It does <strong>not</strong> make hiring decisions or take automated action on candidates.</p><p> </p><h3 id=\"h_01KG0E1BQV00SJD63H4AG0AQSM\"><strong>Is AI Assistance Detection included by default?</strong></h3><p>No. AI Assistance Detection is a <strong>premium feature</strong>.</p><p>To request access, please contact your <strong>Customer Success Manager</strong>, who can confirm availability and help enable the feature for your account.</p><p> </p><h3 id=\"h_01KG0E1BQX605AWG1BFWE359AZ\"><strong>How is AI Assistance Detection configured?</strong></h3><p>AI Assistance Detection is configurable at the <strong>job level</strong>.</p><p>Once enabled for your account:</p><ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"efa3e4990103856f66f6137f8c259ecc8\">Recruiters can choose whether to enable the feature on <strong>individual jobs</strong>\n</li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e624b47d31bd179e6bb88cfb414c54825\">This allows teams to apply the feature selectively based on role requirements or interview type<br><br> </li>\n</ul><h3 id=\"h_01KG0E1BR0YRMZ9J2GRFP08CRT\"><strong>How does AI Assistance Detection work?</strong></h3><p>When enabled for a job, AIR analyzes completed interviews using an AI proctoring model.</p><p>The model reviews:</p><ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ea2b56556b249741390eeb50d4bd7bfcd\">Interview transcripts</li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ea62504e2c8bf53dd0fc597b71fadcd62\">Response timing and sequencing data</li>\n</ul><p>Rather than relying on any single response, the model looks for <strong>patterns across the full interview</strong> that may be consistent with AI-assisted or scripted responses. These patterns can include combinations of linguistic consistency, response structure, and timing behavior that differ from typical spontaneous, experience-based answers.</p><p>Based on this analysis, AIR generates a <strong>likelihood score</strong> indicating whether AI assistance may have been used during the interview.</p><p>To reduce the risk of incorrect flags, AIR is intentionally conservative and surfaces results only when confidence is high.</p><p> </p><h3 id=\"h_01KG0E1BR4VTPP4ZN10MNNAZYC\"><strong>When is an interview flagged?</strong></h3><p>An interview is flagged only when the model identifies a <strong>high likelihood</strong> of AI assistance.</p><p>When this threshold is met:</p><ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e78dd524c48adffdc1074a95f72346c3e\">\n<strong>“AI assistance detected”</strong> appears on the interview table</li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e114f764cc894ba224f5b01b277c6e501\">This label is <strong>clickable</strong>, allowing recruiters to view more details</li>\n</ul><p>The same information is also visible on the <strong>interview video page</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>When reviewing a flagged interview, recruiters can view:</p><ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e14e4c5f25b1f1033bd6a32469a581093\">The <strong>confidence score</strong>\n</li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ef87d395fa3c3fe872f181461fdec3316\">A <strong>high-level explanation</strong> of why the interview was flagged</li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ec8349b1ff8fdd3f603abff6ca5d7518c\">Relevant context alongside the interview video and transcript</li>\n</ul><p>This information is intended to support review and interpretation, not to make automated judgments.</p><p> </p><h3 id=\"h_01KG0E1BRBH6CS1XY5HSG1N57G\"><strong>Does this mean a candidate definitely used AI?</strong></h3><p>No.</p><p>AI Assistance Detection does <strong>not</strong> determine intent, confirm behavior, or label a candidate as having violated any policy.
