Why Stealth Mode Matters

Graphic showing Interview Sidekick Stealth Mode benefits, including support for all interview types, a distraction-free interface, and real-time AI assistance that helps candidates stay calm and confident during live interviews.

Interviews are high-pressure moments. Even well-prepared candidates can lose their train of thought, forget examples, or struggle to respond clearly when questions come unexpectedly.

AI interview tools can help, but many of them create a new problem. They show visible windows, overlays, or pop-ups that can appear during screen sharing or video calls. That makes them distracting, risky, or unusable in real interview settings.

Stealth Mode was built to solve this.

It allows job seekers to receive real-time interview support without putting anything on screen, without interrupting the conversation, and without changing how the interview looks or feels to the interviewer.

The result is a calmer interview experience, better answers in the moment, and support that stays private, quiet, and completely invisible.

True Stealth Mode is available through the Interview Sidekick desktop app. To keep real-time assistance completely hidden during interviews, job seekers need to install and use the desktop version.

What Users Get with Stealth Mode

Invisible to Screen Sharing

Interview Sidekick stays completely hidden during video calls and screen sharing. Nothing appears on screen, even when you’re presenting or sharing your desktop.

Hidden from Dock and Taskbar

When Stealth Mode is enabled, the app disappears from the dock and taskbar. Interview Sidekick continues working quietly in the background without drawing attention.

One-Click Control

Stealth Mode can be turned on or off instantly using a single click. Get support when you need it, and hide it just as fast.

Full AI Interview Assistance

Stealth Mode doesn’t limit functionality. You still get:

  • Real-time AI-generated answers to interview questions

  • Help with coding, system design, and technical problems

  • Clear, structured responses for behavioral questions

All delivered discreetly, without interrupting the interview.

-> Stealth Mode gives job seekers powerful interview support, without changing what interviewers see.

Why Stealth Mode Is a Game-Changer

Works Across Interview Types

Stealth Mode supports a wide range of interviews. Whether you’re answering behavioral questions using the STAR method, explaining past experience, or working through technical and coding problems, support is available in real time.

No Distracting Interface

There are no pop-ups, overlays, or visible windows. You don’t need to switch tabs, resize screens, or worry about something appearing mid-interview. Everything runs quietly in the background.

Helps You Stay Calm and Focused

Knowing support is available reduces pressure. Stealth Mode helps you stay in flow, recover quickly when you blank, and respond with more confidence, without breaking eye contact or the conversation.

-> Stealth Mode doesn’t change how interviews work. It simply makes them easier to navigate.

Ethics in Context

Stealth Mode is designed to support job seekers, not replace their skills or misrepresent who they are.

It acts as a confidence and clarity tool, helping candidates organize thoughts, recall examples, and respond more clearly under pressure. How it’s used is always up to the individual, and we encourage responsible use aligned with personal values and interview expectations.

Stealth Mode is especially helpful for:

  • Non-native English speakers who want clearer phrasing

  • Nervous candidates who perform better with quiet guidance

  • Job seekers navigating fast-paced or high-pressure interviews

The goal isn’t to change who you are, it’s to help you show your best self when it matters most.
