Interview Integrity Glossary
Key terms and definitions used in interview integrity monitoring, AI detection, and compliance reporting.
- AI Copilot
- Software that provides real-time AI-generated answers or suggestions to a candidate during a live interview, often designed to be invisible to interviewers and screen-sharing tools.
- Behavioral Anomaly
- A statistically significant deviation from expected human interaction patterns, such as unnatural gaze fixation, response latency spikes, or typing rhythm irregularities, that may indicate assisted responses.
- Data Handling Tier
- A configurable privacy level that determines what data is captured, retained, and displayed in integrity reports. Ranges from Standard (full capture) to Zero Retention (no persistent storage).
- Deepfake
- AI-generated synthetic media, typically video or audio, that replaces a real person's likeness with a fabricated identity. In interview fraud, deepfakes enable identity impersonation during live video calls.
- Device Fingerprint
- A composite identifier derived from system-level attributes (OS, browser, GPU, screen resolution, timezone) used to verify the authenticity and consistency of a candidate's interview environment.
- Evidence Package
- A structured collection of supporting evidence and review context used to document an integrity concern.
- Gaze Tracking
- Analysis of eye movement patterns during a video interview to detect indicators of off-screen reading, secondary device usage, or AI tool consultation.
- Integrity Report
- A structured document that gives a reviewer a clear summary, supporting evidence, and concerns that need a human look.
- Interview Fraud
- Any deliberate attempt to misrepresent a candidate's identity, knowledge, or capabilities during an interview process, including AI assistance, identity substitution, and proxy interviewing.
- Invisible Overlay
- A transparent or semi-transparent screen element that displays AI-generated content (answers, prompts, code) visible only to the candidate, not captured by screen-sharing software.
- Proxy Interview
- A scheme in which someone other than the actual candidate conducts the interview, either in-person with identity substitution or remotely via screen-sharing and deepfake tools.
- Remote Access Detection
- Identification of remote desktop software, screen-sharing tools, or virtual machine environments that may indicate a third party is controlling or viewing the candidate's session.
- Session Monitoring
- Oversight of an interview or assessment during a defined session window to support trustworthy results and human review.
- Signal
- An observation or data point that may inform an integrity review; it requires context and is not, by itself, proof of misconduct.
- Zero Retention
- A data handling approach in which session data is not retained after the agreed processing period, subject to the organization's policy.
