● Built for the AI-cheating era

Coding interviews you can actually trust.

Run live coding interviews that record themselves. Meritan flags the AI shortcuts as they happen: pasted answers, a quiet tab-switch to a chatbot, code that lands faster than a person types. You see how the candidate worked, then decide from what you saw.

Know exactly who you're hiring. The real person behind the code, on the record.

The problem

AI quietly broke the coding interview.

Anyone can paste a flawless answer from a chatbot in seconds. The take-home tells you almost nothing now, the live call turns into a guessing game, and one wrong hire costs a quarter of a salary to unwind.

Skill looks like autocomplete

A clean solution no longer proves a strong engineer. It might just prove a good prompt. You are left guessing what they can really do.

Bad hires drain the team

One mis-hire on a small team burns months of salary, ramp time and morale before anyone is willing to admit it went wrong.

Strong candidates drop out

Installs, logins and clunky tools push good people to quit the process before they have written a single line.

● The AI fight

Tell a real engineer from a good prompt.

AI can make a shaky candidate look brilliant for forty-five minutes: pasted answers, a chatbot open on a second screen, code typed out that they couldn't explain. Meritan watches how the solution gets built, so it's easy to tell who can do the work from who can't.

The fix

See how the work got done.

Every session records itself and gets checked for the signals that matter, so your call comes from what happened on screen, not a hunch.

01

Recorded and replayable

Watch the whole session back, keystroke by keystroke. Jump to any moment and see how the code really came together, not just the final answer.

02

Integrity signals built in

Paste is blocked and logged. Focus loss, sudden large inserts and ghost-typing get flagged right on the timeline. You get evidence, not a vague trust score.

03

Zero setup for candidates

One link opens the room in their browser. No install, no account, no friction. They are coding within seconds of clicking.

● See it work

Watch the whole interview back.

Every interview becomes a replay you can scrub, with the integrity signals laid right on the timeline.

Replay and integrity

Scrub straight to the moment.

Jump to any flag and watch exactly what happened, keystroke by keystroke. A paste attempt at 12:34, a tab away at 23:10, all on the record and easy to judge.

  • Keystroke-level replay, nothing to set up
  • Flags you can click, not a vague score

Scorecards and pipeline

Compare candidates on the evidence.

Everyone scored against the same rubric, lined up side by side, with their integrity flags in plain view. The decision starts to make itself.

  • One rubric, applied to every candidate
  • Your hiring history, searchable and comparable
How it works

From open role to clear decision in three steps.

Set up in a minute, run the interview your way, and review with your team. No training required.

1

Create and send a link

Pick a question or a ready-made template, set the language and the time limit, then send one link to your candidate.

2

Run it live or async

Watch them code in real time with private notes and a rubric only you can see. Or let them take it on their own, fully recorded for later.

3

Review and decide

Scrub the replay, read the integrity timeline, compare candidates next to each other, and make the call together.

Everything you need

Keep a record of every interview you run.

Run the interview, keep the recording, and build up a hiring history you can search and compare later.

Integrity timeline

Paste attempts, focus loss and ghost-typing laid over the replay, so you see the moment it happened, not a number.

Keystroke replay

Replay any interview from the first character to the last. It records itself, with nothing for you to set up.

One-link join

Candidates open the room in the browser. No install, no account, no time lost before they start.

Your branding

Your logo, colour and welcome on the candidate room, so it looks like your company built it.

Pipeline and compare

Every candidate in one place, scored against the same rubric and lined up side by side.

Slack and ATS

Results land in Slack the second an interview ends, and flow into the tools your team already uses.

The candidate side

It works for the candidate too.

The engineers you interview this year pick the tools at their own company next year. A fair, low-friction interview is worth more to you later than it costs you now.

  • Opens in one click, with nothing to install
  • A clear brief, a visible timer, and a way to ask for help
  • Honest up front about what gets recorded and why
  • The same fair conditions for every candidate

Questions

The things teams ask first.

Is this really AI-proof? +
No tool is, and anyone who promises that is selling you something. Meritan makes cheating effortful and visible. Paste is blocked, suspicious patterns are flagged, and the whole session is on the record so a person can judge with real evidence.
Do candidates need to install or sign up? +
No. They open one link in the browser and begin. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Can we run live and take-home interviews? +
Both. Run it live with the candidate, or send it as a recorded async session they take on their own. Same engine and the same evidence either way.
How does pricing work? +
Free to start. Paid plans are billed per interviewer per month, and reviewers are always free. You only pay for the people actually running interviews.
Is candidate data handled properly? +
Candidates consent before anything is recorded, you control how long data is kept, and sessions stay private to your team. GDPR delete is built in.
How long does it take to get going? +
About a minute. Create an interview, send the link, and you are running. No setup call required.
