Assessment Integrity

Zero-Tolerance Anti-Cheating, Not Invasive Surveillance

Every timed assessment on Veer is protected by a real, server-enforced anti-cheat system. It's strict — but it's built on browser focus detection, not webcam monitoring, gaze tracking, or facial analysis.

What Triggers a Violation

Switching browser tabs or windows, or opening another application, during Stage 2 (MCQ/coding) or Stage 3 (video interview).

Instant Termination

No warnings, no strikes. A single confirmed focus-loss event ends the session immediately and marks the application rejected.

7-Day Ban, Server-Enforced

A confirmed violation bans the candidate from any assessment stage for 14 days — checked server-side before any question is ever served.

No Webcam Surveillance

No gaze tracking, no facial analysis, no AI-vision cheat detection. Detection is purely browser focus/visibility events.

Cheating vs. Honest Failure

Two very different outcomes

Situation Consequence
Confirmed violation (tab switch, app switch) Rejected + 14-day ban
Honest fail, below 80% pass bar (Stage 2/3) 5-day retry cooldown

Stage 1's MCQ quiz has no 80% pass bar — completing and submitting the full attempt is the only requirement to advance there.

What Actually Happens

Step by step, on a violation

  1. 1Candidate switches tabs, opens another app, or the browser window loses focus during a timed stage.
  2. 2A blur/visibilitychange event fires and the session terminates immediately.
  3. 3The candidate sees an on-screen rejection message, and their application is marked rejected.
  4. 4A 14-day ban is set server-side, checked before any future question is served on any stage.
🚫 Coding Test Terminated & Application Rejected — Our anti-cheating system detected a window focus loss event (switching tabs or opening another application). Per our strict security rules, your assessment has been terminated and your CV has been MARKED AS REJECTED.
Why It Matters

Protecting every candidate's Scorecard

Strict enforcement protects the integrity of every candidate's verified Scorecard, so employers can trust the results without needing to re-test candidates themselves. It's also why the mechanism stays limited to browser focus detection rather than webcam-based monitoring — the system is strict about integrity without being invasive about surveillance.

Take an assessment you can trust

A fair, focus-protected pipeline for candidates — and a verified Scorecard employers can rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What triggers a cheating violation on Veer?

Switching browser tabs or windows, or opening another application, during a timed assessment stage (Stage 2 MCQ/coding, or Stage 3 video interview) fires a focus-loss event that immediately terminates the session. There are no warnings and no multi-strike allowance — it's zero tolerance.

Does Veer use webcam monitoring or facial analysis to detect cheating?

No. Veer does not use gaze tracking, facial analysis, webcam proctoring, or AI-vision cheat detection. Violation detection is based purely on browser focus and visibility events, not camera-based surveillance.

What happens if a violation is confirmed?

The assessment session is terminated immediately, the application is marked as rejected, and the candidate is banned from re-attempting any assessment stage on Veer for 14 days. This is enforced server-side, checked before any question is served.

What happens if I just fail an assessment honestly, without cheating?

Scoring below the 80% pass threshold on Stage 2 or Stage 3, with no violation, only triggers a much lighter 5-day retry cooldown before a fresh attempt is allowed — not a ban, and no rejection flag.

Does Stage 1 have the same 80% pass bar?

No. Stage 1 is a straightforward MCQ quiz with no 80% pass bar — completing and submitting the full attempt is the only requirement to advance. The 80% threshold and cooldown apply only to Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Why does Veer enforce this so strictly?

The strict enforcement protects the integrity of every candidate's verified Scorecard, so employers can trust assessment results without needing to re-test candidates themselves.
