How to cheat on Slack Huddle: My 2026 Update
Slack is a productivity tool that has recently begun to be used for interviews; it is more similar to Lark because it supports video interviews and screen sharing, making it suitable for online interviews( It is mainly used for behavioral interviews, similar to Zoom).
It lacks built-in anti-cheating features like those found in HackerRank. Companies rely on screen sharing, camera-on policies, and recording, with cheating detection primarily dependent on manual supervision. This gave me the opportunity to use an AI interview assistant during my interviews.
Based on two selection criteria—that it cannot be detected by interviewers or the interview platform, and that it can quickly provide high-quality answers—I ultimately chose a completely invisible AI interview assistant, Linkjob.ai. It provides real-time prompts, code suggestions, and even system design guidance, while also simulating the natural speaking pace and thought patterns of a human job seeker.
By the way, Linkjob not only bypasses manual detection on platforms like Slack but also evades the built-in anti-cheating systems on HackerRank and Codility. If you’d like to read my experiences on these two platforms, check out my guides: How to Cheat on HackerRank and How to Cheat on Codiility.
In this article, I’ll share my firsthand experience using AI assistance during a Slack Huddle interview—specifically, how I used Linkjob to successfully pass the interview without raising any suspicion.
How Slack Huddle Prevents Cheating
Slack Huddle officially positions its software primarily as a productivity tool and does not provide any guidance on how to detect cheating. The following is a summary based on my experience with cheating on other interview platforms and my interviews on Slack Huddle.
Lark interviews are mainly divided into the following categories:
Video interviews
Phone interviews
Technical interviews (rare)
If you want to cheat in an interview using the latest tech without getting caught, like with a qualified AI interview assistant, the method has to stay under the radar in these situations and be able to keep making real-time suggestions: webcam monitoring, screen sharing, and candidate authentication.
Sharing Screen
Today, screen sharing has become a common and virtually indispensable part of all types of online interviews. Whether you are participating in an assessment focused on behavioral performance or a discussion delving into technical details, interviewers will almost without exception require you to share your entire screen throughout the entire session. This practice is widely regarded as the most effective and direct anti-cheating strategy available today; it is essentially equivalent to performing the task directly in front of the interviewer, greatly enhancing transparency and real-time monitoring capabilities, and effectively preventing potential cheating.
Additionally, interviewers may utilize more advanced external monitoring tools to detect even the slightest signs of irregularity. However, Linkjob can completely bypass these measures.
Therefore, to ensure your interview proceeds smoothly and without misjudgment, here are several points to be vigilant about during screen sharing:
Frequent and repetitive clicking on a specific area of the screen: This may be identified by the system as unnatural behavior, suggesting you might be attempting to access hidden content or launch assistive tools.
Sharing only a single browser tab instead of the entire screen: When the interview explicitly requires full-screen sharing, this partial sharing mode will immediately trigger an alert, as it hides other potential active windows.
Displaying icons for non-current applications in the Dock (or taskbar): Icons for closed or running background programs—especially those unrelated to the interview—may be viewed as potential distractions or cheating tools.
The image above shows how Linkjob AI can help you tackle the vast majority of challenges you might face during an AI interview.
Simply launch the tool and let it run in the background. There’s no icon in the Dock, and you won’t see any trace of Linkjob AI in the Task Manager. Plus, with global hotkeys, I can perform most tasks using the keyboard instead of the mouse.
Candidate Authentication
The identity verification process is typically carried out in two main ways: one is very simple, while the other is very thorough.
To ensure authenticity, some interviewers choose to turn on their webcams for real-time monitoring, which is actually a fairly common practice. Other large companies, however, prefer to use third-party verification tools
Conduct photo-based identity verification before the test begins
Take real-time snapshots from the webcam throughout the interview to verify identity, and may even implement two-factor authentication steps to enhance security.
As long as you attend the interview in person and do not use a virtual background or cover your face with an avatar, there should generally be no issues.
Webcam Monitoring
In my experience, video monitoring serves two primary purposes: first, to facilitate effective communication by allowing participants to see each other’s reactions in real time; and second, to detect any potential cheating. Regardless of the monitoring method the interviewer uses, the core objective is to assess whether your facial expressions remain natural and whether there are any unusual reactions.
