Test the path,
not the answer.
AI is excellent at producing correct-looking answers. It is weak at reconstructing the specific, messy trajectory of having actually built something. CheckAnyCandidate turns the claims on a CV into interview probes that reward lived experience over polished recall.
A human interviewer always decides. No AI verdict, no scores, no surveillance.
We do not ban AI. We test the judgment using it well still requires.
A candidate who says “I’d use an LLM for the first draft, then verify X and Y” is a strong signal, not a disqualified one. Our probes target the dead ends, the trade-off that was rejected, the thing that broke in production. That reasoning cannot be outsourced to any model.
How it works
Three steps from CV paste to live interview.
Extract claims
Paste a CV and job description. We surface the specific, testable technical claims in the candidate's own words.
Generate trajectory probes
Each probe targets one claim with a mechanic anchored to that candidate's trajectory. Pre-generated answers do not fit.
Capture structured evidence
During the interview, tick which signals you observed. The scorecard is yours to write. A human always decides.
Four probe mechanics
Each mechanic is anchored to the candidate's own CV claims, not a generic question bank.
Pose a realistic scenario from their domain, then change a constraint partway through. Tests whether they re-reason or recite a memorised path.
Surface two claims from their CV that are in tension and ask them to reconcile. Shows whether the CV reflects real, coherent work.
Show a broken version of the kind of thing they said they built. Hands-on familiarity is immediately visible. Surface description is not.
Show a plausible but flawed AI-generated solution and ask them to critique it. Tests judgment, the one thing AI cannot outsource in real work.
Built for six engineering roles at launch
Each role has a curated probe library reviewed and approved before use. More roles added based on what teams need.
- Senior Backend Engineer
- Senior Frontend Engineer
- Senior Full-stack Engineer
- Senior Data Engineer
- Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer
- Engineering Manager
What we claim, and what we deliberately do not
We claim
- Sharper signal on whether a candidate did the work they describe.
- A structured, comparable interview across candidates for the same role.
- Probes a candidate cannot fully pre-generate, because they are anchored to their claims and adapt live.
- An outcomes loop that improves probe quality over time.
We do not claim
- That we detect AI use or cheating.
- That we score or rank people automatically.
- That we are a proctoring or surveillance tool.
- That we predict job performance with a model.
We score answer content, never timing or behaviour. No keystroke timing, webcam, eye-tracking, or audio. The scorecard recommendation is a human input, never a model output.
