Click the button in the email to begin.

2. Devices and Best Practices

Assessments can be accessed through both desktop and mobile devices. However, using a desktop or laptop computer is recommended for the best experience.

All assessments must be completed in full screen mode, and you will be prompted to enter it during setup.

3. System Requirements and Setup

Before you begin, you’ll go through a short technical check. This includes:

  • Checking browser compatibility.

  • Granting access to your camera, microphone, and screen recording.

  • Enabling full-screen mode.

These measures are designed to ensure a consistent, honest, and unbiased testing environment for all participants. Use a stable internet connection and close all other applications for the best performance.

4. Data Privacy and Compliance

Your privacy is our priority. While the assessment platform uses camera access, microphone input, screen sharing, and full screen mode for integrity monitoring purposes, no data is stored beyond what is strictly necessary to ensure fair assessment conditions.

  • We do not monitor your device beyond the duration of the assessment.

  • Video, audio, and screen recordings are used solely for evaluation and fraud prevention.

  • All candidate data is handled in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • Personally identifiable information (PII) is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

  • You can request deletion of your assessment data at any time by contacting support.

By participating in an assessment, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that monitoring protocols are used exclusively for fairness, identity verification, and test security.
