I work for a full remote company that pays great, like 200K+ cash comp. Recently the number of people that try to use int\*rviewc\*der or other tools to pass has risen. Thing is, these tools **don't even work anymore.** 1.I ask candidate to share entire desktop on zoom. 2. I ask them to go to zoom settings -> screen share -> advanced. 3. In screen capture mode, I ask them to select **Advanced Capture Without Window Filtering** And then the cheating UI would suddenly pop up for some candidates. I thank them for their time but tell them our company policy on cheating, and drop off the call. Worst part? Our question isn't even a leetcode hard, we don't expect perfection and you can pass even without solving everything. We care more about communication than writing perfect code. So just a tip to candidates out there, this is how you can easily get caught. Don't cheat.
