Ensuring Integrity in Remote Assessments

Candidates are increasingly attending interviews and assessments from the comfort of their homes, leading to potential risks of unethical practices. This is where proctoring technology, like the one integrated into AiInterview, plays a pivotal role.

Proctoring leverages artificial intelligence to detect anomalies, suspicious activities, and behaviors that might indicate the use of unfair means during an interview or test. Here’s a breakdown of the proctoring features, as illustrated in the image above:

• Real-Time Analysis: AiInterview's proctoring system continuously monitors candidates through their webcam during the interview. This real-time analysis captures various aspects of the candidate’s surroundings and actions to identify potentially suspicious behaviors.

• Detection of Suspicious Elements:

  • Phone Usage: As depicted in the example image, the system successfully detected a phone in the candidate's hand. Phone usage during an assessment can be a red flag, indicating the candidate might be attempting to seek external help or reference unauthorized material.
  • Multiple Humans: The system can also detect if multiple people are present in the frame. In an interview or assessment scenario, the presence of others could suggest that the candidate is receiving assistance, which compromises the integrity of the process.
  • Books and Screens: The proctoring tool is also trained to identify the presence of books, notebooks, or screens in the background. This capability helps detect if candidates are attempting to use reference materials during the assessment.
  • Suspicious Movement: Movement detection is another essential feature. Unusual movements, such as frequent glancing away from the screen or leaving the frame, can be indicators of dishonest behavior.

• Confidence Scoring: AiInterview’s proctoring system assigns a confidence score to each detected activity. For instance, the image shows a high confidence score (9.20) for the presence of a phone, suggesting a strong likelihood of the detection being accurate. Similarly, low confidence scores for other elements (e.g., books or screens) indicate minimal or uncertain presence. This scoring system helps interviewers quickly identify which activities need closer examination.

• Comprehensive Reporting: After the interview, AiInterview generates a detailed proctoring report highlighting all the detected activities. Recruiters can review these findings, providing them with actionable insights on the candidate's behavior during the assessment. This report ensures that recruiters can make informed decisions and address any concerns about the candidate's integrity.

Proctoring on AiInterview is not just about catching dishonesty; it’s also about providing a smooth and fair experience for candidates. By clearly communicating the proctoring rules and expectations before the interview, candidates understand what is required, reducing anxiety and promoting a stress-free interview environment.
