The Browser is a Goldfish Bowl
Most interviews today (especially for roles in tech, marketing, and product) happen in the browser — whether it’s through platforms like CoderPad, Hackerrank, CodeSignal, or even Google Docs.
Modern browsers are designed with sandboxing:
Each tab runs in a secure, isolated environment that cannot access anything outside of itself — including other apps, system data, or your desktop.
Think of it like a goldfish bowl. The interview site can monitor what happens inside its own bubble — but it can’t see through the glass.

What Interview Platforms Can Detect 👀
What Interview Platforms Can Detect 👀
Inside their own browser tab, platforms have access to a few basic signals:
Tab Switching or Losing Focus
They know if you click outside the tab — but they have no clue what you clicked on.Pasting Code
Platforms may detect large or frequent pastes into the editor.Webcam Access (If Granted)
Some platforms ask for webcam access to monitor eye movement. It’s rare, but possible.Screen Sharing (If Requested)
If you're in a video call (Zoom, Meet, etc.), your shared screen can show what’s visible — but only what you choose to show.Typing Patterns
They might analyze typing speed, but it’s a shaky metric and easy to overestimate.

What They Can’t See 🚫
Here’s what platforms absolutely cannot do:
See Which App You Switched To
They’ll know the tab lost focus, but they won’t know where you went — Slack? A doc? Verve AI? They have no idea.Access Running Apps or Memory
Websites can’t scan your system or see other apps. There’s no browser API that allows this.Track Your Global Keyboard/Mouse Input
They only get your keystrokes inside their tab, not system-wide.Capture Invisible Overlays
Apps like Verve AI use operating system features to hide themselves from screen recordings and screen shares. Even if you're sharing your screen, Interview Copilot won’t show up.

What About Real Proctoring Software?
Can’t they just install a monitoring app on your computer? Technically, yes — but most reputable platforms won’t.
Why? Because it’s a massive security risk, raises serious privacy concerns, and would completely undermine user trust.
That’s why nearly all coding assessments stick to the browser sandbox — it’s safer for both the candidate and the company.

Bottom Lines
Most interviews today — whether coding, behavioral, product, or case-based — take place inside secure browser environments. Verve AI’s Interview Copilot runs outside that environment, by design.
Because it operates independently from the browser, standard detection methods can’t see it — no matter the interview format.
Until platforms start requiring full desktop surveillance or return to fully in-person interviews, Verve AI’s Copilot will continue to deliver real-time, undetectable support when it matters most.
