About

What is Time Zone Difference Scan?

Time Zone Difference Scan is a fraud detection feature that cross-checks the time zone of the candidate’s location with the scheduled interview time to ensure there are no discrepancies. It provides real-time analysis of the candidate’s claimed time zone against the actual time zone derived from their IP address.

In today’s global job market, candidates may try to mislead hiring managers by claiming to be in a different time zone to mask time-related issues, such as missed appointments or availability conflicts. The Time Zone Difference Scan helps you validate whether a candidate’s availability aligns with their claimed time zone and the actual time zone derived from their connection, ensuring accurate scheduling and authentic interviews.

What Time Zone Difference Scan Detects:

Time Zone Mismatch
· Compares the candidate’s claimed time zone with the actual time zone derived from their IP address
· Detects discrepancies between the interview scheduling time and the candidate’s real-time zone
· Flags when a candidate claims to be in a different time zone than their IP indicates (e.g., claiming to be in New York when their IP shows they are in California)

Time Zone Manipulation
· Identifies when a candidate is intentionally masking their time zone to align with a convenient interview time
· Flags when candidates show inconsistent time zone behavior across different interview rounds or screening stages
· Monitors time zone shifting patterns that might suggest the candidate is lying about availability or using proxies to mislead interviewers

Interview Scheduling Conflicts
· Detects candidates who claim availability in a time zone that is inconsistent with the scheduled interview
· Verifies if the candidate's available hours match their location's time zone to ensure accurate scheduling
· Provides alerts when there are suspicious or impossible time zone overlaps (e.g., a 2 AM interview when the candidate’s location is in a time zone that doesn’t allow for such availability)

Why Time Zone Difference Scan Matters?

Ensure Accurate Scheduling
Stop confusion or missed interviews by verifying that candidates are available at the right times based on their actual location.

🛡️ Prevent Time Zone-Based Fraud
Some candidates may attempt to manipulate their time zone to claim availability when they are not in the time zone they claim. This scan exposes such discrepancies.

🌍 Verify Global Availability
In remote hiring scenarios, candidates might claim to be in a time zone that suits their availability, but Time Zone Difference Scan ensures authenticity by cross-checking their real-time time zone.

Avoid Missed Opportunities
With accurate time zone validation, prevent awkward scheduling errors, missed interviews, or delays that may reflect poorly on your hiring process.
