People actually tried Glider AI's assessments four or five years ago. At the time, there weren't many platforms offering AI-based assessments, so it got pretty much slammed by the critics. I recently took a Glider AI test myself and, with its AI proctoring enabled, managed to pass easily using Linkjob AI, a real-time AI interview assistant.
I've also used AI interview tools to help me cheat on HackerRank assessments, and I found some cheating tools that can bypass detection in Google Meet. If the online assessment you're taking is hosted on another OA platform, you might also be interested in my Codersignal cheating guide.

Before taking the glider test, I had a look on the official website to see what the anti-cheating methods were like, just so I'd have an idea of what to expect in the interview. Sadly, Glider AI doesn't really explain how it stops cheating, except in a couple of blog posts. But I found some useful info in the user guide.
Glider AI's anti-cheating methods can be put into five categories: checking who you say you are, monitoring audio and video, setting restrictions on screens and browsers, checking devices, and using AI to spot behaviours and prove you're real.


The ID verification process usually has three steps. Interviewers usually set these settings in advance via the config menu, but some companies skip this step and go straight to the interview. For my test, these were the steps I took:
Candidate Photo Capture: Before we begin, the platform will take a baseline photo of me to act as a reference for the whole assessment.
Facial comparison: AI compares my current facial features with historical records and the baseline photo to make sure that nobody is trying to impersonate someone else or using a proxy.
Identification verification: You'll need to upload a government ID or enter your ID information to prove who you are.

When I was testing, I was told about at least three ways it can detect things:
Webcam access: Keep on recording the candidate's video feed during the interview to make sure they aren't being helped.
Facial and eye tracking: Keep an eye on the candidate's head movements and where they're looking to see if they're checking their notes or chatting with someone.
Audio Monitoring: It'll also monitor background noise in real time to spot when people are whispering to each other or just talking, which could provide clues or answers.
Apparently, Glider AI can also do multi-face detection, which means that if there's more than one person in the frame, the AI will automatically let the interviewer know. I haven't personally come across this feature yet, though.

The interviewer didn't explain all the settings, but I had to enable full-screen sharing, and I'm pretty sure copy-paste detection and active tab detection were enabled too. Even though the Glider AI settings page didn't mention it, there was an option called "Tab Switching Restriction". (I didn't switch tabs, so I'm not sure if this setting is used for all Glider AI-based interviews.)
I found this info in the setup docs:
Screen Sharing and Recording: Candidates have to share their desktop so we can record everything that happens on the screen.
Full-Screen Mode Enforcement: Monitors whether the candidate keeps the assessment interface in full-screen mode at all times.
Dual-screen detection: It stops you using a second monitor.
Browser activity tracking: It also records the browsing history while the test is being taken and keeps an eye on copy-and-paste operations.
Tab switching restriction: This is to stop candidates from leaving the assessment tab too many times. If you exceed the limit, you'll be disqualified from taking the test.
This monitoring feature is pretty unique. As far as I know, not many platforms have introduced multi-device monitoring. Most just rely on camera monitoring to reduce the chances of candidates cheating using mobiles. But Glider AI's multi-device monitoring feature is specially designed to deal with the risk of candidates using their smartphones while their computers are under surveillance.
This feature uses technical measures like locking the candidate's phone or integrating it into the monitoring environment to make sure it can't be used for cheating.

This category is for everything with a clear label saying it uses AI technology. Basically, these features analyse whether candidates are using third-party software or scripts, as well as detect code plagiarism and analyse typing behaviour patterns. It's not exactly revolutionary, but it's still using AI technology.
So, even with a completely invisible AI interview assistant like Linkjob AI, I still needed to use some tricks to get past these checks.
These settings include:
Candidate Authenticity Verification: It lets recruiters see what a candidate is doing on their device to find out if they've got any unauthorised software or scripts.
Plagiarism detection: This feature is specially designed for technical assessments. It compares code against global code repositories and historical data to find highly similar code.
Behavioural Fingerprinting: It looks at typing patterns, clickstream data (click sequences) and logical flow to see if the behaviour matches typical human interaction patterns.

