Stop AI-assisted interview fraud
before it impacts hiring decisions.
With Rebecca AI, hiring time can be reduced by over 80% while hiring costs decrease by up to 60%. However, even the best screening process is ineffective if the applicant is not who they claim to be. Rebecca Guard is the essential layer of protection against fraud during interviews — using AI to scan each interviewee and detect prohibited tools, remote access software, live transcriptions, and more.

Why interview fraud is costing companies millions.
Interview cheating via AI has gone from a small issue to a major part of the hiring process. Candidates can access real-time AI answer generators, covert coaching tools, and ghost interviewers remotely — showing abilities they do not actually possess. The cost shows up in missed goals, delayed ramp-up, and quick turnover, months after the hire.
Interview fraud risks and their cost.
What is AI-assisted interview fraud?
Interview fraud committed with the help of AI refers to any instance where an individual receives assistance within the context of a live interview. Recruiters particularly struggle with traditional video interviews because interviewers see only the candidate — not the technology or assistance available on their device. Rebecca Guard was created to resolve this visibility gap.
- Live, remotely generated responses to technical and non-technical interview questions
- Desktop chat response suggestions received through use by an interview candidate
- Hidden coaching tools that overlay prompts on the screen for an interview candidate's use
- Remote control software that permits a third party to manipulate an interview
- Live transcription tools that automatically provide responses to an external party
What is Rebecca Guard?
Rebecca Guard is a desktop application designed to enhance the Rebecca AI interview process through AI security measures. It operates on the candidate's machine — macOS or Windows — and verifies that the interview was completed under fair and consistent standards alongside the browser-based interview.
Rebecca Guard does not score candidate answers or make hiring decisions. Its purpose is to verify that no restricted applications were running on the candidate's device during the interview — so recruiters can trust the results they receive.
Enable Cheat Block in one toggle.
Recruiters turn on Rebecca Guard when creating an interview. Candidates complete a pre-interview device check that scans for prohibited apps before the session starts — ensuring every interview begins in a secure environment.
How Rebecca Guard works.
Download Rebecca Guard
The candidate downloads Rebecca Guard through the link provided by the recruiter.
Launch & Begin Interview

How can recruiters detect AI cheating?
Most recruiters have an inherent feeling that something is off — but there is no reliable method to manually detect these signs at scale. Rebecca Guard assesses the applications running on candidates' devices, giving recruiters a compliance-based signal rather than an opinion-based one.
- Answers seem rehearsed, with unnatural delays between questions and responses
- Candidates continually look toward a secondary screen during the interview
- Warning signs are easy to miss when reviewing high volumes of video interviews
- Remote interviews lose contextual clues that in-person interviews provide
- Video only captures what happened — not the applications running on the candidate's desktop
- Individual gut checks cannot scale across hundreds or thousands of candidates
What business benefits does fraud detection deliver?
Using integrity software is more than risk management — it enables every team member who conducts interviews to improve both the quality and efficiency of each hire.
Improved Hiring Accuracy
Evaluate candidate skills based upon actual performance rather than responses provided by AI.
Reduced Bad Hires
Identify fraudulent interviews prior to making costly hiring mistakes by utilizing interview integrity software.
Interview Standardization
Ensure every candidate is assessed consistently, creating a fairer hiring process.
Recruiter Confidence
Trust that interview scores, transcripts, and references contain verified interview integrity.
Enterprise Compliance
Establish consistent hiring standards between teams, regions, and cycles with the Interview Integrity System.
Why interview integrity matters for hiring success.
Hiring someone based on interview forgeries leads to downstream effects that multiply. Preventing recruitment fraud is a direct impact on the quality of every person you hire.
Bad Hire Costs
Each bad hire carries re-recruitment, onboarding, and management costs that multiply downstream.
Turnover Impact
Employees with misrepresented skills generally leave within a few months of being hired.
Productivity Impact
Teams fill in for the gap between when an employee underperforms and when you identify it.
Hiring Quality & Employer Brand
Each falsified hire sets a lower standard for future hiring. If standards slip, both candidates and employees notice.
What does Rebecca Guard monitor?
Rebecca Guard was built as candidate authentication software, not surveillance software. It operates visibly from the macOS menu bar or Windows system tray — never as a hidden background application.

Best use cases for AI cheating detection.
- Staffing and recruiting firms handling large volumes of candidates
- Enterprise hiring teams standardizing global interview processes
- BPO recruitment companies with remote or distributed candidate populations
- High-volume recruiting where manual review does not work at scale
- Technical recruiting where AI-generated answers are difficult to detect auditorily
- Campus recruiting where candidates are most likely testing new AI tools
How verification protects the candidate experience.
Before interviews, candidates receive a simple download link along with a short Disclosure, Consent & Privacy Notice clarifying what Rebecca Guard does and doesn't do. The app is on-screen while running, doesn't require special permissions, and automatically deletes itself about an hour after download.
Neither accessibility nor assistive technologies are targeted unless the recruiting organization specifically identifies them as prohibited. Our objective is a fair interview — not one that intimidates the candidate.
Frequently asked questions.
Non-approved applications — for example AI interview assistants, AI chat applications, remote access applications, and live transcription applications — are determined by the recruiting organization through their policies via Rebecca Guard.
Rebecca Guard does nothing more than check for whether a prohibited application is running on the candidate's device. It does not analyze the candidate's actions or responses, nor does it monitor how the candidate uses their computer.
Rebecca Guard has been developed as minimally intrusive. There are no screen recordings, screenshots taken, keystrokes monitored, cameras or microphones accessed, personal files or messages viewed, or browsing histories accessed.
Candidates are able to uninstall Rebecca Guard at any time by themselves. The application is also designed to expire and uninstall approximately one hour after the time it was downloaded or installed.
For recruiting organizations to verify the conditions under which interviews were conducted, Rebecca Guard provides the ability to check for any non-authorized assistance that may have been available through non-approved applications.
Rebecca Guard is available for both macOS and Windows operating systems. When running, Rebecca Guard is clearly visible as an application to the user.
The results of the application scans are sent mainly locally between Rebecca Guard and the interview session. Any shared compliance information with the recruiting platform is governed by the recruiting organization's documented privacy and data handling practices.
