Part 1: The Importance of Transparent HR Tech

• Why Integrity Matters in HR Assessments

Integrity in HR assessments is more than a buzzword—it's the cornerstone of a reliable recruitment process. When assessments are compromised, the consequences are severe: companies risk hiring unsuitable candidates, and deserving candidates may be overlooked. This jeopardizes the effectiveness of the recruitment process and can lead to significant financial and reputational damage.

• Financial Impact: Hiring the wrong candidate can lead to increased turnover and training costs.
• Reputational Damage: Unfair hiring practices can tarnish a company's reputation, making it harder to attract top talent.
• Legal Risks: Compromised assessments could result in legal challenges and compliance issues.
• The Evolution of HR Tech

HR tech has evolved dramatically over the past decade. From basic online quizzes to sophisticated AI-driven platforms, the tools available to HR professionals have become more advanced and essential. However, with these advancements come new challenges. Ensuring the integrity of assessments is now more complex, requiring innovative solutions to address potential threats such as cheating, impersonation, and content leaks.

Part 2: Advanced Proctoring Techniques and Identity Verification

• Real-Time Environment Monitoring

Unberry employs state-of-the-art techniques to monitor the candidate's environment in real-time. This includes checking for unauthorized individuals in the room, detecting additional devices, and ensuring that the candidate's focus remains solely on the assessment. Our advanced algorithms analyze live video feeds to spot any suspicious behavior, making it harder for candidates to gain an unfair advantage.

• Multi-Monitor Detection

One common method of cheating involves using multiple monitors to access unauthorized information. Unberry’s multi-monitor detection feature instantly identifies if a candidate is using more than one monitor. This ensures that the candidate cannot seek external help during the assessment, maintaining the integrity of the test environment.

• Image Proctoring & Analysis

During the assessment, Unberry’s image proctoring feature captures images of the candidate and their surroundings at regular intervals. These images are then analyzed using advanced algorithms to detect any irregularities, such as the presence of unauthorized persons or materials. This comprehensive approach ensures that the assessment environment remains secure throughout the process.

• Ensuring the Right Candidate Takes the Test

Verifying the identity of the candidate is a critical step in maintaining assessment integrity. Unberry uses a robust photo identification process where the candidate's photo is captured before the assessment begins. This photo is then used as a reference throughout the test to ensure that the person taking the assessment is indeed the registered candidate.

• Continuous Identity Verification

Unberry goes a step further by implementing continuous identity verification. Our system captures the candidate’s image at regular intervals during the assessment, comparing these images with the initial photo using facial recognition technology. This continuous monitoring helps prevent impersonation and ensures that the candidate is not receiving external assistance.

Part 3: Detecting Suspicious Behavior and Preventing Test Content Leaks

• Monitoring and Analyzing Assessment Input

Suspicious behavior during assessments can take many forms, from using unauthorized resources to collaborating with others. Unberry’s advanced monitoring system tracks all inputs during the assessment, using AI and machine learning to identify patterns that suggest cheating. This includes analyzing typing speed, input patterns, and other behavioral metrics to detect irregularities.

• Copy-Paste Tracking

Our copy-paste tracking feature detects if a candidate attempts to paste copied content into their responses. By identifying instances where candidates use pre-written solutions from external sources, we can ensure that the assessment results reflect the candidate’s true abilities.

• Tab-Switch Proctoring

Unberry’s tab-switch proctoring feature monitors if a candidate switches tabs during the assessment. This helps identify if the candidate is accessing unauthorized resources or seeking external help. By maintaining a controlled testing environment, we ensure that the candidate’s performance is based solely on their own knowledge and skills.

• Shuffled Questions and Sections

Content leaks are a significant threat to the integrity of assessments. To combat this, Unberry uses a system that shuffles questions and sections for each candidate. This randomization makes it difficult for candidates to share specific questions or answers, ensuring that every assessment is unique and fair.

• Watermarking and Hiding Question Labels

Unberry’s watermarking feature embeds the candidate’s email ID into the assessment content. This acts as a deterrent against sharing test questions, as the watermark can be traced back to the individual who leaked the content. Additionally, hiding question labels prevents candidates from easily searching for answers online, further protecting the integrity of the test.

• AI-Solvable Content Label

With the rise of AI tools that can solve assessment questions, it’s crucial to differentiate between questions that can be easily solved by AI and those that require human intelligence. Unberry labels its library questions based on their potential solvability by AI, allowing hiring teams to filter out questions susceptible to AI-generated solutions. This ensures a more accurate assessment of a candidate’s skills.
