Harver may record your screen during an assessment when the employer enables a monitored or proctored experience. It is not safe to assume that every Harver assessment uses screen recording. The invitation and the setup instructions should tell you whether screen, camera, microphone, or identity checks are required.
When Harver screen recording applies
Harver assessments are configured by the hiring company. A standard assessment may focus on questions, simulations, or skills results without recording your desktop. A proctored assessment can add monitoring requirements, including screen sharing or recording.
Look for wording about:
- Screen sharing or desktop access
- Webcam or microphone permissions
- Browser permissions and system checks
- Identity verification or proctoring
- Recording and review by the employer
If the instructions request access before the assessment begins, that is the clearest indication that monitoring is enabled for your session.
What Harver may capture
The exact settings depend on the assessment and employer configuration. A monitored test may capture or check:
- Screen activity during the assessment
- Webcam images or video to confirm who is taking the test
- Microphone input when audio monitoring is enabled
- Browser or test-window activity associated with the session
These features should be disclosed through the invitation or pre-test consent screen. Read those notices before granting access.
Does every Harver assessment record you?
No. Harver assessments are not necessarily recorded in the same way. Some employers use assessments for skills and behavioral measurement without intensive proctoring, while others enable additional controls for roles where test integrity is especially important.
If the invitation does not mention screen recording, camera access, or proctoring, contact the recruiter before starting rather than guessing. Ask what is monitored, how long recordings are retained, and who can review them.
How to prepare for a monitored Harver assessment
- Read the complete invitation and setup instructions.
- Test your webcam, microphone, browser, and internet connection if requested.
- Close unrelated applications and remove private information from the visible desktop.
- Take the assessment in a quiet, well-lit space.
- Ask the recruiter about any monitoring requirement you do not understand.
Bottom line
Harver can record your screen when the employer enables the relevant monitoring or proctoring settings, but recording is not automatically part of every assessment. Check the invitation and consent screen for the exact requirements before you begin.
