0 min read

Remote hiring assessments have opened the door to scale—but also to shortcuts. From impersonation attempts to second screens and hidden devices, recruiters are constantly playing defense. But what to do when traditional proctoring, whether manual or semi-automated, can’t keep up?

Enter Unstop’s 360° AI Proctoring—a smarter, safer, and more scalable way to conduct online assessments without compromising credibility or candidate experience. Whether you’re hiring at volume or vetting for niche roles, Unstop’s AI layers of security ensure every assessment is cheat-proof, smooth, and stress-free.

Let’s break down why smart AI proctoring isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore—it’s a hiring essential.

Why AI Proctoring Matters In Modern Hiring

The stakes in hiring have never been higher. And when assessments go online, maintaining integrity becomes both more important—and more complex. Here's how Unstop’s AI-enabled proctoring is reshaping the recruitment landscape:

Trust Without Travel

AI proctoring allows you to assess candidates anytime, anywhere—with the same level of trust as an in-person exam room.
What this means for you: No logistics, no travel costs, no compromised credibility.

Catch Cheating Before It Costs You

From impersonation to tab switching, cheating is real—and rising. Unstop’s 360° AI proctoring detects suspicious behavior in real time and flags it instantly.
What this means for you: Avoid wasting time on false positives or bad-fit candidates.

Scale Assessments Without Scaling Team Size

We all know that manual monitoring can't scale. But Unstop’s automated system can—they run 24*7 allow testing hundreds (or thousands) of candidates simultaneously.
What this means for you: Focus on insights, not invigilation.

Get Data, Not Just Alerts

Alerts are important when monitoring assessments in real time. But with Unstop’s AI proctoring, you also get proctoring scores, video logs, and detailed analytics to support hiring decisions.
What this means for hiring managers: Makes shortlisting evidence-based, not gut-based.

Unstop’s 360° AI Proctoring – Features That Make It Smarter

Forget static webcam checks or generic test proctoring. Unstop’s AI Proctoring brings depth, intelligence, and automation to assessments — while keeping things recruiter-friendly.

Multi-Layered Monitoring (Video, Image & Audio)

Most proctoring tools rely on webcam-only footage — missing out on subtle cheating cues. Unstop’s AI proctoring uses a multi-sensor approach, combining live video feeds, background audio analysis, and screen activity to detect anomalies in real time.

Why it matters:

You get a more accurate read of test integrity, even in unsupervised settings. Whether it’s whispering, background coaching, or sneaky device swaps, our system picks it up — so you can focus on shortlisting genuine talent.

Aadhaar-Based Face Verification

Before the test even begins, Unstop’s AI proctoring runs real-time Aadhaar-based face recognition to confirm identity. It captures live facial data and matches it with official Aadhaar ID images for airtight validation.

Why it matters:

This prevents impersonation at the source—before it becomes a bigger problem. Ideal for campus drives, high-stakes roles, or remote assessments where identity fraud risk is high.

Impersonation & Distraction Detection

Unstop’s AI proctoring flags red signals like multiple faces on screen, frequent glances away, unusual ambient noises, or detection of external devices like phones. It even captures momentary distractions most humans would miss.

Why it matters:

Instead of spending hours reviewing footage, recruiters get a clean, filtered view of suspicious behavior — making the screening process faster and more accurate.

Full-Screen & Tab-Switch Detection

Many test-takers try to sneak in answers via open tabs or split-screen notes. Unstop detects when a candidate exits full-screen, switches windows, or toggles apps — and logs each action with timestamps.

Why it matters:

You gain a transparent digital trail of test behavior. No more second-guessing who accessed external help and when.

IP Address & Geo-Location Tracking

Our system tracks where the test is being taken — down to the device IP and physical location. It automatically flags inconsistencies like IP mismatch or test attempts from unusual geographies.

Why it matters:

This helps spot coordinated cheating, offshore impersonation attempts, or unauthorized remote access—especially in assessments that require strict location controls.

Auto Recordings & Detailed Reports

Every test session is auto-recorded end-to-end, along with AI-generated behavior flags, alerts, and screen activity logs. Recruiters can review this with built-in playback, notes, and summary dashboards.

Why it matters:

Instead of relying on gut feel, you have hard evidence to justify hiring or rejection decisions. Perfect for scaling hiring across teams or when candidates challenge their results.

How It All Comes Together: Step-by-Step Proctoring In Action

So, how does Unstop’s 360° AI Proctoring actually run during a real assessment? Here’s a quick walkthrough of what happens behind the scenes:

Step 1: Candidate Authentication

Before the test begins, candidates go through Aadhaar-based face verification. A live photo is matched with their official ID — all within seconds.

This first layer weeds out impersonation right from the login.

Step 2: Monitoring Begins (Multi-Layered & Real-Time)

Once the test starts, Unstop’s AI proctoring kicks in with video, audio, and screen monitoring. It watches for multiple faces, detects background noise, tracks screen activity, and flags anything suspicious.

No human invigilator is needed — the AI stays alert throughout.

Step 3: Behavior Flags & Auto Alerts

If anything unusual happens — like a tab switch, a phone detected, or multiple people on screen — Unstop’s AI proctoring system immediately logs the incident, tags it, and sends real-time alerts.

You stay informed, without having to babysit the test.

Step 4: Session Recording + Report Generation

The entire session — from login to submission — is auto-recorded. You get a complete report with timestamps, behavioral summaries, alerts, and candidate-level risk scores.

This helps your team review edge cases faster and back decisions with data.

The Future Of Fair, Scalable Hiring Starts Here

Proctoring doesn’t have to be invasive. Or manual. Or patchy.

With Unstop’s 360° AI Proctoring, you’re not just keeping cheating in check — you’re building a hiring process that’s scalable, seamless, and future-ready. From identity verification to real-time monitoring and post-test analytics, every layer is designed to protect both your assessment integrity and your candidate experience.

No drama. No guesswork. Just data-backed decisions — and talent you can trust.
