Proctored assessments without storing webcam video
Remote proctoring usually means recording candidates' faces and sending video to a server. There's a more private way that still catches what matters.
Remote assessments created a hard question: how do you keep them fair without turning them into surveillance? The industry's default answer — record every candidate's webcam, ship the video to a server, and have someone (or something) review hours of footage — is invasive, expensive, and a privacy liability the moment that video exists.
Analyse in the browser, store only flags
Recroid runs face-presence and tab-focus analysis entirely in the candidate's browser. The signal never becomes a video file on a server. What gets stored is a short list of structured events — "looked away", "left the tab", "second face detected" — not raw footage.
Assessment types that fit the role
- Written. Classic Q&A, optionally proctored with the same in-browser monitoring.
- Audio. Spoken responses, transcribed for review.
- Video. Recorded answers when seeing the candidate respond matters.
Each type carries a deadline and a passing threshold the recruiter controls, so the assessment stage fits the role instead of forcing every role through the same hoop.
Why "flags, not footage" is the right default
- Privacy. No video means no biometric archive to secure, leak, or subpoena.
- Proportionality. A hiring decision needs a fairness signal, not a two-hour recording of someone's living room.
- Cost. You're not paying to store and stream gigabytes of candidate video.
Part of the same hire
Assessment results attach to the candidate's profile in the same pipeline that ranked them and will eventually generate their offer. No separate proctoring dashboard to reconcile.
