Proctoring and Cheating Protection

At althire.ai, we are committed to maintaining the integrity of our AI-powered interview process. To ensure a fair and unbiased evaluation, we implement proctoring measures during interviews, which may include:

  • Monitoring: Our AI system may monitor interview sessions through video and audio recordings to detect any irregularities or suspicious behavior that could indicate cheating or dishonesty.
  • Behavioral Analysis: The AI may analyze candidate behavior during the interview, including facial expressions, eye movement, and response patterns, to identify potential attempts at cheating.
  • Environment Checks: Candidates may be required to confirm their interview environment is free from unauthorized materials or assistance. This may involve a brief scan of the surroundings via camera.

By participating in our interview process, you consent to these proctoring measures. We take your privacy seriously and will only use the data collected during proctoring for the purpose of ensuring the integrity of the interview process. Any data collected will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our proctoring measures or how we protect against cheating, please contact us at contact@althire.ai.
