Employers using automated assessment tools have documentation: what the tool measures, what it retains, and how long it keeps it. Asking in writing is ordinary diligence, and a professional process answers without defensiveness.
Some jurisdictions give candidates the right to know about automated decision-making in hiring, and a few require an alternative assessment on request. Whether or not yours does, the written record is useful if the process later becomes a complaint.
The protocol
- Save what you were told before the assessment: the invitation, any disclosure, and the tool's name.
- Note what the tool did: live interview recording, one-way video answers, a written test scored automatically, a game, or a chatbot screen.
- Ask three questions in writing: what data was recorded, whether an automated system scored it, and how long it is retained.
- Ask how to request an accommodation or an alternative format if the tool disadvantages you — a documented need, a disability, or a language difference.
- Keep the answers with your application records. If the process ends without explanation and you believe it was unfair, that file is what a complaint is built from.
What the tool does
Describe the assessment and get a data reading: what was recorded, what you were owed in notice, and the three questions to send in writing. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This is a question-preparation aid, not legal advice and not a determination about any employer's process. Rules for automated hiring decisions differ by jurisdiction.

If you think an automated assessment screened you out unfairly, contact the employer's HR department in writing first, then the relevant agency — the EEOC in the US, or your state or national labor authority. Deadlines for complaints are short, so record dates as you go.
