Capifiq from Sales-quoted

The short answer

  • Interview Guard : Keeps your Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex calls and adds a candidate desktop app, with a published $100 a month starter plan and a 7-day trial, where Capifiq replaces the meeting tool and is quoted after a demo. From $100/mo

Why people look past Capifiq

Your interviews have to move onto Capifiq, and candidates must install its desktop client, which records the session, captures hotkey activity and lets the interviewer screenshot any of the candidate's displays, shared or not. There is no public price and no self-serve trial: a scoped pilot comes only after a demo. SOC 2 Type II is listed as in progress, and the detection claims are the vendor's own.

What we noted

  • Candidates must install a desktop client
  • No public price or self-serve trial
  • Interviews have to move off Zoom, Teams or Meet
  • SOC 2 Type II still in progress

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want to keep interviewing on Zoom, Teams or Meet
  • Buyers who need a published price or a self-serve start
  • Teams looking for an AI interviewer or automated candidate scoring

Worth keeping in mind: It is the interview room itself, not an add-on watching someone else's call, so video, a shared code pad, a whiteboard, captions and the integrity timeline all come out of one session. The vendor says it detects assistance by behaviour rather than a list of known cheat apps, so renamed or private builds are covered. It also says plainly that phones, smart glasses and earpieces leave no trace on the computer, and answers them with an included Question Engine. It never scores, ranks or rejects candidates.

What each one does differently

Interview Guard

$100/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: Keeps your Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex calls and adds a candidate desktop app, with a published $100 a month starter plan and a 7-day trial, where Capifiq replaces the meeting tool and is quoted after a demo.

Stands out: It looks for 100-plus AI helpers including ChatGPT, Cluely, and InterviewCoder, plus overlays, remote desktop, VMs, VPN location spoofing, deepfakes, and proxy input. Alerts fire during the interview. Setup is pitched as three minutes with no IT project.

Watch out: This is not the InterviewGuard.ai coding-session product. interviewguard.io is a candidate desktop app. Do not mix the two rate cards. Per-interview fees apply on top of the monthly plan.

Best for

  • TA teams seeing Cluely, InterviewCoder, and overlay tools on live screens
  • Employers that refuse to record interviews but still want fraud signals
  • Desks on Zoom, Teams, Meet, or Webex that can require a 30-second candidate install

HireID

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Watches Zoom, Meet and Teams for deepfake, proxy and ID fraud with ID-to-face matching, without moving interviews onto a new platform.

Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.

Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.

Best for

  • TA teams seeing proxy interviews and deepfakes on Zoom, Meet, or Teams
  • Employers that need ID-to-face matching before an offer, not after a background check
  • Staffing desks that must explain every fraud signal to a client or counsel

Endorsed

$249/user/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Screens applicants for fraud signals at the application stage, before any interview is booked, with a free trial and published pricing.

Stands out: It catches fraud at the application stage, before anyone books an interview, by combining network signals (IP, device, VPN, phone and email) with resume and social checks, where most fraud tools in this category watch the live video interview. The pricing page publishes signal counts, accuracy claims and exactly what each tier includes.

Watch out: Endorsed began as an AI applicant review and sourcing tool and now leads with fraud detection, with applicant review sold as an add-on, so check the current product matches what you need. The three seat annual minimum puts Growth at roughly $9,000 a year before add-ons, and volume is capped at 5 jobs per user. Accuracy figures are the vendor's own.

Best for

  • TA teams hiring remote engineering or IT roles that attract fake applicants
  • Recruiters who want fraud flags inside the ATS before scheduling interviews
  • Teams that also want AI ranking of real applicants against written criteria
