Learn how Interview Bolt remains completely undetectable during interviews.
Coding interview platforms employ various detection methods to prevent cheating. Here's how they try to detect tools like Interview Bolt, and how we counter each measure.
Interview Bolt has never been detected in our real interview tests by any coding platform.
Below are the common methods platforms use to detect cheating, and how Interview Bolt makes each one ineffective. Each red box shows a detection method, with our counter-measure shown in green below it.
Interviewers will ask you to share your screen on platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Hackerrank, and Coderpad.
App is invisible to screen sharing software and screenshots
Interviewers will ask you to reason out your solution and don't just want code.
Interviewers will ask you to explain your solutions. Interview Bolt comes with every line of code commented, as well as a few sentences of thoughts that will naturally lead you to a solution.
Platforms track eye movements and suspicious looking away from screen
Use ⌘ + the arrow keys to move the app with the solutions over your coding area so that your eyes never move from the code area.
Platforms will check if your cursor becomes inactive, or if you move from the active tab.
Interview Bolt is designed so that when you toggle visibility with ⌘ +B, your cursor will stay focused, and your active tab will not change at all.
Due to an unresolved bug in Electron, some WebRTC-based screen-sharing software may be able to see Interview Coder on MacOS while sharing your full screen. To see if you're affected, download the application and try to screen-share. If it shows, then you're affected. Please be careful to note this as we do not offer refunds.
