Assessment Configuration

Overview

The Assessment Settings tab lets administrators configure assessment-related options across the platform. This includes candidate consent, demographic data collection, automatic movement of unqualified candidates, and integrity-focused rules. These configurations ensure that assessments are fair, compliant, and aligned with your hiring standards.

How To Access the Assessment Configuration:

1. Access Assessment Settings

• Log into Discovered.
• Click your name in the top-right corner.

• From the dropdown, select Settings.

• Open the Assessment Settings tab.

2. Enable or Adjust Settings

a. IntegrityFirst Assessment Automation

• Locate the option: Automatically Move IntegrityFirst Unqualified Candidates to Rejected.
• Check the box to activate.

• Click Save.
• Result: Any candidate who completes the IntegrityFirst Assessment and receives an “Unqualified” result will automatically move from their current stage (e.g., New Candidate) to Rejected.

b. Dealbreaker Screening Questions

• Locate: Automatically Move Dealbreakers to Rejected.

• When enabled, candidates who select dealbreaker answers on screening questions will be moved to Rejected automatically.

c. Informed Consent

• Toggle this setting to require candidates to provide informed consent before starting an assessment.

• Candidates must agree to how assessments will be used in your hiring process before they can continue.

d. Demographic Information

• By default, demographic data collection is enabled.

• This helps validate that assessments are unbiased.
• Only turn this off if required by law in your jurisdiction.

e. Candidate Photo Monitoring (Optional)

• Enable Take picture of the candidate during the assessment to take photos of candidates once per minute during assessments.
• Candidates must grant explicit camera access before starting.
• Completed photos will be stored in the candidate’s profile.
  Important: Check local law before you use the settings in this feature to be 100% compliant in your hiring process.

Why This Matters

Configuring assessments correctly helps you:

• Maintain compliance with privacy and employment laws.
• Reduce bias by collecting demographic information responsibly.
• Automate the rejection of candidates who clearly fail dealbreaker questions or the IntegrityFirst Assessment, saving recruiter time.
• Protect candidate transparency through informed consent.
• Safeguard assessment integrity with optional proctoring features.

Use Cases

• You want to automatically reject candidates who fail the IntegrityFirst Assessment.
• You want to enforce informed consent before candidates begin assessments.
• You need to demonstrate non-biased compliance by collecting demographic data.
• You want to enable photo monitoring during assessments for security.

Best Practices

• Only enable automation (IntegrityFirst or dealbreakers) if your team is comfortable with immediate rejection workflows.
• Always review compliance laws before enabling demographic data collection or photo monitoring.
• Customize informed consent wording to align with your company’s hiring policies.
• Periodically review assessment settings to ensure they still align with your hiring process.

What Happens Next

Once configured:

• Candidates will be required to meet your consent and compliance rules before taking assessments.
• Any failing results (based on your enabled automation) will automatically update candidate status.
• Recruiters can still review and override AI decisions if needed.
