Vervoe has a number of anti-cheating features in place, and our new Plagiarism Detector feature has now arrived! Candidates will now be flagged whenever their text answers match another candidate's answer. Stay tuned as we dive deep into how this will work on your dashboard.
How does the Plagiarism Detector work?
The Plagiarism Detector compares the first 500 words of all candidate answers, to the same question, across the platform (which applies only to the text question/answer type). If the same answer is submitted from multiple candidates, the candidates with this answer will then be flagged. This can be detected across all languages submitted.
Please note, if the candidate reapplies (assessment is reset on the backend) or if their assessment deadline is extended, the plagiarism flags will be reset and removed.
If you expect candidates to have one standard answer, and prefer not to mark this as plagiarism, you can toggle off this setting within the Question Settings on the question creation page. By default, this setting is turned OFF.
