Meet the Next Generation of Criteria Proctoring: More Coverage. Clearer Results.
Updated

Criteria Proctoring has received a major upgrade, delivering even stronger assessment integrity while keeping the candidate experience smooth and modern. These updates give your hiring team more confidence in the assessment results, providing expanded monitoring options for higher-stakes roles and clearer outcomes to act on.
What’s changing
1) “Detect Voices” (smarter audio monitoring): Our audio option has evolved into Monitoring: detect voices, capturing audio only when voice is detected, rather than recording at fixed intervals.
✅ Helps surface potential irregularities more efficiently.
✅ Keeps your review focused on what matters.
✅ Audio snippets are organized and included in downloadable recordings, labelled by assessment for easy auditing.
✅ Available as a results field in key views for easy review.
2) Secondary Camera Monitoring (a new integrity layer): For roles where confidence is critical, you can require a secondary camera - typically a candidate’s phone - linked securely to the same test session via QR code.
✅ Adds an additional view of your candidates' testing environment.
✅ Strengthens visibility into potential unauthorized behaviors.
✅ Secondary camera images are included in the downloadable proctoring files for streamlined review.
3) Clearer outcomes: “Clear” and “Review”: We’ve simplified the language of proctoring results across the platform:
*️⃣ Clear (replacing “Pass”)
*️⃣ Review (replacing and consolidating “Flag/Fail”)
This creates a more intuitive decision flow, helping your team quickly identify when a session looks good versus when it deserves a closer look.
4) Refined “Clear / Review” triggers (more accurate integrity signals): Behind the scenes, we’ve improved the triggers that drive Clear vs. Review outcomes to better reflect real testing behavior. That means:
*️⃣ Fewer unnecessary reviews
*️⃣ More consistent flagging
*️⃣ Integrity signals you can trust, especially for candidates testing in varied real-world environments.
The bottom line
More coverage. Clearer signals. Faster decisions. These proctoring enhancements help your team protect assessment integrity with stronger monitoring options and simpler, more actionable results, without adding friction to your hiring workflow.
