At Adaface, we have all the standard advanced proctoring to prevent candidates from using unfair means during the test.

  • Email authentication

  • IP proctoring

  • Web proctoring

  • Webcam proctoring

  • Screen proctoring

  • Copy-paste protection

  • Plagiarism detection

You can review our proctoring features in detail.

However, this contributes to 20% of the solution.

The 80% of the solution is the fact that Adaface questions are non-googleable. All questions have been created by in-house subject matter experts. If you google any of the questions, you won't find anything online. We also have crawlers to regularly check if anything is leaked online. If a question is leaked, we deprecate it from our library.

ChatGPT protection:

We regularly check which of Adaface questions can be answered by LLMs like ChatGPT and deprecate questions to make sure that candidate results are truly reflective of their skills.

In addition, you can use Screen proctoring. If this is enabled, Ada will ask candidates to share their entire screen during the test. If they leave the window or open another window during the test, Ada will capture a screenshot of their screen. So you will know which of your candidates used ChatGPT to solve the questions.

Most importantly,

While working with 1200+ companies, we have seen that cheating is significantly less frequent that people first suspect.

  • The proctoring features prevent the majority of candidates from trying to cheat.

  • Since a pre-employment test is just a first filter, it is focused on elimination, not selection. Even if 1-2 candidates have made it to the interviews using unfair means, that becomes very clear in the in-person interviews.
