Catch the AI assistants screen sharing can’t see.
A consent-based integrity check for technical interviews. It catches the one trick Cluely and Interview Coder rely on — hiding their window from screen capture.
Free plan to start · No credit card
Screen sharing has a blind spot — and cheat tools live in it.
Overlay assistants like Cluely and Interview Coder are built around one deliberate behavior: they exclude their own window from screen capture. On a shared screen, that window is simply not there. The candidate reads AI-generated answers off an overlay the interviewer will never see in the call. Honest candidates get quietly out-competed, and interviewers have no way to tell.
Three steps. No install for the interviewer.
-
Interviewer shares a link
Start a session from your dashboard and send the candidate a join link. Nothing to install on your side.
-
Candidate runs the agent & consents
The candidate runs the FairlyHire agent — a small app — sees a plain-language summary of exactly what is and isn’t collected, and consents — or declines. They can stop at any time.
-
Interviewer sees a live verdict
Your dashboard shows a real-time verdict — Clean, Suspicious, or Caught — and a timeline for the interview.
We look where screen share can’t.
Instead of trying to watch the candidate’s screen, FairlyHire detects the capture-exclusion trick itself — the one behavior every overlay cheat tool needs to stay hidden. If a window is deliberately hiding from screen capture, FairlyHire sees it. It also matches a maintained list of known tools. The interviewer gets one clear verdict — not a hunch.
- CAUGHT
A known interview-cheating tool matched our signature list.
- SUSPICIOUS
An unexplained window is hiding itself from screen capture.
- CLEAN
Nothing flagged. Ordinary apps are never reported.
Built to find cheating, not to watch you.
If you’re a candidate: FairlyHire can’t see your screen, your files, or what you type. It looks for one specific trick that cheating tools use to hide — and ignores everything else. You consent before it starts, and you can stop anytime.
What it never does
- No screen capture
- No keystroke logging
- No webcam access
- No reading your files
What actually happens
- Only integrity findings and an anonymized activity count are sent to the interviewer
- Ordinary apps — browser, music, chat, games — are never reported
- You see a plain-language summary before you consent
- You consent first and can stop anytime
That restraint is deliberate. A verdict only means something if the candidate it’s about was treated fairly to begin with.

Answers for candidates and interviewers.
What does this run on my machine?
The FairlyHire agent — a lightweight app you start yourself for the interview. It scans for the specific behavior overlay cheat tools use and a list of known tools. It does not record your screen, log your keystrokes, use your webcam, or read your files. The candidate consent notice spells this out in full.
Can it see my screen, my files, or what I type?
No. None of those. The agent only reports flagged integrity findings — and you see a plain-language summary of exactly what is and isn’t collected before you agree to anything. Ordinary apps like your browser, music, or chat are never reported.
Can I decline?
Yes. Consent is required to begin, and you can stop monitoring at any time. If you decline, the interviewer simply sees that consent wasn’t given. The candidate consent notice explains your choices in full.
How do candidates join?
Your interviewer sends you a join link. Download the FairlyHire agent — a small app you run for the interview only — enter your join code, review a plain-language summary of what is and isn’t collected, and consent — nothing starts until you agree. See the full walkthrough on the candidates page.
How do interviewers start a session?
You create the session and share the join link from your dashboard. There’s nothing to install on your side — you just need a browser.
What does it detect?
The core signal is capture-exclusion: a window deliberately hiding itself from screen sharing, which is how tools like Cluely and Interview Coder operate. It also matches a maintained signature list of known interview-cheating tools.
What exactly does the interviewer receive?
Three things: an overall verdict (Clean, Suspicious, or Caught), the specific flagged findings behind it, and an anonymized count of newly launched applications — no names. Nothing else ever leaves the candidate’s machine.
Does FairlyHire catch every way of cheating?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It targets hidden-overlay AI tools specifically — the ones screen sharing can’t see. A second phone or another person in the room is out of scope; that’s what your interview format and judgment are for.
What platforms are supported?
The candidate agent runs on Windows 10/11 only, for now. Interviewers just need a browser — nothing to install. We’re actively expanding platform support.