The following behaviors may be interpreted as signs of cheating:
Repeatedly looking down at the screen
Frequently turning your head or unconsciously shifting your body
Staring at a single point on the computer screen for an extended period without making eye contact
Attempting to block the camera or disrupt the video feed
Displaying signs of panic, guilt, or unusual nervousness.
I usually position the answer window directly below the camera so that I can browse the answers normally while avoiding obvious movements. When scrolling through the answers, I maintain a steady pace and recommend using keyboard shortcuts to minimize hand movements, which looks more natural. At the same time, I strategically pause at appropriate intervals so that my eye contact with the interviewer appears more natural and genuine, thereby reducing any sense of nervousness.
How to Cheat on Slack Huddle
In addition to Linkjob, I’ve tried a few other AI interview assistants. For more details, you can read this article: Top AI Tools for Cheating.
Linkjob features screen capture and automatic speech recognition capabilities, which are more than sufficient to handle any situation you might encounter in a Slack Huddle interview.
I found a video on the Linkjob official website showing how they use it in real time on Zoom. Since the two platforms are very similar and their anti-cheating mechanisms are alike, you can watch this video for reference.
Screen Capture (for text-based questions)
Linkjob’s screenshot feature is excellent; it allows you to upload up to 6 screenshots at once, making it a breeze to handle any programming problem (during my Slack Huddle interview, I only encountered one very simple programming problem, and the interviewer provided a shared document for me to write the code by hand).
Automatic Speech Recognition (for communicating with the interviewer)
Linkjob integrates real-time speech recognition technology, which automatically captures and analyzes questions posed verbally by the interviewer. This allows the AI to generate answers instantly, without requiring any manual input from me.
Additionally, it possesses contextual understanding, ensuring that questions are not treated in isolation. This is particularly useful when the interviewer asks follow-up questions, as the assistant provides coherent and relevant suggestions based on the entire conversation. Whether the interviewer delves into the details of my previous projects or challenges a specific point I’ve made, the AI adapts to the flow of the conversation and immediately provides comprehensive, well-reasoned reference answers.
Preparation Before Cheating on Slack Huddle
Before the formal interview:
Choose your preferred AI model and programming language.
Create a new prompt and tell the AI what you need.
Control the visibility of the Linkjob cursor in the settings.
Adjust the window transparency or collapse/expand the interface so it doesn’t block your view of the interview questions.
Familiarize yourself with Linkjob’s keyboard shortcuts.
Run a test to ensure everything works properly during the interview.
Note: Both Slack Huddle and Linkjob offer a wide range of keyboard shortcut options. Be sure to adjust and test these settings before your actual interview to avoid any unexpected issues during the interview.
FAQ
Can Linkjob be used for interviews on both the web and desktop versions of Slack Huddle?
As a desktop application, Linkjob can bypass detection by both web-based and software-based versions of Slack Huddle. Neither of these platforms has the ability to detect Linkjob, which is an advantage for desktop AI copilots during interviews.
Can I hide the Linkjob icon and name?
Hide the app from the task manager, remove the icon from view in the bottom taskbar (bottom pane of the computer screen) when the app is open.
Will the interviewer or the interview platform notice if I use keyboard shortcuts?
The use of hotkeys won't be detected, as long as you don't directly copy and paste the AI-generated answers during coding sessions.
Can Linkjob be used for other types of interviews?
Yes, absolutely. Linkjob supports various interview types, including general, coding, behavioral, case study, pair programming, HireVue, logical and cognitive ability tests, and more.
Do you have any tips on how to use Linkjob without raising suspicion?
On the technical side, Linkjob is completely undetectable, so your main focus should be on keeping your behavior natural. For instance, you can move the Linkjob window directly below your camera to maintain better eye contact. We also recommend using a silent mouse and keyboard to eliminate any clicking sounds while interacting with the app. Additionally, you can adjust the window transparency or collapse/expand the interface so it doesn't block your view of the interview questions.See Also
