Why Now
AI changed what an interview proves
Candidates now prepare, interview and complete assessments alongside AI. For the platforms running those sessions, the question has moved from whether this is happening to what they can actually prove about it.
Three things every assessment and interview platform is now being asked to answer
01
Prove who is there
Candidate identity, verification, impersonation and account sharing.
02
Name what is happening
AI assistance, unauthorised resources, suspicious behaviour and session integrity.
03
Leave a record that holds up
Evidence, auditability, review workflows and defensible outcomes.
Most Hiring Platforms Have No Security Layer
An ATS runs the interview. An assessment vendor scores it. Neither verifies who is on the other end, and few document the session well enough to defend a decision later.
When the candidate can no longer be assumed, verification stops being the employer's problem alone. It becomes a product requirement for every platform in the hiring stack.
The Global Interview Security Summit 2026 — Product Leader's Edition is where the product leaders who own that decision come together to confront it.
200–250 Platforms
Most have no identity verification layer and no in-session integrity check. The gap is the product opportunity.
Nobody's Roadmap
The buyer says the platform should own it. The platform says it is the employer's process. It sits on no product roadmap today.
Build, Buy, or Wait
Building means an identity stack, in-session detection, an evidence trail, and a threat model that moves with every new exploit. Most platforms are still at “wait.”
A Commercial Threat Market
Polished products now exist to sit interviews for candidates. The threat is no longer hypothetical. It is a category no platform can ignore.
What You'll Walk Away With
The Global Interview Security Summit 2026 — Product Leader's Edition brings together product managers, engineering leads, and heads of product from ATS, HCM, assessment, and AI interview platforms for 90 minutes of unfiltered peer conversation, live threat demonstrations, and a technical walkthrough you can take straight back to your roadmap.
You'll leave with:
A live look at the tools candidates are using to defeat remote interviews
Honest peer debate about who actually owns interview security and why no one has shipped it yet
A technical walkthrough of what adding a security layer means for your engineering team — integration options, branding decisions, and post-go-live ownership
What enterprise clients are now writing into hiring tech RFPs that they were not asking for two years ago
The Platform Integrity Commitment — a set of principles your platform can sign onto that moves interview security from a gap to a category standard
Not a vendor showcase. The product community setting the standard for trusted hiring infrastructure.
Agenda
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM ET
The Trust Layer for AI-Era Hiring
What every assessment platform needs to prove. Opening keynote, followed by audience Q&A.
11:30 AM - 12:00 PM ET
Security vs. Experience: The Product Leader’s Dilemma
Securing assessments and interviews without making the candidate experience harder or more fragmented.
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM ET
From Feature to Infrastructure: Is Trust the Next Platform Layer?
What trusted hiring looks like at enterprise scale, and which capabilities platforms should own versus integrate.
Built for the Teams That Own the Product Roadmap
AI Interview Platforms — Founders & Heads of Product
Their entire product is an unsupervised remote interview. Highest exposure, least built out, no legacy vendor loyalty in this space.
ATS & HCM Suites — VPs of Product, Group PMs, CPOs
Enterprise customers are demanding audit trails. The platform that adds a security layer first owns the category positioning.
Assessment Vendors — Heads of Product, PMs, Heads of Delivery
Closest adjacency — they already understand proctoring. The build-versus-partner question is sharpest here.

Every session from the three previous Global Interview Security Summit editions, in full.
Opening Keynote:Every Fact. Every Claim. Every Answer.
Speaker: Sanjoe Tom Jose (Talview)
Why hiring integrity in India is no longer a regional HR concern. It is a global enterprise risk. And the organizations getting ahead of it now will define the standard for everyone else.
Session 1:When the Hiring Decision Is Local but the Risk Is Global
Speakers: Diwakar A (Dassault Systèmes), Ahmad Maredia (Workday), Jayas Damodaran (Talview)
Your India TA team owns the hire. Your global parent owns the risk. The accountability gap between them is where Gen AI cheating finds its best opportunity. A frank conversation about what that gap looks like and how leading GCCs are closing it.
Session 2:Zero Tolerance, Zero Playbook: How BFSI Is Navigating Hiring Integrity Right Now
Speakers: Samaksh G, Shabeer Ahemed Sathar (KVB Bank), Ritu Arora (Canara HSBC Life Insurance), Sunu Philip (Talview)
Regulated institutions. RBI and SEBI compliance expectations. KYC discipline that should extend to hiring but often doesn't. A peer panel with no frameworks and no vendor talk, just honest conversation between BFSI TA and compliance leaders about what they are actually building.
Session 3:Inside the Gen AI Fraud Playbook Targeting Tech Roles
Proxy developers. AI-coached technical interviews. Day-one access provisioning. What a fraudulent IT hire with legitimate credentials can actually do once inside and the minimum standard every India tech hiring operation should meet before their next hiring drive.
Closing:The India Hiring Integrity Pledge
Speaker: Sanjoe Tom Jose (Talview)
Leave with more than insights. Leave with a personal commitment to clean, verified, trustworthy hiring at scale in India.
Why hiring integrity is no longer an HR problem — it's a business risk that starts at the top.
Session 1:The IT Fraud Landscape: What's Actually Happening in 2026
Ghost engineers. Identity fraud. AI-generated candidates. A clear-eyed look at how bad it's gotten — and why traditional screening is no longer enough.
Session 2:What Talent Leaders Are Actually Seeing: Unfiltered
Straight talk from the people in the trenches — the patterns, red flags, and hard lessons IT hiring leaders aren't talking about publicly. Until now.
Session 3:From Awareness to Action: How Leaders Are Building the Answer
The frameworks, tools, and cultural shifts that forward-thinking organizations are using to build fraud-resistant hiring from day one.
Closing:The IT Hiring Integrity Pledge
Leave with more than insights — leave with a personal commitment to clean, verified, trustworthy hiring.
