WeCP is an Austin- and Bangalore-based AI HR Tech startup that crafts tools for augmenting recruiting and upskilling teams to pinpoint talent worth investing in.

-- WeCP, an AI HR startup based in Austin, TX, and Bangalore, India, has officially showcased Sherlock, a new tool for preventing AI-assisted cheating in remote interviews.

A company spokesperson said the team has encountered many companies who had the experience of interviewing a promising candidate remotely that showed promise but also signs of cheating.

The spokesperson stated: “Many of our clients are left wondering if such candidates are genuinely talented, or they are quietly reading out responses generated by an AI tool like ChatGPT running in the background.”

The representative pointed out that in a world of AI-generated answers, distinguishing genuine talent from scripted responses has become increasingly difficult.

Sherlock was crafted to seamlessly integrate with popular interviewing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Candidates simply open a Sherlock-protected interview link with no complicated setup required.

The AI agent then silently cuts off any access to AI tools and monitors real-time subtle cues like answering style, eye movements, AI-generated answers, and even background whispers.

In a recent widely discussed incident, Sherlock detected and blocked an AI-cheating tool suspected of providing unauthorized assistance during a remote coding interview conducted by a major tech company.

The candidate was using this AI cheating app that was silently generating perfect coding answers in real time. Sherlock detected unusual patterns, flagged suspicious activity, and prevented the candidate from completing the interview unfairly.

"We built Sherlock to eliminate even the slightest possibility of cheating and keep the integrity of remote hiring intact," the WeCP team stated. "While traditional monitoring systems rely heavily on manual oversight and produce frequent false alarms, Sherlock intelligently identifies real cheating, providing hiring teams peace of mind and clarity."

Sherlock’s AI capabilities are based on three pillars: Vision, which detects and flags suspicious visual behavior such as multiple faces or unusual eye movements, Hearing, where the tool recognizes voice prompts, external coaching, and AI-generated answers, and Reasoning, where Sherlock reasons on top of the behavioral patterns, catching unusual interactions indicative of external assistance or scripted responses.

The WeCP team invites anyone interested to book a demo and check how Sherlock can protect the integrity of any remote hiring process. The team points out that demos are not generic but focused on the unique needs of the company involved, customized around the exact hiring process and potential pain points.

Sherlock stands out as WeCP’s latest tool for revolutionizing remote testing and interviewing processes through innovative AI-driven solutions. WeCP is trusted by Fortune 100 companies and has evaluated hundreds of thousands of technical professionals. The team states it takes great pride in delivering reliable, efficient, and secure talent assessments worldwide.
