# Risk Signals & Bad Actor Detection in AI Interviews
> How Hello Recruiter detects unauthorized AI usage, impersonation, and fraud during AI interviews to protect your hiring process.
Hello Recruiter's Bad Actor Detection system protects the integrity of your hiring process by automatically flagging suspicious activity.
## Types of Risk Signals
Detects when candidates use AI tools (like ChatGPT) to generate their responses during the interview.
Identifies potential cases where someone other than the applicant is taking the interview.
Flags applications with suspicious patterns, inconsistent information, or known fraudulent indicators.
Detects unusual interview environments — multiple voices, screen sharing to another person, or reading from hidden notes.
## How Risk Signals Appear
When a candidate is flagged, you'll see:
* A **warning badge** on their profile in the candidate list
* A detailed **Risk Summary** tab in their scorecard
* Specific **evidence** explaining what triggered the flag
## What to Do with Flagged Candidates
Risk signals are informational — they don't automatically reject candidates. You decide what action to take:
* **Review the evidence** to understand the severity
* **Compare with the candidate's overall performance** — minor flags with strong scores may warrant a follow-up interview
* **Reject if the evidence is clear** — blatant fraud or impersonation should disqualify candidates
Risk signals are AI-generated assessments, not definitive proof. Always review the evidence and use your judgment before making decisions.
