To enhance our commitment to secure testing, we are introducing Email Alerts for Question Leakage. This feature ensures that our customers can address leaked assessment questions immediately, preserving the quality and reliability of their hiring process.

Benefits of Email Alerts for Question Leakage

  • Timely Notifications: Get alerted about leaked questions in your test, allowing for swift action.
  • Manage your inbox: Get alerted only for the tests that you subscribe to for leakage alerts. You also get to choose the cadence at which it is delivered to your inbox.
  • Streamlined leakage Management: Direct links in the emails take you to the test platform for immediate question replacement.

Enabling Email Alerts

  4. Save your changes.

For All Your Tests

  1. Go to User settings.

Receiving and Acting on Alerts

Upon activation, test editors will receive an email with:

  • A list of tests containing leaked questions.
  • Direct calls-to-action (CTAs) to manage each specific test.

Note: The list will have 2 kinds of leakages:

1) Questions that were not leakage protected and got leaked (marked without the shield icon)

2) Questions that were leakage protected but the automatic replacement failed (marked with the shield icon).

For viewing more than 3 tests, download the spreadsheet linked in the email to see all leaked questions across the tests you are monitoring.

 

With this feature, you can rest assured that the integrity of your assessments is vigilantly monitored. By enabling email alerts for question leakage, you can keep your hiring process secure and your assessments up to date, ensuring a fair evaluation of each candidate's skills.
