CANDIDATE FRAUD RISK SIGNALS

The candidate fraud signals that matter

The candidate fraud signals that matter

The candidate fraud signals that matter

Investigate the signals most associated with remote interview fraud: identity mismatch, proxy participation, off-screen assistance, and responses that no longer match the candidate’s demonstrated profile.

Identity mismatch

Flag visual or behavioral inconsistencies that may indicate the person who joined is not the verified candidate.

Proxy candidate signals

Surface signs of side-channel coaching, secondary speakers, and another person guiding the interview.

Deepfake interview risk

Review anomalies in video presence, lip movement, and identity continuity that may need human investigation.

Identity continuity gaps

Spot abrupt changes in appearance, voice, behavior, or attention that deserve a closer review.

Response authenticity changes

Review answers that suddenly diverge from the candidate’s background, earlier conversation, or demonstrated skills.

Off-screen assistance

Bring context to repeated gaze shifts, hidden notes, and potential external support during remote interviews.

CANDIDATE IDENTITY, NOT ASSUMPTION

Turn candidate fraud concerns into a defensible hiring decision.

When an interview raises a candidate fraud concern, Sherlock AI organizes the relevant identity and behavior evidence into a clear review trail—so hiring teams can investigate fairly before a costly mis-hire.

REAL-TIME VERIFICATION

Confirm who is participating before the interview moves on.

Establish an identity baseline at the start, then surface changes in presence, behavior, or participation as the interview unfolds.

Evidence-backed identity reports

Give reviewers timestamps, linked identity signals, and explainable reasons to assess a candidate-fraud concern before it affects a hiring decision.

Fits remote hiring workflows

Add Sherlock AI to scheduled interviews with minimal setup and a respectful candidate experience designed for evidence-led review.

Built for candidate identity verification

Support fair remote hiring by surfacing possible proxy candidates, identity mismatches, deepfake interview risk, and external assistance for human review.

THE SHERLOCK DIFFERENCE

From candidate uncertainty to evidence-backed review.

Sherlock gives hiring teams the context to investigate identity and proxy-candidate concerns thoughtfully—before assumptions become decisions.

BEFORE SHERLOCK

A candidate identity concern without context.

Reviewers are left piecing together identity changes, behavior shifts, and incomplete notes after the moment has passed.

• Unclear signals and subjective recall

• Slow, inconsistent investigation

• High-stakes decisions without proof

AFTER SHERLOCK

A clear identity trail to the next step.

Sherlock turns candidate identity and behavior signals into linked evidence, giving every reviewer the context to assess a concern fairly.

✓ Timestamped, reviewable evidence

✓ Faster alignment across reviewers

✓ Fairer, more confident decisions

✓ Fits your existing interview workflow

✓ Human review stays in control
