Fraud and cheat detection for technical hiring: confirm and verify who the candidate is and how they did the work

Fraud and cheat detection for technical hiring: confirm and verify who the candidate is and how they did the work

Identity checks run on every session. The full screen and every AI prompt are recorded, and the candidate's own explanation is compared with what they did. Fake profiles, cheating red flags, and copy-pasted answers show up before your engineers spend time on them.

Key outcomes

for tech and engineering teams

Confirm the candidate is who they claim to be

Selfie verification, VPN and proxy detection, and a location check against the resume run in the background of every session.

See exactly how the work was done

The whole screen is recorded and every AI prompt is listed with a timestamp. Pasting the full problem into an AI tool is flagged.

Check what candidates say against what they did

Candidates record a short explanation after the Task. Each claim is marked as supported or unsupported by the recording.

Spot fake and inflated profiles easily

Resume, LinkedIn and GitHub are checked for evidence behind each skill, so copied resumes and template projects get flagged.

Solve your top challenges with technical assessments

Fraud, fake profiles, and cheating challenges

Utkrusht solutions

AI tools answer coding tests in seconds. Rankings get boosted by copy-paste

Candidates work in a deployed system with AI allowed, and are scored on how they direct it and check its output

The person who takes the assessment is a different person from the one who joins

A selfie verification link confirms the same person at interview and onboarding

Another candidate solves it and passes the solution across

Screen and camera are recorded for the whole Task, and the candidate explains their approach on video afterwards

Every resume looks the same, and what's written on paper often isn't true

Each skill demonstrated in the Task is marked as strong evidence, basic evidence or mention only

Remote interviews are so easy to cheat that teams call candidates into the office

Proof of skill is on record before the interview, so remote hiring stays workable

Features that

make Utkrusht different than others

Your current hiring methods have leakages that we fix

Evaluation method

Identity signals on every session

VPN and proxy use, residential or data-center IP, and login location compared with the resume. Shown as signals for your team to judge.

Verification

Selfie verification

Send a link at the interview or onboarding stage. It confirms the person in front of you is the one who took the Task.

Deepfakes and anti-cheating

Prompt trail and screen recording

Every prompt is timestamped and marked generic or specific. Jump to the exact moment in the video.

Non-leakable Tasks

An explanation check

A two to three minute video after the Task, transcribed and compared claim by claim with what the candidate did.

AI-written resumes tailored to the job description. Keyword scores get gamed

Fit scores separate demonstrated skill from a bare mention, with the evidence shown

High test scores, bad interviews. Candidates can't explain their own code

Candidates debug and fix a running system with AI allowed. The recording and prompt trail show who did the thinking

Preset question banks. Candidates arrive already prepared

  • "Utkrusht has been pivotal for us. Their assessment tests help us find the candidates with required technical skills and their detailed analysis improved our time spent on interviewing candidates significantly. We now realise how much time we used to waste on screening"

    Jaydeep Roman

    VP of Products, Wybrid

  • "Relying solely on recruiter agencies not only took 2-3 months on average, but we still ended up interviewing candidates who couldn't deliver desired code. With Utkrusht, we shortlisted 3 strong candidates in just a week, and every single one of them could build robust code!"

    Harshal Bhakta

    Co-founder, Cital

  • “We’ve hired developers who looked great on paper but collapsed in real projects. Utkrusht's platform changed that. Now we don’t guess, we see how they code and work under real conditions. The quality of our hires has gone way up, and we’re no longer wasting time on interviews that go nowhere.”

    Atul

    Co-founder & COO, ScaleReal

  • "AI-based assessments have helped us speed up our recruitment process while improving the quality of hiring.

    The detailed technical evaluations make it easier to make quick and confident decisions. What really stands out is the team’s personalized support, quick response. Overall, it has been a great experience working with this innovative tool and the amazing people at Utkrusht."

    Arun Bhimani

    VP of Technology, InTech Solutions

  • "We evaluated at least 15 other skill assessment tools which are out there. They are good, but they test candidates on algorithm questions and theory knowledge. None showed us how someone would actually perform on our team. With Utkrusht, I watched candidates work through the same debugging and optimization problems my engineers face daily. That's when I knew who to hire."

    Husna Kouser

    Director of HR, Skills Agency

  • "We were spending 15 hours a week screening resumes and doing first-round calls. Most candidates couldn't even explain their own projects and things they wrote on their resume.. Utkrusht's 20-minute real-job simulation assessments cut through that. We now just know before interviewing candidates they have shown strong technical skills."

    Vedang Manerikar

    Founder, Unravel Tech

  • "My senior developers were spending 20+ hours a week doing code pairing sessions and reviewing take-home assignments. With Utkrusht, All candidates complete the same “build something” assessment, the platform stack ranks them automatically, and I get a clear top 10. So we now only interview candidates who've already shown clear proof-of-skill."

FAQs

If AI is allowed, what counts as cheating?

Two candidates with the same AI tool reach very different results. The report scores HOW they used AI, how specific their prompts were, whether they checked the AI's output, and whether they verified the fix.

Using AI is fine. Having someone else take the Task, hiding your identity, or submitting work you can't explain is what gets flagged.

Which fraud checks run on each session?

VPN and proxy detection, IP type, location compared with the resume, selfie verification, and a check that one person is on camera and speaking.

If candidates can use AI, how do you know who is good?

Two candidates with the same AI tool reach very different results. The report scores HOW they used AI, how specific their prompts were, whether they checked the AI's output, and whether they verified the fix.

Is a candidate rejected automatically when a flag is raised?

Flags are signals with evidence attached. Your team makes the decision.

Can identity be confirmed again at the interview or on joining day?

Yes. Send the selfie verification link at either stage and it is matched with the Task session.
