Find candidates who are genuinely worth your time.
An AI-powered coding screen that’s as good as humans at catching cheaters, and highly predictive of real-world skills.
Trained by interviewers from top tech companies
Meet Ethan.
Your new top interviewer.
Our voice agent, Ethan, is the world’s most experienced interviewer, screening candidates at scale every day.
Ethan’s collaborative pair-programming approach puts candidates at ease, while giving deeper insight into how they break down problems and apply engineering fundamentals.
Assessments you can trust.
Our proven AI evaluation system is as accurate as human experts, and fully customizable to your roles.

We use state-of-the-art AI to detect even subtle cheating. Plus, our live video call format makes it virtually impossible to pass without true skills.
Fun, engaging experience.
Automated screens don’t have to feel impersonal. Our voice AI lets candidates ask questions, get hints, and brainstorm, just like they do with humans. (The Australian accent doesn’t hurt, either.)
Book a demoMake every minute count.
Over 80% of candidates list recruiter response times as a top complaint about the hiring process, and more than half have dropped out because of it.
Don’t let top talent slip away. Lightscreen notifies you minutes after a strong interview, with the transcript, video, code, plus highlights across key indicators. Everything you need to make a quick decision.
Candidates love us.
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.

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.
But you don’t have to take our word for it.
Our AI-powered interviews aren’t just effective - they’re fun too! Our average customer satisfaction score for candidates is over 80%. Candidates tells us every day how much they enjoy the Lightscreen interview experience.
“The way the interview adapted to my skill level was mind-blowing. Ethan gave me just the right amount of coaching to get me unstuck, but let me find my own path to a solution. Other coding assessments feel lonely now!”

“It felt basically like a usual tech interview, but with an interviewer who’s especially knowledgeable and interested in my thought process. I was able to ask questions and get hints, which was super helpful. I felt like I was able to show my best self.”
