- Keystroke biometric drift detection
- Replayable session video for human review

Frequently asked questions
What does the sales development representative assessment cover?+
Our sales development representative test covers cold outbound (calls, email, linkedin), discovery question design, objection handling, crm hygiene & sequencing, plus situational judgment items calibrated to junior level. SDR hiring is high-volume by design; behavioral video questions plus written outreach samples beat resume screening for predicting ramp. Every question, weighting, and time limit is editable.
How long is a typical sales development representative interview process on ClarityHire?+
Most teams run a 45 minutes sales 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 sdr req ships an offer in under two weeks.
How do you stop sales development representative candidates from leaning on ChatGPT?+
Behind the scenes, every Sales 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 sales development representatives?+
If you have an enterprise ATS for compliance, you can keep it and use our webhooks. If you're paying for a recruiting CRM just to track SDR candidates, you almost certainly don't need it once ClarityHire is in.
How much does ClarityHire cost for sales development representative hiring?+
Free for low volume, paid plans for hiring teams running multiple Sales Development Representative loops a month, and enterprise with SSO + audit + DPA. We don't charge per-seat for interviewers — only per candidate processed.
