Candidate Assessment & Proctoring Notice

What happens when a proctored assessment is enabled, what we capture, and how to request an accommodation or dispute a flag.

1. Why You're Seeing This

Some assessments on SwiftCruit use integrity controls ("proctoring") to verify identity and help ensure a fair evaluation for every candidate. This notice explains what is captured, why, how long it is kept, and how to raise a concern - before any camera or microphone access begins.

This notice applies only when the recruiting company has enabled proctoring for a specific assessment. Practice sessions and unproctored assessments are not affected.

2. What We Capture

  • •Webcam video and microphone audio recorded during the assessment session to verify identity and monitor for integrity issues.
  • •Screen recording, for assessments that require screen sharing as part of the setup check.
  • •Session integrity events: exiting fullscreen, switching tabs or windows, opening developer tools, and copy/paste actions during the assessment.
  • •Device and browser metadata (e.g., browser type, screen resolution) collected as part of the assessment session.

3. Why We Use It

We use these controls to verify that the correct person is taking the assessment, deter impersonation or unauthorized assistance, investigate possible integrity violations, resolve disputes, and document the validity of results for the recruiting company.

4. Who Can Review It

Access to proctoring evidence is limited to trained reviewers, authorized personnel at the recruiting company, and a small number of SwiftCruit support, security, or legal staff who need it to do their job.

Automated rules may flag a session for human review. Where law requires meaningful human review before an adverse decision, no final adverse action is taken solely on the basis of an automated integrity signal.

5. How Long We Keep It

Unflagged proctoring evidence (snapshots and integrity-event logs) is retained for up to 90 days by default and then securely deleted.

If a session is flagged for review, disputed, requested by the recruiting company, or subject to a legal hold, evidence may be retained for up to 12 months, or longer only where required by law.

6. If You Don't Want to Be Captured

You may decline camera, microphone, or screen-sharing access at the permissions step. Depending on how the recruiting company configured the assessment, declining may prevent you from starting or completing a proctored assessment.

7. Accommodation & Disputes

If you need an accommodation or an alternative assessment format, or you want to contest a proctoring flag or decision, contact us before or as soon as practicable after your session.

8. Your Consent

By continuing past the permissions step and enabling your camera and/or microphone, you confirm that you received this notice and wish to proceed. Where local law requires your affirmative consent to this monitoring, continuing constitutes that consent.
