Cheaters… not so much.
Cheating detection you can rely on. Lightscreen uses industry standard cheating and plagiarism detection techniques, plus our own AI models trained to analyze behavioral patterns associated with cheating.
The numbers don’t lie. But many applicants do.
Cheating is on the rise.
With AI tools getting better every day, cheating is rampant. In one survey, one in three candidates admitted using LLMs like ChatGPT to cheat on take-home assessments, and even live interviews.
Lightscreen detects cheating using a variety of AI models trained on proprietary data, which we refine and tune every day. Beyond simple plagiarism detection techniques, we analyze subtle behavioral patterns associated with cheating that are difficult to hide.
Today’s screening tools aren’t enough.
Other automated screeners report high detection accuracy rates, but these are skewed by easy cases where cheaters paste solutions or transcribe verbatim from an external source. These days, cheaters are far more sophisticated.
We ran our own study, instructing participants to subtly cheat on similar coding challenges across several platforms. We compared results to a blind review by human experts.
Lightscreen outperforms other screening tools at detecting cheating, while reducing false positives that incorrectly blame honest candidates. Performance is within 2% of human experts.
Good engineering is more than just code.
Lightscreen is a significant step forward, but as you can see above, neither Lightscreen nor humans are perfect at catching cheaters. That’s why we believe detection is only part of the solution.
Lightscreen’s interactive format has candidates explain, justify, and reason through their approach while they work. They weigh trade-offs and refine over time, the way engineers do on the job. That’s not a problem if you’re working honestly, but much harder if you haven’t solved the problem yourself.
So, even if cheaters evade detection, they’re still filtered out by our process.
Other Screening Tools
Lightscreen
Comparison of candidates not flagged for cheating. Cheaters who evade detection tend to get perfect scores on other platforms, but significantly underperform honest candidates on Lightscreen.
An interview that’s great for candidates, too.
Our AI-powered interviews aren’t just effective, they’re fun! Our average customer satisfaction score for candidates is over 80%. Candidates tell us every day how much they prefer Lightscreen to other interview platforms.
“If you talk to anyone at my college, they’ll tell you HackerRank is easy to cheat on. It feels like a waste of my time as an applicant, because I know I’ll just get beat by cheaters. But Lightscreen rewards my thought process and approach, not just getting the right answer. It gives me confidence that my skills will help me stand out from the crowd.”

“Lightscreen’s AI interviewer was more responsive and human-like than other AI chatbots, even better than ChatGPT. The Lightscreen AI interview felt less stressful than a human interview. It allowed me to share my thought process without the pressure of being judged. ”
