Hey {{First Name | there}},
Remote interviews now come with a side of ChatGPT, and sometimes a deepfake.
A new HirePro report found that nearly half of the assessments it analysed showed an integrity concern.
Not all of that is cheating, but “trust the webcam” is no longer a hiring strategy.
Three tools for interviewing at scale without taking everyone’s word for it: an enterprise platform with an integrity layer, a voice AI with cheating flags built in, and a Bengaluru-built platform with deepfake detection.

🧠 Here's a TOOLiee Fun Fact!
45% of assessments analysed in HirePro’s 2026 integrity report showed an integrity concern, up from 32% in FY22. The study draws on roughly one million assessments and 100,000 interviews a year. A flag isn’t proof of cheating, but it’s a lot of smoke.
💡 Knowledge Bytes
📌 AI-assisted cheating made up 12% of assessment malpractice and grew 50% in a single year, and it accounts for 18% of interview malpractice.
📌 Conventional identity fraud fell from 65% of interview malpractice in FY23 to 28% in FY26. The report says fraud is evolving toward more sophisticated methods.
📌 Perception and evidence don’t match. Clevry’s research, reported in April 2026, found 62% of HR and talent professionals believe candidates use AI to cheat, but only 26% had actually seen evidence of applicants manipulating results.

Analytics on Live Data Without Leaving Postgres
When analytics on Postgres slows down, most teams add a second database. Then they manage pipelines, sync lag, and drift forever. TimescaleDB extends Postgres instead. Analytics run on live data, in the database you already have. No pipeline. No migration. No new query language.
1️⃣ HireVue
Enterprise hiring platform with AI interviews, assessments, and video interviewing, plus an integrity layer for assessments and interviews that flags cheating and fraud signals for human review.
Why HRs love HireVue
📌 Integrity checks include browser-focus tracking, paste controls, candidate snapshots, ID verification, and fraud reporting.
📌 Flags are signals for a human to review, not automatic rejections, with the evidence in one report.
📌 Checks are configured by role risk, so every candidate isn’t treated like a suspect.
📌 One platform for AI interviews, assessments, and video interviews, with 45+ ATS integrations.
2️⃣ Goodfit
Voice AI that gives every applicant the same first interview, by phone or browser link, in 14 languages. It scores each skill against a rubric and marks cheating flags with timestamps for a person to review.
Why HRs love Goodfit
📌 Browser interviews check the webcam for a second person, earbuds, a phone and notes, and log tab switches and AI assistant add-ons.
📌 The AI asks for a real example and follows up when an answer stays general, which is hard to script.
📌 Each flag opens that moment in the recording, and nobody is rejected for a flag alone.
📌 20 free assessments, then ₹100 each, with no seats or annual contract.
3️⃣ InCruiter
Bengaluru-based interview platform combining AI interviews, video interviews, and coding tests with built-in proctoring and, since early 2026, deepfake detection.
Why HRs love InCruiter
📌 Deepfake detection runs during the interview, covering facial impersonation and AI-generated voice.
📌 Proctoring checks include dual voice detection, multiple-face detection, ID verification, tab-switching and copy-paste restrictions, and mandatory screen sharing.
📌 Flagged sessions come with an audit report showing timestamps, trust scores, and detailed flags, so reviewers can see what triggered it.
📌 Has a network of expert interviewers for the rounds where you want a human running the conversation.

Stop Making Shoppers Spell It Out
“Running shos” shouldn’t return zero results. Neither should “red waterprof trail runners under $150.”
Traditional search needs exact keywords. Gladly understands what shoppers mean, typos and all, and turns dead-end searches into products that fit what they asked for.
