Ana PradoA customer was promised a feature for March, and it is late. Write your first reply.
Hi Marina, you are right to be annoyed. We said that feature would be there in March and it is not. I am not giving you a new date today, because the last one was wrong and a second wrong date is worse than none. By Thursday I will tell you where it actually stands and what we can put in place meanwhile.
78ScoreAI feedback
Answers the question asked and gives a reason for each step. Names the cost of getting it wrong, which most answers leave out. Does not say what happens if the new date slips too.
Example data. The question, the candidate and the answer are invented. - 3
Integrity checks
Pastes, tab switches and typing are recorded as candidates answer, and answers that need a closer look are flagged.
- No camera, no screen recording
- Typing playback on Pro

Every feature, by page
Each card opens the part of the page that explains it, with the plan that includes it.
Question types and building
Building the assessment and getting it in front of candidates.
- Question typesVideo, audio, code, ranking, scales, file upload and more, each scored the way that type deserves.
- Assessment builderDrag a question into place, or describe the role and let the AI draft the assessment for you to edit.
- Video answersA candidate records an answer when they are free. You watch it with the transcript beside it.
- Behavioral assessmentA Big Five inventory with forced ranking, scored per trait rather than reduced to one number.
- Public linksOne link, no account for the candidate. Password, time limit and a close date if you want them.
- URL parametersCarry a source, a campaign or a candidate id into the assessment and back out with the result.
AI scoring and analytics
What happens to an answer before you open it, and across a role.
- AI scoringEvery answer arrives scored from 0 to 100 with the reason beside it, and spoken answers are transcribed first.
- AnalyticsHow a role performs across candidates, which question separates people, and where they drop out.
- Code reviewRun the candidate code, see the output, and read how it was written rather than only what it returns.
Integrity checks and data
Whether candidates wrote their answers themselves, and how their data is kept.
- AI answer detectionLanguage patterns, typing and consistency across answers, reported as signals for review rather than a verdict.
- Tab switching and copy-pasteWhat happened during the assessment: focus lost, text pasted, the window hidden, each timestamped.
- Keystroke playbackWatch a written answer being typed. A pasted paragraph looks nothing like a written one.
- Security and accessPassword protection, time limits, access by team role, and consent recorded with each submission.
Hiring pipeline and team
Moving candidates through a role, with the right people able to see it.
- Positions and pipelineGroup assessments under a position and see which step each candidate has reached, with results attached.
- Reminders and save to resumeA candidate can stop and come back. Reminders go out on their own, and you see whether each was opened.
- Team and permissionsBring colleagues in with a role, so a hiring manager reads results without editing the assessment.
Questions people ask about the product
Does the AI decide who gets hired?
No. It scores each answer and writes the reason beside the score. You accept or reject each candidate yourself. Nobody is passed or rejected automatically.
What does the free plan include?
Building assessments, sending the public link, and a monthly allowance of answers, with no card. AI scoring, video and audio start on Starter, and code on Pro.
Do candidates need an account or an app?
No. They open the link in a browser, on a phone if that is what they have, and answer. Progress is saved, so they can stop and come back.
Can I see the questions before I build anything?
Yes. Every ready-made template has its own page with sample questions, before any account exists. Questions with an answer key are held back.
Does it work with the tools we already use?
There is a public REST API, webhooks for every submission, and a Zapier app, so your applicant tracking system can create assessments and receive results.
Start from a template instead of a blank page
The catalog is open and the questions are on the page, before any account exists.
2 assessments and 20 answers a month, free. No card.
