The Problem Sherlock Solves

In a world of remote-first hiring, traditional video interviews are vulnerable to sophisticated cheating methods, including AI assistants (like ChatGPT), unauthorized screen sharing, and identity fraud.

Sherlock acts as an invisible proctor, providing recruiters with the data they need to trust their hiring decisions without adding unnecessary friction to the candidate experience.


Core Capabilities

1. 360° Identity Verification

Sherlock eliminates "bait-and-switch" hiring.

  • ID Matching: Candidates upload government-issued identification (Passport, Driver’s License).

  • Biometric Verification: Using state-of-the-art face-matching technology, Sherlock ensures the person taking the interview matches the ID provided.

  • Continuous Monitoring: Sherlock checks for person-swapping or deepfake usage throughout the entire session.

2. Advanced Integrity Monitoring

Depending on your security needs, Sherlock monitors both behavioral and system-level signals:

  • System Lockdown: Detects and flags the use of prohibited software like Slack, ChatGPT, or screen recorders.

  • Hardware Detection: Identifies secondary monitors, external input devices, or hidden USB hubs.

  • Behavioral Cues: AI analyzes eye movement, reading cadence (to detect scripts), and unusual head positioning.

3. Automated Performance Evaluation

Sherlock doesn't just watch for cheating; it evaluates talent. Our AI generates a comprehensive score across four key pillars:

  • Technical Proficiency: Accuracy and depth of technical answers.

  • Domain Knowledge: Understanding of industry-specific concepts.

  • Soft Skills: Communication clarity, confidence, and professionalism.

  • Functional Alignment: How well the candidate fits the specific requirements of the role.
