10% of Candidates Were Caught Cheating. Here’s What We Did About It
Now live: real-time cheat detection, smart alerts, and human-reviewable context—without disrupting your interview flow.
Unfortunately, cheating doesn’t stop at Coldplay concerts…
And while HR isn’t dealing with relationship drama, recruiters everywhere are dealing with something just as frustrating: candidates getting coached mid-interview, reading off scripts, and using AI tools to fake their way through screening.
It’s happening more than ever, and it’s getting harder to catch. HeyMilo now flags suspicious behavior in real time, so you don’t have to go looking for it!
Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes during each interview:
Behavioral monitoring: flags when candidates repeatedly glance away, switch tabs, pause unnaturally, or show signs of getting coached mid-interview
Voice & video signal analysis: detects multiple voices, scripted responses, and audio or visual patterns that suggest the use of AI tools or deepfakes
Environment tracking: catches device switching, toggled microphones/cameras, or subtle cues that indicate outside help
Smart flagging: highlights only the most relevant suspicious moments, so your team doesn’t have to rewatch every interview from start to finish
HeyMilo’s cheat detection never auto-rejects anyone. It simply adds helpful flags and timestamps so your team can see what happened and decide what matters. You’re always in control—and we made it easier for your team to move quickly and confidently.
