Cheating signals: what we monitor and why it matters

Mar 31, 2026 · 5 min read

Integrity tooling should be transparent. Interview systems often overpromise “cheat detection” without explaining what they actually see or how teams are supposed to interpret those signals.

What signals mean

Tab switches, paste events, unusually long silences, or repeated fullscreen exits are not proof of cheating by themselves. They are context. Strong products surface them so humans can review patterns instead of making silent automated judgments.

The design principle

We want hiring teams to use integrity signals as supporting evidence, not as a black-box decision engine. That makes the process fairer for candidates and easier to defend for employers.
