The Science

How Sherlock AI detects Interview Fraud

Sherlock AI monitors for the two fundamental ways candidates attempt to cheat in remote interviews.

Science of Sherlock AI

Sherlock AI applies a multimodal adversarial ML approach to detect interview fraud, combining signals from device activity, audio environments, and candidate behavior into a unified classifier. Rather than relying on rule-based triggers, Sherlock models natural versus adversarial interaction patterns, enabling it to recognize when behavior has been subtly engineered to evade detection. The system is retrained on adversarially enriched datasets at regular intervals, which has recently raised overall detection accuracy from ~85% to over 97%. This continual refinement ensures resilience against evolving cheating tactics while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.
