Test integrity signals for review

Each candidate gets a different question set drawn from large pools. Questions and answer options are shuffled, and the browser receives one question at a time. Answer keys stay on HireValid’s servers. The test takes 10 minutes, and candidates cannot go back to earlier questions. Reloading brings back the same question with only the remaining time. Question text cannot be copied or selected; a blocked copy attempt is recorded in the timeline. HireValid records signals such as time away from the test tab, pastes into answers and answers faster than a question can be read. An Integrity Score and evidence timeline summarize signals for the employer to review. The score does not decide on its own. With the candidate’s consent, the employer can add webcam photos at random moments.

Use the score as one signal

Review the result alongside a work sample and a structured interview, not as a stand-alone decision. For a work sample, ask the candidate to interpret a pipeline report or plan account coverage, then discuss their choices. Compare the evidence with the role’s needs. Related assessments include Sales Aptitude, Negotiation and Performance Management.

Fairness and accommodations

Scenarios come from both industrial manufacturing and software and services, so neither background is favored. Amounts are plain numbers in thousands with no currency symbol or country, regions are given neutral names, and names come from many backgrounds and genders. Questions avoid sports, idioms and brand names, and every fact a question needs is shown in it. A calculator and scratch paper are allowed for every candidate.
