Canditech’s Embedded ChatGPT and Google Search tools allow you to evaluate how candidates approach real-world challenges by giving them access to AI and search tools, directly within the assessment. These features offer insight into candidates’ research and problem-solving processes, with all interactions recorded for review.
Embedded ChatGPT
Embedded ChatGPT allows candidates to use ChatGPT directly within the assessment, without leaving the test page. This feature is designed to help you evaluate not only candidates’ final answers but also how they approach solving problems with AI assistance, a skill that is increasingly important in many roles.
When enabled:
Candidates can open and use ChatGPT inside the assessment interface.
All their prompts and ChatGPT’s responses are recorded and included in the candidate’s result page.
Users can review these transcripts to better understand candidates’ research methods, critical thinking, and prompt-crafting ability.
Note: Embedded ChatGPT is available on Enterprise plans. If you're interested in enabling it for your account, please contact our team.
Example use cases:
Evaluating how candidates solve open-ended questions with AI help

When enabled:
Candidates see an embedded Google Search bar in the assessment.
All search queries and clicked links are automatically recorded.
Users can review this activity in the candidate’s result page to understand their research strategy and reasoning process.

Candidate Experience During Assessments
When these features are enabled, candidates see a clear, dedicated interface inside the assessment for either ChatGPT or Google Search.
Embedded ChatGPT: Candidates have access to an integrated ChatGPT panel that they can open and use to generate responses. Before starting an assessment, they are informed that their prompts and ChatGPT’s responses will be recorded and shared with the hiring team.
Embedded Google Search: Candidates see a Google Search bar embedded directly in the assessment. Before starting an assessment, they are notified that their searches and clicked links will be recorded for review.
Reviewing Candidate Search Insights
If Embedded ChatGPT or Google Search was enabled for the assessment, you'll see a Candidate Search Insights section in the candidate’s results page. This includes a full record of their activity using the embedded tools.
ChatGPT Insights
In this section, you can view the exact prompts the candidate submitted to ChatGPT, along with the responses generated by the AI.
Google Search Insights
This section shows a detailed log of the candidate’s search activity during the assessment. For each search, you’ll see the section of the assessment where the search took place, how long into the assessment the candidate opened the search bar, the exact search term they entered, and how long they used the search feature.
