Capifiq
Interview platform with built-in detection of hidden AI help, remote control, virtual cameras and deepfakes, plus a sealed evidence record. No candidate scoring.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Capifiq replaces Zoom or Teams for interviews only. The candidate joins through a desktop client that checks the machine for hidden AI assistants, remote control, virtual machines and virtual cameras, and every finding lands in a timestamped, sealed report a person reviews. Pricing is per interview credit (credits never expire, seats are unlimited) and is quoted only after a demo. Best for technical hiring teams and staffing desks seeing AI-coached or proxy candidates in remote interviews.
Stands out for: 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.
Watch out for: 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.
Overview
Capifiq is a video interview platform built around interview integrity, from Capifiq Inc. of Dover, Delaware. It replaces the meeting tool for interviews only, so your ATS, calendar and assessment tools stay where they are, and interviews scheduled in Capifiq flow back to the ATS record.
Interviewers join from the browser and candidates join through the Capifiq desktop client, which doubles as the integrity check. During the session it looks for hidden desktop and browser AI assistants, remote-control sessions, virtual machines and emulators, virtual cameras (blocked at join), display tampering, injected input devices and VPN or location masking. Each finding is a timestamped, cryptographically hashed event.
Deepfake, cloned voice and face consistency cues are labelled separately as model-derived signals and routed to a person. After the interview a second AI pass correlates the full timeline into a sealed integrity report, and the reviewer who dispositions it cannot be the interviewer who ran the session.
The room includes a shared code pad, a whiteboard, live captions with speaker labels, private interviewer notes and email-invited panelists, and optional live ID card verification. Every interview is recorded and transcribed, and evidence is kept to match your retention policy. The included Question Engine prepares questions meant to hold up against help software cannot see, such as a phone by the webcam or AI smart glasses.
Pricing is credit-based: one credit per interview, credits never expire, seats are unlimited and larger packs cost less per interview. Per-credit rates are quoted in a demo, and qualified teams get a scoped pilot after a technical demo. The detection method is patent pending.
Who it's for
Best for

- Staffing agencies that want evidence a submitted candidate interviewed without outside help

- Buyers who need a published price or a self-serve start
- Teams looking for an AI interviewer or automated candidate scoring
Key features
On-device cheating detection. The candidate's desktop client looks for hidden desktop and browser AI assistants, remote-control sessions, virtual machines, virtual cameras (blocked at join), display tampering, injected input devices and VPN or location masking, and the vendor says it detects behaviour rather than a list of known app names.
Sealed integrity report. Every finding is a timestamped, cryptographically hashed event, compiled after the interview into a sealed report for a reviewer who did not run the session.
Shared code pad and whiteboard. Coding and system design work happens inside the interview, with live captions, private interviewer notes and email-invited panelists.
Question Engine. Included with every account, it prepares questions meant to resist off-device help such as a phone, earpiece or AI smart glasses.
