HackerEarth Launches OnScreen, Always-On AI Interview Tool
New AI-powered interview tool eliminates scheduling friction with lifelike AI avatars, always-on availability, and KYC-grade candidate verification
HackerEarth, the skills evaluation platform powering technical hiring at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and 500+ global enterprises, today launched HackerEarth OnScreen, an AI-powered interview tool that conducts rigorous, structured technical interviews around the clock using lifelike avatars with built-in identity verification and proctoring.
Technical hiring depends on interviewers who are bound by time zones, deadlines, and weekends. When a strong developer applies on a Thursday evening or is weighing a competing offer over the weekend, most companies can’t respond fast enough. The result is losing a top candidate to scheduling friction, not to better competitors.

OnScreen eliminates that gap. A candidate who applies at 11 PM on a Sunday gets a full technical interview before Monday morning. Powered by lifelike AI avatars, the experience is built around genuine two-way conversation, not a chatbot filling out a scorecard.
One enterprise customer used OnScreen to screen more than 2,000 candidates in a single weekend with complete consistency and zero interviewer bias.
“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, CEO of HackerEarth. “OnScreen was built so that no qualified candidate is overlooked because nobody was available to interview them.
The product combines three capabilities that no single product has offered before:
- In-Depth Interviewing. OnScreen conducts dynamic, role-calibrated technical conversations that probe depth of knowledge, adapt to candidate responses, and evaluate reasoning, not just recall. Every interview follows a deterministic framework, ensuring consistent and comparable evaluations across all candidates.
- Integrated Proctoring. Enterprise-grade proctoring is built directly into the interview flow, enabling teams to monitor for irregularities and maintain process integrity without adding friction for legitimate candidates.
- KYC Candidate Verification. OnScreen introduces KYC-grade identity verification to technical interviewing, confirming that the person being evaluated is who they claim to be, protecting hiring teams from proxy candidates and misrepresentation before an offer is extended.
“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,” said Pawan Kuldip, Head of Human Resources, Discover Dollar Inc.

OnScreen integrates directly into HackerEarth’s existing platform alongside Hiring Challenges, Technical Assessments, and FaceCode. It extends interviewing capacity without adding headcount and delivers structured evaluation data that accelerates downstream hiring decisions.
For engineers, it means fewer hours on screening interviews. For recruiters, pipeline move faster. For candidates, the experience is consistent and skills-first, regardless of when they apply.
