Bringing Transparency to AI-Era Hiring
AI is transforming how people prepare for—and perform in—interviews. Tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Google Bard have made it easier than ever for candidates to generate polished responses and problem-solve on the fly. While these tools can be helpful in the real world, they also create a new dilemma for hiring teams: how do you know what’s truly coming from the candidate?
At Feenyx, our mission is to give hiring teams clarity, not just control. That’s why we’re introducing a new set of features
The New Hiring Reality: AI in Every Interview
Whether you're hiring engineers, marketers, product managers, or sales reps—AI is now part of the interview. Candidates can use generative tools to draft code, generate business strategies, even simulate behavioral answers. In some cases, they're just being resourceful. In others, they're crossing the line into full-blown answer outsourcing.
And unless you’re watching their screen like a hawk, you may never know.
Feenyx gives you visibility into the browser activity of candidates during interviews and assessments. It’s discreet, privacy-conscious, and designed to promote open, honest evaluation—not gotcha surveillance.
What Tab Tracking Actually Does
Feenyx Browser Tracking provides hiring managers with a real-time and retroactive view of the tabs candidates opened during interviews. This helps uncover:
- What tools they used (e.g., ChatGPT, Stack Overflow, Notion, etc.)
- When and how often they switched tabs
- Whether they accessed reference materials that may have impacted their answers
Let’s be clear—this doesn’t block candidates from using resources. It simply allows hiring teams to understand those resources factored into a candidate’s performance.
Why It Matters: A Real-World Example
One of our customers recently ran interviews for a senior sales strategist. On paper, one candidate crushed it. Their responses were articulate, their strategy was sharp, and they even quoted some niche frameworks in their answers.
But something felt… off.
After reviewing the browser history via Feenyx, the hiring team noticed a pattern: each time a new question was asked, the candidate paused—and opened ChatGPT in a new tab. The answers matched the queries almost word-for-word. What looked like strategic thinking turned out to be AI prompt-engineering.
This insight helped the team make a more informed decision—not just about that candidate, but about how to evaluate future ones.
Promotes Transparency, Not Paranoia
Some platforms treat AI detection like a black box. Feenyx does it differently. Our system shows you what’s happening behind the scenes, and lets your team decide what matters. This fosters honest, open conversations with candidates, such as:
- “We noticed you referenced several tools during the interview—can you walk us through how you approached each problem?”
- You used external sources—how would you replicate that process on the job?”
It’s not just about catching fraud. It’s about surfacing patterns, habits, and decision-making styles.
Designed for Fairness—Even Beyond Technical Roles
In the past, monitoring was mostly used in coding interviews. But Feenyx is built for every role—from technical to customer-facing.
Here’s how browser tab tracking adds value across the board:
- Detects if a candidate is referencing pre-written objection handling scripts or real-time AI coaching tools
- Reveals how candidates access knowledge bases or support playbooks mid-interview
- Flags if answers are being generated by AI content tools vs. original thought
- Highlights whether frameworks or tools are being used correctly vs. Googled on the fly
Control + Context = Better Hiring Decisions
Tab Tracking isn’t about punishing candidates. It’s about giving teams the context they need to make confident calls. It works especially well alongside Feenyx’s other tools, such as:
- AI-powered answer scoring
- Real-time transcription and summaries
- Live Co-Pilot question suggestions
Together, these features make Feenyx your always-on hiring co-pilot.
What Candidates Think
Interestingly, candidates aren’t turned off by this feature—many actually prefer it. Here’s what we’ve heard:
“I like that I can use tools, but the company still knows how I think. It’s more fair than just banning everything.”
– Customer support candidate, Feenyx interview
“Leetcode doesn’t reflect what I actually do at work. But Feenyx let me show how I research and problem-solve realistically.”
– Engineering candidate, Feenyx assessment
Final Thoughts
The future of hiring isn’t AI-free—it’s AI-aware. Feenyx gives hiring teams visibility, context, and confidence in every decision
It’s time to make interviews more human—not less.
