Supervised venues for employers and assessors

Hire the real candidate.

Keep AI copilots out of your remote interviews and exams. Candidates join from a private, supervised pod with no phones or second screens and every candidate is ID-checked. Your online assessment process stays the same.

Why it matters

AI has made remote interviews hard to trust. SmartVue makes them fair again.

AI tools can feed a candidate answers in seconds, without showing up on screen share. Instead of trying to spot AI use after the fact, SmartVue gives every candidate the same fair conditions from the start.

Without SmartVue With SmartVue

AI copilots

Hidden overlays, phones and second screens feed candidates live answers.

Phones stay in lockers, and the pod computer runs only your interview platform.

Proxy candidates

Someone else sits the interview, or feeds answers from off-camera.

Staff check government ID on arrival and supervise the whole session.

Uneven conditions

Noise, weak internet and cramped setups make candidates hard to compare.

Every candidate uses the same soundproofed pod, equipment and wired connection.

Costly hiring mistakes

Hiring on interview results you can't trust leads to expensive mistakes.

A written integrity report for every session, so you can hire with confidence.

The SmartVue solution

A controlled room that AI can't get into.

Software can't reliably tell when a candidate is using AI. We focus on the room instead. Nothing changes on your end. We supervise each session to make sure every answer comes from the candidate.

  • Identity verification

    On-site staff check government ID against your candidate record before the session starts.

  • A level playing field

    Locked-down pod computers run only your interview platform. No browser extensions, overlays, phones or smart glasses, with supervision for the whole session.

  • Standardised hardware

    The same soundproofed pod, monitor, camera, headset and wired connection for every candidate.

  • Integrity report

    A written record for each session covering check-in time, ID status and any incidents, ready for your applicant tracking system.

  • Platform agnostic

    Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, HackerRank, CoderPad or your own assessment tools.

  • Secured environment

    Phones, smartwatches, earbuds and notes go into lockers. Each pod is checked before every session and supervised throughout.

Process

From booking to decision in four steps.

  1. 01

    Purchase credits

    Choose a package. Credits are pooled across your organisation and drawn down per session.

  2. 02

    Invite candidates

    Send a booking link from your ATS or inbox. Candidates choose a venue and time slot.

  3. 03

    Supervised check-in

    Staff verify ID, secure personal devices and seat the candidate in a prepared pod.

  4. 04

    Interview & report

    Your panel interviews as usual. The integrity report arrives when the session closes.

Partner venues

Interview pods run by trusted local partners.

Every partner venue follows the SmartVue check-in, device and supervision standard, so a session in one city is identical to a session in any other.

Who we work with

Built for teams where the hire has to be right.

Technology

Live coding and system-design rounds you can trust, with no hidden AI assistants or second screens.

Financial services

Verified identity and a written record of the session to support compliance.

Graduate programs

Assess large graduate cohorts fairly, with every candidate under the same conditions.

Recruitment agencies

Deliver verified, supervised shortlists your clients can rely on.

Real answers from real candidates.

Every candidate gets the same quiet, professional space to do their best work, and you get results you can compare fairly.

Common questions

How does SmartVue keep assessments fair?

Candidates can't bring any device into the pod. The pod computer is locked down to your interview or assessment platform, with no other apps, extensions or screen overlays, and staff supervise every session. There's nowhere for an AI tool to run.

What happens if a candidate doesn't attend?

If a candidate misses their booking, the credit is returned to your account once per candidate so you can rebook at no extra cost.

Do you record interviews?

Yes, but we only keep recordings for 24 hours. Each session is recorded so we can verify it if a question comes up, then the recording is deleted. We also log check-in, ID verification and any incidents, and share these with you in the integrity report.

Can candidates use their own laptop?

No. Standard hardware is what keeps sessions fair and secure. If your assessment needs specific software, we'll install it before the session.

How long is a session?

Each credit covers one interview, assessment or exam of up to 60 minutes. If you need longer, add an extra hour for $20 when you book.

How is billing handled?

Starter and Growth are paid up front by card or invoice. Enterprise accounts can be billed monthly against a purchase order.

Where are your venues?

Our first partner venue is 1Smart.Space in Docklands, Melbourne. Tell us where else you hire and we'll confirm availability. Enterprise customers can request dedicated or reserved locations.
