How HRGuardAI Detects Cheating

Unlike proctoring tools that require platform integration and invasive monitoring, HRGuardAI works with any interview you've already conducted.

1

Upload Any Transcript

Upload transcripts from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any video platform. We also support phone interview recordings. Works with your existing workflow - no integration needed.

2

Multi-Model AI Analysis

For each question, we generate reference answers using GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. Then we compare the candidate's response against all three using semantic similarity, linguistic patterns, and AI writing style detection.

3

Get Evidence-Based Report

Receive per-question cheating probability with specific evidence: which AI model the answer matches, what patterns triggered the flag, and confidence levels. Export as PDF for your hiring committee.

What We Detect That Humans Can't See

AI cheating tools leave fingerprints. Our detection algorithms identify patterns that are invisible to human interviewers but mathematically measurable.

AI Writing Patterns

  • STAR Method Overuse - AI tools format ALL behavioral answers using Situation-Task-Action-Result structure
  • AI Vocabulary - Words like "leverage," "utilize," "delve," "multifaceted," "comprehensive" appear at unnatural frequencies
  • Perfect Grammar - Real human speech contains filler words, self-corrections, and grammatical variations
  • Answer Uniformity - Similar length, structure, and confidence across all questions regardless of topic

LLM Fingerprinting

  • Model-Specific Detection - GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini each have distinct writing signatures we can identify
  • Semantic Similarity - Compare candidate answers against AI-generated reference answers using embedding models
  • Keyword Density - AI tools stuff job description keywords into answers at detectable rates
  • Response Timing - Consistent 3-5 second delays indicate AI processing time

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my interview process?

No. Upload transcripts from your existing Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet interviews. No integration or platform change required. Works with any video or phone interview you've already conducted.

How is this different from proctoring software?

Proctoring tools like HireVue and Talview require candidates to use specific platforms with invasive webcam monitoring. HRGuardAI analyzes post-interview transcripts - candidates never know, and you can analyze past interviews too.

What if the candidate is just well-prepared?

Our analysis looks for AI-specific patterns, not just good answers. We measure vocabulary distribution, structural patterns, and semantic similarity to known AI outputs. Well-prepared humans still have natural variation that AI-assisted answers lack.

What transcript formats do you support?

We support .txt, .vtt, .srt, Zoom transcript exports, Teams meeting transcripts, Otter.ai exports, and most common transcript formats. If your format isn't supported, contact us.

Is this legal and GDPR compliant?

Yes. You're analyzing your own interview recordings which you already have rights to. We act as a data processor under GDPR. We recommend informing candidates that interviews may be recorded and analyzed (standard HR practice). Data is auto-deleted after 90 days.

What if I get a false positive?

Our reports show evidence for every flag - you make the final decision. We provide probability scores, not definitive judgments. If you believe a result is incorrect, our support team can review the analysis and explain the specific patterns detected.

How fast do I get results?

Basic tier: 1-2 hours. Standard tier: 30 minutes. Premium tier: 10 minutes (priority processing). Results are emailed to you and available in your dashboard.
