Why Recruiting Teams Are Switching to Candit Right Now
Not one feature — a combination. Real-time notes, real-time fraud detection, and zero-friction proctoring in a single tool is why Candit went from launch to 20,000+ recruiters in a few months.
Most tools get adopted for one reason. Candit has been adopted by more than 20,000 recruiters in the few months since launch for a combination of four, and it's the combination — not any single piece of it — that actually explains the speed.
It writes the notes while the call is still happening
This part alone isn't new — a handful of AI notetakers now produce live notes instead of a post-call transcript dump. What's different is that Candit builds those notes specifically around a hiring conversation: structured enough to scan quickly, editable in real time, and ready to fold in anything the recruiter types themselves without breaking the flow.
At the same time, it's watching for AI assistance — live
This is the piece nothing else on the market has. While the notes are being written, Candit is separately reading the transcript for the tells of a recited, AI-generated answer — a sudden shift to unnaturally polished phrasing, a missing filler word where a live thinking pause should be — and checking it against reverse-engineered builds of the actual stealth copilots candidates use. When it crosses the threshold, it flags it, per speaker, with the exact line that triggered it, while the interview is still running. It also suggests a follow-up to ask right then (Counter AI), and the AI use report after the call shows where and how AI help showed.
It needs zero setup to do either
Nothing above requires the candidate to install anything, join through a locked-down browser, or use a special testing portal. Candit joins the meeting like any other participant, on whatever video call tool is already in use, and both the notes and the detection run for the whole call without a single extra step from anyone on it. That's the part recruiters notice fastest — every other proctoring tool they've tried added friction; this one adds none.
Compared to running three separate tools
Most teams evaluating this today are currently running some combination of: a general meeting notetaker, a separate scoring or evaluation process (usually a spreadsheet), and — if they've been burned by a stealth-copilot hire — a proctoring tool that forces candidates into a restricted environment. Three tools, three logins, three things that can be out of sync with each other, and the proctoring one actively working against candidate experience.
| Separate tools | Candit | |
|---|---|---|
| Notes | General meeting notetaker | Built in, live, recruiting-specific |
| Scoring | Manual, after the call | /score command, inline, evidence-backed |
| Fraud detection | Not covered, or a separate lockdown tool | Built in, real-time, zero setup |
| Candidate friction | High (if proctoring is in use) | None |
Why the timing is what it is
AI-assisted interviewing went from a rare edge case to something roughly 1 in 3 interviews now includes some form of, fast enough that most hiring processes haven't caught up. A bad hire that slips through still costs an agency an estimated £180K on average. Recruiting teams aren't adopting Candit because one feature is clever — they're adopting it because the specific combination of real-time notes, real-time detection, and zero friction is the first version of this that doesn't ask them to trade candidate experience for protection against it.
