Assessment

You use assessments to assess and measure the knowledge, skills, abilities, and attributes of candidates for a job.

When you create a job requisition, you add assessments in the Screening Services section. You can add one or more assessment screening packages. After you select the assessment partner and user account, you need to decide if candidates take the assessment when applying for a job, or during the candidate selection process, or both.

• For assessments during the job application, select the assessments for the internal job application flow, the external flow, or both. A link is displayed in the candidate self-service and candidates can take the assessment right after submitting their job application. If your administrator enabled inline assessments, candidates fill the assessment before they submit their job application. When recruiters create job applications on behalf of candidates, application flow level assessments aren't automatically triggered. If the candidate must fill such assessment, the recruiter must manually trigger it. The partner will receive the request. If the candidate must take the assessment after the application flow, the candidate will see a link to take the assessment in the candidate self-service.

• For assessments during the selection process, select the phase and state when the assessment request is sent to candidates, then select the assessments. When a job application is at the phase and state selected, the assessment partner's service is called to initiate one or multiple assessments, based on its configuration. The partner validates the user requesting the screening service and retrieves candidate and job requisition information. After the partner receives all the information, the status of the assessment is set to "Started". The partner then sends an email to the candidates with a link to take the assessments. The partner updates the status to "In progress" when the candidates start the assessment process. After the candidates complete all the assessments, the partner updates the status to Completed, Completed - Fail, Completed - Pass, Completed - To be Verified and the overall assessment results are available in the candidate job applications.

Note: Partners aren't aware of job application status changes after they receive a request. As a result, it's possible for candidates to take an assessment regardless of the job application status. Partners can also update the assessment results regardless of the job application status.

You can view the status of the assessment and assessment results in the Screening section of the candidate job application. You can also go to the partner's site to view additional details about a candidate's assessment results. When the assessment is complete, candidates are ready to be moved to the next step in the recruiting process.

You can use these assessment filters when you view candidate search results, members of a candidate pool, prospects for a job requisition, and job applications:

• Assessment Package

• Assessment Status

• Assessment Score
