Question 1

What is ClarityHire and how is it different from other hiring platforms?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire is an all-in-one hiring and assessment platform that combines candidate tracking, multi-format assessments, live video interviews, and multi-layered integrity detection. Unlike tools that only handle one piece of the hiring process, ClarityHire covers everything from job posting to offer in a single platform.

Question 2

Who is ClarityHire designed for?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire is built for companies hiring technical talent, from startups making their first engineering hires to enterprises running hundreds of assessments per month. Recruiters, hiring managers, and engineering leads all use ClarityHire to streamline their workflows.

Question 3

How long does it take to set up ClarityHire?

Accepted Answer

Most teams send their first assessment within 10 minutes of signing up. You can create a job, build an assessment from templates, and invite candidates immediately. Full pipeline customization, branding, and team setup typically take under an hour.

Question 4

Does ClarityHire work for non-technical roles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While ClarityHire excels at technical hiring with live coding and code coherence AI, it also supports MCQ, essay, file upload, and video response questions that work well for any role. Many teams use it for product, design, and operations roles alongside engineering.

Question 5

Can I migrate data from my existing ATS or assessment tool?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire supports bulk CSV import for candidates, making it straightforward to migrate existing data. Our webhook system also enables real-time sync with other tools during a transition period.

Question 6

What types of assessment questions does ClarityHire support?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire supports multiple choice (MCQ), multi-select, live coding with a collaborative editor, essay and short-form text, file upload, and video response questions. You can mix question types within a single assessment to evaluate different skills.

Question 7

How does the live coding environment work?

Accepted Answer

Candidates write code in a Monaco Editor (the same engine behind VS Code) with support for 30+ languages. The editor uses Yjs CRDT for real-time collaboration, so interviewers can watch candidates code live or co-edit alongside them. Code can be executed and tested within the environment.

Question 8

Can I set time limits on assessments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set an overall time limit for the entire assessment and individual time limits per question. When a time limit expires, the assessment automatically advances to the next question or submits the final results.

Question 9

How is automated grading handled?

Accepted Answer

MCQ and multi-select questions are auto-scored instantly. Coding questions are evaluated against test cases with automatic pass/fail scoring. Essay and code quality can be AI-graded using Anthropic Claude for nuanced evaluation of communication and approach.

Question 10

Can candidates practice before the real assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add unscored practice questions at the beginning of any assessment so candidates can familiarize themselves with the interface and question format before the timed portion begins.

Question 11

How do live video interviews work in ClarityHire?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire uses LiveKit for WebRTC-powered video conferencing directly in the browser. No downloads or plugins required. Interviews include a collaborative code editor, screen sharing, and an AI copilot panel that suggests follow-up questions and evaluates answers in real time.

Question 12

Can I record interviews for later review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interview sessions can be recorded so hiring managers or team members who could not attend can review the full conversation and coding session afterward with playback controls.

Question 13

How does the AI copilot assist interviewers?

Accepted Answer

The AI copilot panel surfaces relevant candidate data, suggests follow-up questions based on the conversation, and provides real-time evaluation notes. It helps interviewers stay consistent and thorough without extensive preparation.

Question 14

Does ClarityHire support scheduling across time zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ClarityHire handles timezone conversion automatically and integrates with Calendly for self-service scheduling. Candidates see available slots in their local timezone, and automated email reminders are sent before the interview.

Question 15

What integrity signals does ClarityHire monitor?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire monitors five primary signals: face continuity (verifying the same person throughout), keystroke biometrics (detecting typing pattern changes), gaze analysis (flagging off-screen reading), audio/video sync (detecting lip-sync anomalies), and code coherence AI (analyzing whether edit patterns match authentic human work).

Question 16

Does integrity detection require candidates to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. All integrity monitoring runs in the browser using the webcam and standard web APIs. There are no browser extensions, desktop agents, or downloads required. This reduces friction and keeps completion rates high.

Question 17

What are the three integrity levels?

Accepted Answer

None disables all monitoring for low-stakes assessments. Basic enables tab-switch tracking, copy-paste detection, and fullscreen enforcement. Strict adds face continuity, keystroke biometrics, gaze analysis, and code coherence AI for high-stakes evaluations.

Question 18

How accurate is the face verification system?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire uses InsightFace with ArcFace embeddings, the same technology used in identity verification at scale. It compares face embeddings throughout the session to detect if a different person takes over, with high accuracy and low false-positive rates.

Question 19

Can candidates see their integrity score?

Accepted Answer

Integrity monitoring runs silently in the background and candidates are informed that monitoring is active. Detailed integrity scores and per-signal breakdowns are only visible to your hiring team in the results dashboard, not to candidates.

Question 20

How is ClarityHire priced?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire uses subscription-based pricing managed through Stripe. Plans scale based on team size and assessment volume. Contact us for specific pricing details and volume discounts.

Question 21

Is there a free trial available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can sign up and start using ClarityHire immediately to explore the platform, create assessments, and invite candidates. No credit card is required to get started.

Question 22

Can I change or cancel my plan at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plan changes take effect immediately and billing is prorated. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time from the billing settings page with no long-term contracts.

Question 23

Do you offer discounts for startups or nonprofits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer special pricing for early-stage startups, nonprofits, and educational institutions. Contact our team with details about your organization and we will work out a plan that fits your budget.

Question 24

How does ClarityHire handle candidate data privacy?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire is designed with GDPR and BIPA compliance in mind. You can configure data retention policies with automatic deletion schedules. Candidates can request data export or deletion, and all actions are tracked in the audit log.

Question 25

Is candidate data encrypted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption. File uploads are stored with server-side encryption. Database connections use SSL by default.

Question 26

Does ClarityHire support SSO and team access controls?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire supports Google OAuth and email magic link authentication. Six granular roles (super_admin, admin, hiring_manager, recruiter, interviewer, viewer) let you control exactly what each team member can see and do.

Question 27

Where is ClarityHire data stored?

Accepted Answer

ClarityHire uses PostgreSQL for structured data and local file storage for uploads. All infrastructure runs on modern cloud providers with redundancy, automated backups, and monitoring. Contact us for specific data residency requirements.
