- Optional camera + screen capture
- Webhook alerts when integrity score drops below your threshold

Frequently asked questions
What does the business development representative assessment cover?+
Our business development representative test covers outbound prospecting at scale, icp & target-account research, multi-touch sequence design, objection handling, plus situational judgment items calibrated to junior level. BDR hiring overlaps SDR but skews more strategic-account; strong candidates show research depth on target accounts in their work samples. Every question, weighting, and time limit is editable.
How long is a typical business development representative interview process on ClarityHire?+
Most teams run a 45 minutes business development representative assessment, then schedule a 30–45 minute live interview with the top finishers. ClarityHire automates invites, scheduling, scoring, and reports so the average bdr req ships an offer in under two weeks.
How do you stop business development representative candidates from leaning on ChatGPT?+
Behind the scenes, every Business Development Representative session captures keystroke timestamps, paste payloads, focus events, and (optionally) screen + camera. The integrity layer turns that telemetry into a single authenticity score with click-through evidence — not a black-box flag.
Do I still need a separate ATS to hire business development representatives?+
Most teams retire their ATS once they migrate Business Development Representative hiring to ClarityHire. The pipeline, scoring, scheduling, and reports all live here — there's nothing the ATS was doing that we don't.
How much does ClarityHire cost for business development representative hiring?+
Pricing is volume-based. Hiring one Business Development Representative a month costs nothing on the free tier; hiring at scale moves you to a paid plan with predictable per-candidate economics. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
