Questions
Can this tool tell me if an interview was a proxy?
No. It sorts what you noticed and shows which pattern that sits closest to. It is guidance, not a finding about a person. It cannot tell you who was on the call.
Are my answers saved or sent anywhere?
No. The tool runs in your browser. Your answers are not saved or sent, and they are gone when you reload or close the page. It asks for no names, and there are no uploads.
Why does it show no score?
A score would look more certain than a few remembered signs can be. So the result stays in plain words: Needs a look, or Can't tell from this.
Why does it not ask about accent or location?
Accent, name, nationality, visa and location say nothing about who is answering, and using them is unfair to candidates. They are never used here, and they should stay out of your notes.
Should I reject a candidate because of this result?
No. Lag, nerves and a poor connection can explain any of these signs. Use the result to choose a fair next step, such as a short follow-up call, and keep your notes to what you saw.
What is the difference between a proxy interview and a hidden AI tool?
In a proxy interview, someone other than the applicant answers or helps them answer. With a hidden AI tool, the applicant is there and reads suggested answers from their screen. The guide to proxy interviews covers the common forms.
Rather not go on signs alone?
Verified Call checks the call itself.
