Introduction
Welcome to Filtered! We understand that being asked to install an extension before your assessment or interview might raise some questions. This article aims to clarify why the Filtered Extension is required, what it does, and how it ensures a fair and secure experience for all candidates.
Why Is the Filtered Extension Required?
Ensuring Fairness and Parity
In today's digital landscape, candidates have access to a variety of tools—both AI-based and non-AI-based—that could provide assistance during an assessment or interview. To maintain a level playing field, the Filtered Extension helps gather additional data points for reviewers. This ensures that every candidate is evaluated fairly and that the hiring company can make informed decisions based on consistent information.
What Does the Filtered Extension Do?
Active Session Monitoring Only
Session-Specific Tracking: The extension only tracks your browser tabs during an active assessment or interview session. This means any browsing activity outside of the assessment or interview is not monitored.
Automatic Uninstallation: Once you complete your assessment or interview, the extension will automatically uninstall itself from your browser.
Transparency Through Open Source
Inspect the Source Code: You can verify exactly what the extension does by inspecting its source code. All browser extensions' source codes are accessible through your browser's developer tools.
