Red flag detection
4 min read·Updated Apr 21, 2026
Sorinai watches for things the candidate says that don't match their CV, the job description, or what they said earlier in the call. Every flag comes with the quote and why it was raised.
Not a lie detector
A flag is something worth asking about — not proof the candidate is being dishonest.
When flags appear
During the call, the Red flags tab in the notch shows a counter badge when a new one is raised. Tap in to see what’s been flagged. After the call, every flag is listed on the session detail view with the exact moment in the transcript it came from.
What they’re compared against
Sorinai checks candidate claims against four things:
- What they said earlier in this call — if they contradict themselves.
- Their CV, if you attached one — dates, titles, employers, skills.
- The job description, if you attached one — seniority and scope claims that don’t match the role.
- Public sources on the web — LinkedIn, GitHub, company sites. Only for concrete factual claims Sorinai can actually verify.
Severity colours
Reviewing a flag
Click any flag to see:
- The exact quote from the candidate.
- A one-sentence note on what contradicts it.
- A link back to that moment in the transcript.
- The source — the CV passage, JD line, or web link that flagged it.
A flag isn’t a verdict
Sorinai only flags things it’s reasonably confident about, but it still gets things wrong sometimes. A flag might be unfair if:
- The candidate corrected themselves later in the call.
- Their LinkedIn or GitHub profile is out of date or uses a different job-title convention than your industry.
- Two people with similar names came up in a web search and got mixed up.
Treat a flag as “ask one more question about this” — not “reject this candidate”.
