Perhaps they want to save time and cost, but such a practice undermines a talent's experience. This is not recommended here. Recording your ID without governing terms, and recording your camera without any clear terms.

1. I did not trust candidates at all.
2. Not talent-friendly.
3. Worst interview experience so far compared with other companies.

Using CodeSignal to screen talents for a 70-minute test is fine and acceptable.

What is not acceptable are:

1. Mandating candidates to be recorded for 70 minutes with their government ID upfront by CodeSignal.
2. Not replying to emails when pointing out such recording practices.

CodeSignal claims recording is for training purposes and can be opted out of by the recruiter. They are practicing bad actor behavior with consumer privacy information. There is a huge risk to ID photos and personal information because the recording sits in their database and is shared among their partners.
