How your interview data is handled

You're taking an online interview for a company that uses Assesshire. This page explains in plain language what is collected, why, who sees it and how long it's kept.

Last updated October 27, 2026

In short

  • Recorded

    Your camera and microphone are recorded during the interview.

  • Checked, not screen-recorded

    The app looks for apps the rules don't allow. It doesn't record your screen or open your files.

  • AI-assisted, people decide

    AI helps score your answers. People at the hiring company make the decision.

  • Deleted on schedule

    Recordings are deleted automatically, after 180 days by default.

What is recorded

Your camera and microphone are recorded from the start to the end of the interview, and the app takes webcam snapshots from time to time. Spoken answers are recorded and transcribed. Your written answers, code and whiteboard drawings are saved.

  • Camera video

    For the whole interview, from start to end.

  • Microphone audio

    Recorded with the video, plus your spoken answers.

  • Webcam snapshots

    Still pictures taken from time to time.

  • Your answers

    Written answers, code, whiteboard drawings and transcripts.

  • Device details

    Operating system, processor, memory and a device identifier.

  • Connection

    Your IP address, and the rule checks of the app.

What the app checks

While the interview runs, the app checks for things the rules do not allow: more than one display, screen sharing, remote access, screen recording or AI assistant apps, windows shown over the interview, virtual machines, leaving the interview window and blocked shortcuts. To do this it looks at the names of running apps and open windows. It does not record your screen and does not open your files.

The interview also stores basic information about this device (operating system, processor, memory and a device identifier) and your IP address.

Why it's collected

  • To assess your skills

    Your answers, code and recording are what the hiring team reviews, in the same way for every candidate.

  • To keep the interview fair

    Snapshots and the app's checks show the hiring team whether the interview followed the rules.

  • To run the interview

    Sending your invitation, checking that your computer is ready and helping when something goes wrong.

How your answers are evaluated

Answers are scored automatically or with the help of an AI model that follows the hiring company's scoring guide. The scores, the AI's notes and the monitoring results support the hiring team: people at the hiring company review them and make the hiring decision.

    Saved as you go

    The hiring team reviews and decides

Who sees your data and how long it is kept

Your interview is available to the hiring company's team. Service providers process it on the company's behalf: AI evaluation, speech transcription, email delivery and cloud storage.

The hiring company decides how long recordings and snapshots are kept; by default they are deleted automatically 180 days after the interview. Scores and the written report are kept until the company deletes them.

Service providers

  • AI evaluation

    Scores written answers, code and transcripts against the company's scoring guide.

  • Speech transcription

    Turns spoken answers into text so they can be read and scored.

  • Email delivery

    Sends your invitation and, if the company shares it, your result.

  • Cloud storage

    Stores your recording, snapshots and answers.

Your choices

Taking part is voluntary. If you do not agree, do not start the interview and contact the hiring company to ask about alternatives.

The hiring company is responsible for your data. Contact them to get a copy of your data, to correct it or to have it deleted.

Questions or requests?

Contact the company that invited you, using the details in your invitation email. Assesshire runs the interview software on their behalf, so they handle requests to see, correct or delete your data.
