This article answers the most frequently asked questions about the CAPTCHA on career page application forms in Personio. The CAPTCHA helps protect your career page from spam and bot applications.

Why do some candidates see a CAPTCHA when applying?

The check runs in the background. If the check suspects that a candidate is a bot, the candidate needs to solve a picture CAPTCHA before submitting the application. Most candidates don't see it.

Will the CAPTCHA stop all spam applications?

No. The CAPTCHA isn't 100% reliable. It helps reduce spam, but some spam can still get through. If you still receive spam applications, contact Support through Support in the sidebar of your Personio account.

Can I turn the CAPTCHA on or off myself?

Not at the moment. There's no self-service setting for the CAPTCHA.

Does the CAPTCHA also work if my career page is embedded on our own website?

Yes. The CAPTCHA applies to the application form, including when you embed the career page on your own website.
