The Problem

You're Competing for the Same Talent as
Companies 100× Your Size.

Top candidates have multiple offers and accept the fastest one. 14+ day screening loops mean the best people are gone before you even reach technical interviews.

14+ days
Screening loops before a technical interview

By the time you reach a top candidate, they already have three other offers on the table.

100×
Larger talent brand than you

FAANG and funded Series-C companies dominate candidate attention. Speed is the only equalizer you have.

6–12 mo
Runway lost per bad hire

For a startup, one mis-hire at the wrong time is not just costly — it can be existential.

Manual
Screening is your bottleneck

Founders and leads doing phone screens instead of shipping. Every hour screening is an hour not building.

Quality & Fraud Protection

Stop Hiring Candidates Who Look Great on Paper but Fall Apart on Day One.

Mockwin's 360° fraud detection catches proxy interviews, teleprompter use, and AI assistance in real time. Structured role-specific assessments replace gut feel. Mis-hire rates drop 70–90%.

Proxy Interview Detection

Behavioral biometrics and session analysis catch when someone other than the candidate is answering questions.

AI-Assistance Detection

Real-time signals identify when candidates are using ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar tools to generate answers during assessment.

Identity Verification

Multi-factor identity checks ensure the person who shows up on Day 1 is the same person who aced your interview.

Structured Role Assessments

Role-specific rubrics replace gut-feel questions. Every candidate is measured on the same criteria, eliminating interviewer bias.
