Catch the AI assistants screen-sharing can’t see.
FairlyHire is a consent-based integrity check for technical interviews. It catches the one trick tools like Cluely and Interview Coder rely on — hiding their window from screen capture — and shows the interviewer a live verdict, nothing more.
No screen recording. No keystroke logging. No webcam. Candidates consent and can stop anytime.
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.
Watching a screen-share — or even a webcam — can’t surface something that was engineered to be invisible to exactly those tools. 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 code. Nothing to install on your side.
-
Candidate runs the app & consents
The candidate runs a lightweight app, sees exactly what would be sent, and clicks Consent — or declines. They can stop at any time.
-
Interviewer sees a live verdict
Your dashboard shows a real-time verdict and a timeline for the interview — Clean, Suspicious, or Caught.
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-assistant 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
- Does not read your files
What actually happens
- Only integrity findings are ever sent to the interviewer
- Ordinary apps — browser, music, chat, games — are never reported
- You see exactly what would be sent before you consent
- Consent is required, and you can stop at any time
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?
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.
Can it see my screen, my files, or what I type?
No. None of those. The app only reports flagged integrity findings — and you can review exactly what would be sent 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.
How do candidates join?
You start a session from your dashboard and share a short join code — no install on your side. The candidate runs the app, points it at the code, and consents. You see a live verdict and timeline.
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-assistant tools.
What platforms are supported?
FairlyHire is Windows-first today. We’re in private beta and expanding from there.
