reCAPTCHA functionality

reCAPTCHA is available in Recruitment Marketing as part of a call-to-action/application form verification tool, which is a great tool to stop or slow down bot activity. However, it also has quite a few downfalls. At the moment, the version/config used asks you to find the images related to the word, which in itself is a very frustrating challenge to have to go through, but working on a corporate VPN causes a high rate of failure - as of late, I was unable to pass it multiple times after many attempts and challenge cycles.

I don't know if image fallbacks is only part of an old version (e.g. V1), or is in all versions, but allowing the ability to customise settings or challenge fallbacks would be required before we could utilise reCAPTCHA effectively without major impact to candidate experience.

The preferable solution would be to test the invisible check to see if it stops bot activity, and if not, then testing further difficulty such as the checkbox, etc.

What is the business process you are trying to achieve?

Stop or slow bot activity without impacting candidate experience. Candidates - both internal & external, especially if they're on a device with corporate VPN
