Do you want to verify the identity of your test-taker when taking the Pipplet test? Here are two different ways to do so:
Visual monitoring
You can enable remote identity verification for free through the candidate's webcam to confirm the individual taking the test is the same person, eliminating the need for in-person meetings.
How does it work?
- When adding a new test-taker on your dashboard, simply check the box "Check the candidate's identity using his/her webcam."
- Pipplet will request permission from the test-taker to access their webcam. Snapshots will be taken at random times throughout the test.
- You can view these snapshots on your dashboard to validate identity.
