Integrity Engine
Assessments and interviews you can trust, and candidates can too
Ground rules
What the engine will never do
No emotion AI
Nothing infers emotion, stress, facial expressions or deception.No automatic outcomes
No automatic rejection, termination or score change from integrity signals. Candidates see calm notices, never warning counts.A person decides
Every adverse outcome needs a person, and escalated cases need two different reviewers.Biometrics are optional
A separate biometric release, off by default, and a non-biometric alternative every time.Scores stay separate
Integrity never changes a competency score. Reviewers and recruiters see both, side by side.No AI-text detectors
We do not guess whether text was written by AI. Each test sets its own AI-use policy instead.
How a session works
From consent to a decision a person can explain
Consent first
Before a proctored stage the candidate sees the AI disclosure, the AI-use policy and the notice, can request accommodations and can choose the optional biometric release.You decide: The candidate gives consent and chooses the release
Signals on the device
Faces, head pose, objects such as phones and notes, voice activity and browser events are computed in the browser. Only per-second numbers are sent, never a video or audio stream; short clips are kept only around flagged moments.Evidence, not verdicts
A deterministic fusion step turns signals into a level. Each signal gets an honest allowance first, weak signals alone never move a session past Clear, and Escalate needs two signal families to agree or a serious event that a server or provider can verify.Who: Proctoring Analyst
A person reviews
Reviewers see the reasons, the known innocent explanations, a timeline, the clips and the separate competency score. If two reviewers disagree, the outcome is Re-verify, never the more adverse one.You decide: Cleared, re-verify or confirmed, with notes
Notice and appeal
The candidate gets the outcome with reasons in plain language and next steps, and can appeal once. A reviewer who took no part in the decision handles the appeal.You decide: The appeal, by a different reviewer
Every session ends at one of four levels. Review cases need one reviewer and Escalate cases need two.
- Clear
- Note
- Review
- Escalate
Signals
What the engine looks at, and what it never collects
Faces and head pose
How many faces are in view, time without a face or with more than one, and time with the head turned away.Objects and devices
Phones and notes in view, suspected virtual cameras and camera or microphone changes. Device details are hashed on the device.Voice
Voice activity and a second voice, which only ever corroborates other signals.Browser
Lost focus, hidden tabs, leaving full screen and more than one monitor.Typing and clipboard
Typing rhythm and paste events, but never the keys pressed or the text pasted.Second camera
At the Enhanced level, a phone joins through a one-time QR link and looks for people, phones and notes, without sound.Follow-up questions
In interviews and coding tests, short questions about the candidate’s own answers and code. They are extra, unscored and never tricks.Camera-free option
A candidate can take the stage without a camera. Every camera signal and biometric check is then switched off.
Identity and accommodations
Checks that never lock anyone out
Identity checks with a person behind them
Identity verification and liveness checks work with supported providers once you connect your account. Without a provider, or when the candidate does not give the biometric release, a person checks a photo ID or runs a supervised re-check instead. The identity step never blocks the test.Accommodations
Candidates can ask for extra time, a screen reader, a scribe or support person, or the camera-free option, and individual signals can count less or be switched off. Nobody is blocked because of their browser.Where it applies
AI interviews, assessments, coding assessments, async video interviews, and pre-screening when the job turns proctoring on. Workspaces set the check level per stage; practice interviews are never proctored.Kept only as long as needed
Retention is set per workspace. Clips from sessions with nothing to review are deleted within a week, and nothing is deleted while an appeal is open.
Questions
Integrity questions
No. Signals become evidence for a person. Integrity outcomes sit on the legal floor, so a person always decides, and escalated cases need two reviewers. Nothing rejects, ends or re-scores a session automatically.
No video or audio is streamed. Signals are computed on the candidate’s device and only per-second numbers are sent. Short camera clips around a flagged moment are kept for reviewers, never of the screen and never with the camera-free option; with the biometric release, the liveness check also sends its photos and reading clip.

No. Each test also has an AI-use policy: where AI assistance is allowed, signs of AI use are ignored instead of flagged, and copying from another candidate or help from a person still count.
