Sherlock is praised for its effectiveness in combating AI-assisted cheating during remote interviews, a growing concern in the digital age. Users appreciate its ability to maintain interview integrity, allowing talent acquisition teams to focus on genuine interactions. However, some users report issues with integration, specifically with Google Meet, and difficulties in reaching customer support. Overall, Sherlock is seen as an essential tool for ensuring fairness and authenticity in remote interview processes.
What if the candidate uses eye contact correction? They might read something off their phone, for example, but their eyes won't move away from the camera
@zot Great question!
Sherlock adapts to each candidate's behavior and looks for subtle cues beyond just eye movement. Even with eye contact correction, it analyzes multiple signals to understand where the candidate's attention is focused.
In the future, we're planning to introduce a heatmap feature that will show where the candidate is primarily focused on the screen during the interview, adding another layer of visibility.
We’re constantly evolving the system to stay ahead of these edge cases!
@abhishek_nellikkalaya oh, I see that the heatmap feature can be a good manual check if all automation fails. Great product addition

@skabhi not many makers here think through such things. Very cool! Congratulations on your launch 👏
@zot Next is gonna be how to counter effect Sherlock detection hahah
I LOVE the logo & the name - This product seems insane.
I'm not in the process of hiring people etc. although seriously tempted to get someone in interview w/ AI & see what happens - Very exciting stuff!!
Best of luck to you team!!
@cranqnow Thank you so much! 🙌
We had a lot of fun coming up with the name and designing the logo. Glad it resonated!
Even if you're not hiring right now, feel free to try it out just for fun. Sherlock’s always ready to catch some action!
Appreciate the kind words and support. Means a lot to the team!
@cranqnow Hi, Sam
It's beautiful that you'll be trying out the app.
I'm adept at creating content strategy, content creation/writing, and building personal brands for professionals.
Do you have any open roles in this line?
This looks like a promising solution for maintaining interview integrity. However, I recently came across a LinkedIn post by Manikandan where he shared video evidence showing that Sherlock was unable to detect his AI-assisted tool during an interview simulation. Could you clarify if this has been addressed or if there are updates in the pipeline to handle such bypass techniques?

@joseph_michel Many people are now using open-source code from AI-based cheating apps to customize and build their own versions. These often take the form of AI teleprompter overlays that sit on top of interview screens, making them extremely hard to detect.
At Sherlock, we’ve built a feature specifically to counter this. Even if a candidate is using a custom-built app, Sherlock can detect what applications are currently running on their system during the interview. This gives interviewers the power to explicitly allow or disallow specific apps in real-time.
This way, Sherlock effectively neutralizes these AI cheating tools—even the customized ones—by giving full visibility and control back to the interviewer.
@skabhi Appreciate the response, Abhishek — but if Sherlock can only detect certain applications then what's the point for paying you ?, isn’t that a fundamental limitation?
If sophisticated cheating tools can still slip through by avoiding detection , then what’s the real advantage of using Sherlock over standard proctoring solutions?
