THE CHALLENGE

Authenticity Has Become Harder to Verify

The rise of AI tools has created new challenges in hiring:

  • Candidates can use AI to generate answers in real time
  • Screen-sharing and second devices go undetected
  • Identity fraud undermines the validity of results
  • Traditional proctoring methods are too slow and expensive to scale

Without proper safeguards, assessment scores lose their predictive power and bad hires slip through. 

 

THE SOLUTION

AI-Powered Proctoring Built for High-Volume Hiring 

Criteria AI Proctoring uses advanced monitoring technology to detect suspicious behavior and verify authenticity, all without adding friction to candidate's experience. 

Our proctoring solution includes:

Image Capture

Automatic candidate photos taken throughout the assessment detect if someone else takes over.

HOW IT WORKS

Seamless Security Built Into Every Step of the Process

  1. Pre-Assessment Verification: Candidate’s image is captured before the assessment begins.
  2. Continuous Monitoring: AI captures the session through periodic image, screen, and audio samples, and flags anomalies.
  3. Post-Assessment Review: Your team receives a clear proctoring report with flagged incidents and supporting evidence for review.
  4. Confident Decisions: Move forward knowing your assessment results reflect genuine candidate ability.
