The Photo Identification feature helps verify a candidate’s identity. When enabled, the system prompts candidates to capture a photo using their webcam before starting the test. The hiring team can later review the captured photo to confirm the candidate’s identity. This feature is disabled by default.

How Photo Identification works

Before the test

The system prompts candidates to allow in-session photo capture access. Candidates must select Allow Photos under In-Session Photo Capture to proceed.

The system then prompts candidates to capture their photo for identity verification.

If a candidate does not capture the photo manually, the system captures it automatically after a short countdown. The test begins immediately after the photo is submitted.

After the test

The captured photo appears in the candidate’s Summary Report for manual verification.

To view the candidate photo:

1. Open the candidate’s Summary Report. For detailed steps to access the Summary Report, see Accessing the Summary Report.

2. Go to the Attempt Activity tab.

   

3.  Expand the Photo ID section to view the photo.
