iMocha can record or monitor your screen when the employer enables remote proctoring for an assessment. It is not accurate to say that every iMocha test records candidates. The employer's assessment settings determine whether screen capture, webcam monitoring, microphone access, or identity checks are required.
When iMocha monitoring is enabled
The assessment invitation and technical setup should disclose monitoring requirements. You may see a request for browser permissions, webcam access, microphone access, screen sharing, or an identity check before the test starts.
Some employers use a standard skills test with limited monitoring. Others add proctoring when the result must demonstrate that the named candidate completed the work independently. The settings can therefore vary between two iMocha assessments.
What iMocha may monitor
Depending on the assessment configuration, monitoring may include:
- Your screen or desktop activity during the timed test
- Webcam images or video to verify identity and presence
- Microphone input when audio monitoring is enabled
- Browser behavior such as leaving the test window
- Identity or environment checks before the assessment
Read the consent and privacy notices before accepting access. If the instructions are unclear, ask the recruiter what is recorded and who reviews it.
Does iMocha record every test?
No. Proctoring is tied to the employer's chosen setup rather than automatically applied to every assessment. A test can measure technical, cognitive, or role-specific skills without using the same monitoring controls as a high-integrity exam.
If screen recording or camera access is required, the setup flow should normally make that apparent. Do not rely on assumptions based on another company's iMocha test; check the invitation for your specific assessment.
How to prepare for an iMocha assessment
- Read the invitation and technical requirements carefully.
- Complete the system check before the assessment deadline.
- Test your camera and microphone if requested.
- Close unrelated applications and tabs.
- Use a quiet workspace and ask questions before the timer starts.
Bottom line
iMocha may record your screen when the employer enables proctoring, but not every iMocha assessment uses screen recording. The invitation, permission prompts, and consent notice are the best sources for the rules of your test.
