Introducing Feenyx Video Analyzer: Reading Detection for Interview Integrity
Remote interviewing has made hiring faster and more scalable—more candidates, quicker scheduling, and broader reach. But it can also introduce a new challenge:
How do you confidently assess interview integrity when the interviewer isn’t physically in the room?
That’s why we’re excited to announce the release of Video Analyzer, a new capability within the Feenyx product suite. Feenyx Video Analyzer helps users analyze MP4 interview recordings and surface potentially suspicious activity that may occur while a candidate answers interview questions.
Today, we’re launching with our first metric: Reading Detection analysis—and we’ll be expanding with additional integrity metrics over time.
Why Feenyx built Video Analyzer
In a traditional interview, the setting provides context. You can observe whether someone is reading, being coached, or reacting to something off-screen.
In recorded or asynchronous interviews, you gain consistency and convenience—but it’s harder to detect behaviors that might impact the validity of responses.
Hiring teams told us they wanted help answering questions like:
- “Is the candidate responding naturally, or reading from a script?”
- “Are there moments in the response that deserve a closer look?”
- “How can we scale interview review without compromising integrity?”
Feenyx Video Analyzer is designed to address these needs with a simple idea:
Provide integrity signals that help reviewers focus attention where it matters—without replacing human judgment.
What Feenyx Video Analyzer does
Feenyx Video Analyzer analyzes an MP4 interview recording and highlights moments that may merit review based on behavioral signals. It’s built for:
- Feenyx customers who want deeper insight and faster review workflows
- Prospective customers exploring how to strengthen trust and consistency in remote interviews
Instead of relying entirely on intuition or time-consuming manual review, your team gets structured signals—starting with Reading Detection.
Standalone and platform-agnostic: works with Zoom and Microsoft Teams recordings
Feenyx Video Analyzer is designed to work standalone, so you don’t need to change your interview tooling.
If you’re already running interviews on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, no problem:
- Record your interview as you normally do in Zoom or Teams
- Export / download the recording as an MP4
- Upload the recording to Feenyx Video Analyzer
- Receive a Feenyx video analysis report to support your review process
In other words, your interview platform stays the same—Feenyx simply adds an additional layer of integrity signals on top of the recordings you already have.
Launch feature: Reading Detection analysis
Our first released metric is Reading Detection, which helps identify patterns that may indicate a candidate is reading from off-screen text (such as a script, prepared answers, or a prompt) while responding to interview questions.
How Reading Detection helps hiring teams
Feenyx Reading Detection can support reviewers by helping them:
- Spot potentially scripted responses that sound polished but may not reflect real-time thinking
- Identify sections to re-watch without scrubbing through the entire recording
- Apply consistent review criteria across candidates and roles
- Reduce review time by focusing attention on key moments
What it is not
Reading Detection is not a “gotcha” feature, and it’s not a lie detector.
There are many legitimate reasons someone may look away from the camera, including:
- Nervousness or anxiety
- Thinking and recall
- Accessibility needs or accommodations
- Language translation support
- Using notes in a permitted way
That’s why Feenyx positions this as an analysis signal, not an automated verdict. The goal is to support fair review, not make decisions on your behalf.
How it fits into your Feenyx interview review workflow
Feenyx Video Analyzer is built to be practical for real hiring workflows—especially when you’re reviewing many interviews.
A typical process looks like this:
- Record or receive an interview (for example, via Zoom or Microsoft Teams)
- Download the recording as MP4
- Run Feenyx Video Analyzer by uploading the MP4
- Review highlighted moments alongside full response context
- Use insights as one input in your broader evaluation process
- Document observations consistently across interviewers and hiring teams
This helps you balance two important priorities:
- Move quickly without sacrificing quality
- Scale remote hiring while maintaining confidence in interview integrity
Who benefits most from Feenyx Video Analyzer
Feenyx Video Analyzer is especially valuable for teams who:
Hire at scale
When reviewing dozens—or hundreds—of interviews, you need consistency. Video Analyzer helps reviewers focus and standardize what “needs a second look.”
Use asynchronous or recorded interviews
If your process relies on recordings instead of live interviews, Video Analyzer provides additional context that’s harder to capture asynchronously.
Want a fairer, more consistent review process
Signals can reduce over-reliance on “gut feel” and help teams apply criteria more uniformly across candidates and reviewers.
Privacy, transparency, and responsible use
Feenyx believes integrity tools should be deployed thoughtfully. Video Analyzer is designed to strengthen your process while respecting candidates and maintaining trust.
We strongly recommend best practices such as:
- Transparency: Inform candidates if interview recordings may be analyzed for integrity signals
- Human review: Treat results as indicators—not final decisions
- Consistency: Apply the same approach across all candidates in a role
- Accessibility: Ensure your process supports accommodations and legitimate note usage
- Data governance: Retain recordings and results only as long as necessary
Remote hiring works best when it’s both efficient and ethical—and Feenyx is building Video Analyzer with that balance in mind.
What’s next: more integrity metrics coming soon
Reading Detection is the first step. Feenyx Video Analyzer is being built with a broader roadmap: more signals and metrics to help teams improve confidence, consistency, and review speed—while keeping the human decision-maker at the center.
If you have specific metrics you’d like to see next, we’d love to hear from you.
