HackerEarth has launched OnScreen, an AI interview tool for technical hiring, now available to enterprise customers.
The tool conducts structured technical interviews at any time using lifelike avatars, with identity verification and proctoring built into the process. It is designed to reduce delays when interviewers are unavailable because of time zones, workloads or weekends.
Technical hiring teams are under growing pressure as application volumes rise and employers try to filter out weak or misleading applications earlier in the process. OnScreen is intended to address that by letting candidates complete an interview without waiting for a human interviewer to become available.
The system sits within HackerEarth's broader hiring platform alongside Hiring Challenges, Technical Assessments and FaceCode. It is designed to increase interview capacity without adding hiring staff and to provide structured evaluation data for later stages of recruitment.
One enterprise customer used the tool to screen more than 2,000 candidates over a single weekend. The process also applies the same interview framework to every candidate to make assessments more consistent.
The launch centres on three elements. The first is structured interviewing, which adapts questions to a candidate's responses while following a fixed framework. The second is integrated proctoring to monitor irregularities during interviews. The third is identity verification to confirm that the person being assessed is the same person who applied for the role.
Those checks reflect wider employer concern about proxy interviewing and the use of AI-generated application materials. Recruiters are also under pressure to move faster when sought-after developers enter the market and may be weighing competing offers.
"Recruiters are under pressure more than ever. The volume of applicants has surged, AI-generated resumes have made initial screening harder, and the risk of missing the right candidate keeps climbing," said Vikas Aditya, chief executive officer of HackerEarth. "OnScreen was built so that no qualified candidate is overlooked because nobody was available to interview them."
The launch also includes an endorsement from a HackerEarth customer, which described changes in screening and hiring speed after adopting the tool.
Pawan Kuldip, head of human resources at Discover Dollar Inc, said, "Before OnScreen, we had no reliable way to measure candidate quality, especially with the rise of AI-generated CVs. Now, screening is far more objective, and we can clearly identify and eliminate irrelevant profiles with valid reasons.
"We have seen a significant improvement in the quality of our shortlists while also reducing the time to hire. Roles that previously took much longer are now being closed within three to four weeks. It has also helped us identify genuinely interested candidates, since only serious applicants complete the process."
HackerEarth operates in a market where employers increasingly want to automate early-stage technical assessments while keeping interview processes comparable across large candidate pools. Its platform is used for technical hiring by major technology groups including Google, Amazon and Microsoft, as well as hundreds of other large organisations.
The broader platform also draws on a developer community of more than 10 million people and more than 150 million assessments across over 1,000 skills and 40 programming languages. That scale forms part of the backdrop to the new product, which extends the company's focus on automated screening and structured evaluations in engineering recruitment.
OnScreen enters a hiring environment in which employers want faster screening without losing oversight of quality or process integrity. By combining interview automation with verification and monitoring, HackerEarth is pitching the product to companies that need to process large volumes of technical applicants while trying to avoid inconsistency and fraud in the early stages of recruitment.
