Frequently Asked Questions
No, we don’t. These monitoring methods have been shown to introduce bias, create a negative experience for candidates, and even hinder their performance in tests. It’s also important to note that if a developer were inclined to do so, it would be relatively simple to deceive these measures.
No, our approach is to foster a relationship of trust with candidates and recruiters right from the start. Our experience shows instances of identity fraud are rare. Candidates understand that, at some point during the recruitment process, they will have face-to-face interactions with recruiters or future colleagues.
We can’t publicly share the specifics but if you’re interested in knowing more and willing to sign an NDA, please contact support.
The Code Playback feature lets us record what candidates do while they’re coding. You can watch how they build their algorithm, what they paste from other places, and what happens when they run their code. Explore a demo version of Code Playback.
