From the Desk of Brad Smart: HireVue vs. Topgrading to Limit Cheating: Topgrading Wins

The attached (click here), rather long article by HireVue goes into great depth on how ChatGPT is used by cheaters … and how HireVue interview questions can identify and lessen cheating. One point made is that by having a series of questions that probe the details of candidate successes can help you spot BS. But a series of long, probing interviews is very time consuming, so it is costly.
Topgrading has a better way. The blunt truth is that AI and ChatGPT do NOT have any way to motivate or determine candidate honesty. Nor does HireVue. Topgrading is the only hiring method we know of that enables you, the interviewer, to hear honest answers to your questions.
If you’ve been “burned” by candidates fooling you with hyped responses and hiding failures and mistakes, give us a call. You’ll instantly feel relief when you’re confident candidates are not gaming the process.
