03 Audio or camera drivers not typically used for a normal video call
04 Unusual copy-paste activity during the interview
05 General gaze and hand visibility on camera, during the video call only
✕ What we never do
01 Record, store, or transmit your camera or microphone feed
02 Log what you type or what you copy — only whether a paste happened
03 Read your files, browser history, or other open apps
04 Install anything permanent, or run outside your interview window
05 Send anything anywhere before you've clicked "I agree"
Questions people actually ask
Straight answers, no legalese.
There's nothing to install — it's a single program you run once, no setup wizard, no admin prompt. If the company you're interviewing with requires it, you'll see a consent screen before it does anything, and you can decline. If you'd rather not, the honest move is to say so to your recruiter directly — it's a reasonable question to ask, and how they respond tells you something too.
No. Nothing from your camera or microphone is ever stored or sent anywhere. The gaze and hand checks run entirely on signals in the moment — they produce a flag if something's off, not a recording.
It's scoped to your interview session only — it starts when you open the link and removes itself afterward. It isn't a background app, and it doesn't watch anything outside the call.
Flags go to a human interviewer, not an auto-reject system. Common setups (multiple monitors, streaming software, accessibility tools) can trigger a low-weight signal, but nothing here makes a decision on its own. If you know something about your setup might look unusual, mentioning it upfront is reasonable.
Flags from your session are visible to the interviewer during the call and stored so they can be reviewed afterward if needed. They're tied to that one interview, not to you as an ongoing profile.
The desktop companion currently supports Windows only. If you're on Mac or Linux, let your recruiter know — they'll tell you how they'd like to proceed.
Still unsure? Ask your recruiter before the interview, not during it. A company that's using this in good faith will have a straight answer.