As I said before, I was asked to share my full screen, so I needed an AI that wouldn't be in the Dock, could be got at in real time, and would stay out of sight to help me finish the online assessment. I went for ChatGPT 5.1 as the model and used Linkjob AI to make the model completely invisible.
Linkjob AI is an AI interview assistant that you can use on its own. You won't need to switch tabs or activate browser extensions. Just open the app, tap "Live Interview", and it'll listen to the interviewer's questions, generate a transcript, and provide the answers along with potential follow-up questions.
For easier questions based on my CV, I used the customisation feature in advance to change the usual instructions, asking the AI to highlight particular words and info from my CV and give me useful details. Linkjob AI lets you upload screenshots and resume files, so I uploaded my resume beforehand and tweaked it bit by bit until it could effortlessly answer most of the resume-based questions.
When it came to analysing people's behaviour using AI, I put the Linkjob AI response window right under the camera, made sure I was keeping up with the interviewer's gaze most of the time, and used various keyboard shortcuts to avoid unnatural mouse clicks.

I use Linkjob AI's auto code generation when I need fast solutions for glider tests. The tool created code snippets for almost any programming language. I just entered the problem statement, took a screenshot through global hotkey, and the generator spit out working code. This method saves time and helps me avoid mistakes.
Here’s a step-by-step process for using ChatGPT to solve coding problems in normal scenarios:
Copy the coding question from the glider test.
Paste the question into the generator.
Review the generated code for errors or suspicious patterns.
Edit the code to match my style and avoid detection.
Submit the code in the test.
But, as I said before, Glider can actually be set up to block copy-and-paste and keep an eye on keystrokes, so this approach would be immediately exposed. I prefer to use Linkjob AI's screenshot analysis to get the answers I need and then use its automatic listening feature for the interviewer's follow-up questions.
Here is the process involving Linkjob AI:
Take a screenshot through hotkeys
The AI analyses the problem and gives its answers
Type the code manually to prevent copy & paste checks
The quality of Linkjob AI's answers depends a lot on how good you are with the tool. If you're not yet familiar with its various features, the answers can be a bit vague and ambiguous, requiring follow-up prompts to explain the code logic and incorporate your personal style. I get that some people might find all this a bit of a pain, but the way around it is to run through the interviews beforehand in practice and come up with questions that work for each person.
Manipulating remote test environments is another way I see candidates cheat on glider tests. They use virtual machines (VMs) to create isolated spaces where they can run different operating systems. This lets them bypass some restrictions in remote assessments. Sometimes, remote desktop tools would be used to get help from friends or access resources that aren’t allowed during the test.
Here’s a table showing the most popular methods for manipulating remote test environments:
Method | Description |
|---|---|
Virtual Machines (VMs) | Used to create isolated environments that can run different operating systems, allowing users to bypass restrictions of the test environment. |
OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) | A tool for video recording and live streaming that can be manipulated to share screens or provide external assistance during tests. |
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) | Enables remote access to another computer, allowing users to receive help or use resources not available in the test environment. |
Warning: Glider can detect some remote access tools. If you use VMs or RDP, make sure you know how to hide your activity.
Lots of people have made mistakes by cheating during the Glider test. I've learned that coming across as too confident can actually raise red flags. If I don't know the answer, I'll just come straight out and say it or show that I'm not sure, even though Linkjob AI is quietly generating answers on my screen.
I've been known to try and hide when I don't know something, but the system sometimes catches on. So I don't pretend to know everything any more, especially when I'm faced with unfamiliar questions.
Here are common mistakes I see:
Not admitting uncertainty or mistakes
Smoothing over gaps in knowledge
Acting confident about unfamiliar questions
When I take the glider test, I follow best practices to make sure I don't get flagged. I've got used to using Linkjob AI's mock interview feature to practise in advance and get to grips with various keyboard shortcuts. When I'm in the zone during live interviews, I like to mix it up a bit, throwing in my own thoughts with the answers the AI gives me. This way, I make sure I don't come across as too polished or too scripted.
But when I was taking Glider AI's online tests, I was really thankful to have Linkjob AI helping me with the coding because Glider AI doesn't allow you to refer to any documentation - you have to do all the coding by hand. I had to type the code myself, but with Linkjob AI's help, I passed the Glider AI test without being detected using any tools.
I read about a candidate who cheated and later caused a security breach. The FBI got involved, and the company had to notify customers and audit their security.
I always check for webcam or microphone prompts before starting. If Glider asks for access, proctoring is active. I keep my workspace clean.
I tried to use ChatGPT in a separate window, but it was risky, so I turned to Linkjob AI to use GPT while staying undetectable during Glider AI assessments.
Yes. There is "Speech Sensitivity Custom" within the Real-time AI Interview Assistant feature, where you can adjust the silence duration.
