TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS
Create a controlled environment for longer evaluations.
SecureInterview gives candidates a professional private location for coding challenges, case studies, data exercises, design tasks, and other technical assessments while letting employers choose the device, environment, recording, and supervision controls they need.

KEEP YOUR CURRENT WORKFLOW
SecureInterview secures the environment - not the assessment itself.
Employers keep control of the technical evaluation and can continue using existing assessment tools where the required configuration is supported.
SecureInterview provides the private location and selected assurance controls around the employer's workflow.
