Diopter

Know when a candidate is answering with AI.

Diopter reads how a candidate responds, the answer pattern and the timing, and flags AI-assisted or coached answers in real time. You evaluate the person, not the model behind them.

Fake candidates are not interview cheating. They are getting hired, and paid.

Stolen identities, face-masked impostors, and AI-coached answers move through polished remote interviews and onto payroll. The question is no longer whether someone glanced off-screen. It is whether you are evaluating, and about to pay, the real person at all.

The threat posed is both real and immediate. Thousands have been trained and deployed to blend into the global digital workforce and systematically target US companies.

Others check if the video is fake. We confirm the candidate is real.

One AI-polished answer can read as good preparation. Scored against response timing, delivery, and identity signals across the whole interview, the pattern gives itself away.

Single-frame detectors

Deepfake checkers and interview-monitoring tools answer one narrow question at a time: is this clip fake, did the candidate glance away. Each check passes on its own, and the fake walks through.

Diopter

Diopter reads the whole interview instead: who the applicant claims to be, what the live video and voice are doing, and how the person actually answers over time. Every signal is fused into one verdict on whether the candidate is who they claim to be. Not a pile of alerts. One decision.

  • Applicant and email screen
  • Live synthetic video and voice
  • Answer pattern and response timing

Four gates. One verdict.

Every stage gets a read. The tripped gate is why the verdict says what it says.

Point checks let a fake pass one gate at a time. Fused signals catch what each gate misses.

Four layers of protection in one recruiter workspace.

Everything runs inside the interview you already schedule. Nothing changes for the candidate.

AI-cheating detection

Evaluate the candidate, not the model feeding them answers. Diopter reads answer patterns, response latency, and timing against how real candidates talk, and flags AI-assisted or coached answers as they happen.

  • AI-generated answers flagged in real time
  • Timing and delivery scored against real candidates
  • Preparation distinguished from live coaching

Offense informs defense

Our engineers build convincing real-time deepfakes as part of the work. The detection is built by people who know exactly what a fake candidate looks like on a live call.

What candidate fraud is costing you right now.

Every remote hire is a sanctions bet. Hire one North-Korean-linked or otherwise sanctioned worker and OFAC penalties apply whether you knew or not. Enter two numbers for a rough picture of the yearly cost.

Estimated annual cost
$207K

$20K wasted interview time + $187K expected OFAC exposure

One sanctioned hire
up to$3.8Min OFAC penalties

Every pay period a sanctioned worker is paid is a separate violation, up to the $377,700 statutory maximum each, with no cap on the total. About 10 pay periods on payroll is up to $3.8M for one hire, on strict liability you owe even if you never knew. Around 6.6 of your remote hires a year turn out fraudulent, and it takes one sanctioned worker among them.

Sanctions basis: Treasury, State, and FBI DPRK IT worker advisory

The questions every talent team asks.

Diopter does not punish preparation. It distinguishes a person who prepared well from answers that are being generated or fed in real time, and it reports what it saw so your team makes the judgment call.

No single signal decides anything. Diopter fuses identity, media, and behavioral signals across the whole interview, and anything short of high confidence lands as a flag for human review, not an accusation.

No. Nothing changes for the candidate: no plugin, no install, no extra link. Diopter works on the recruiter's side of the interview you already scheduled on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.

Verdicts, transcripts, and notes are built to land in the tools you already use. ATS and CRM sync is scoped and rolled out with your team during onboarding.
