You must be an Organization Admin to configure this integration.
The CoderPad Screen integration and CoderPad API keys are available only to users with Custom/Enterprise CoderPad accounts. If you are enabling both CoderPad Interview and CoderPad Screen, you need to create separate API keys for each integration.
Connecting the integration
To get started, follow CoderPad's Ashby for Screen guide to connect the integration in CoderPad.
In Ashby:
- Navigate to Admin > Integrations and search for CoderPad Screen.
- Select the + Enable CoderPad Screen button.
- Enter your CoderPade Screen API Key. See CoderPad's API key access article.
- Create your CoderPad Screen API key in Ashby by typing the name of the CoderPad Screen key in the Ashby API Key menu and selecting Create new API key. See How do I generate an API key? to learn more.
Copy the API key and store it in a secure place. You need this to complete the integration setup in CoderPad.
If you are using both CoderPad Screen and CoderPad Interview, you need to generate separate API keys for each integration. CoderPad also recommends setting up an account specifically to use for integrations to ensure API keys stay active.
- Adjust the API endpoint permissions by clicking the View API key settings button.
- Below are the suggested minimum scopes:
- Candidate Write
Return to CoderPad to complete the setup.
Using the integration
This section walks you through adding an assessment step for a candidate. You can either schedule a one-off test or add a test as part of a workflow.
The email sent to the candidate notifying them of their test comes directly from CoderPad Screen. You can customize the email content by editing the Screen test Communication settings in your dashboard in CoderPad.
Sending a one-off test
- Find the candidate you would like to send the assessment to via a Candidate Search or from a job's candidate pipeline.
- On the candidate profile, click + New Activity, then click Assessment.
- Select CoderPad Screen from the Add Assessment Activity window.
- Click the Assessment Type dropdown and select one of the tests.
- Once you select the assessment type, click Add Activity.
- Back on the candidate dashboard, click Start Assessment, which sends the test to the candidate. You can also cancel/delete the assessment here if needed.
When you cancel an assessment in Ashby, it moves the assessment back to Ready to start on the candidate profile. When you cancel from inside CoderPad Screen, the assessment is marked as canceled, and you need to add another assessment if you need to modify and resend it.
Adding a test to a workflow
You can configure an assessment to send automatically to every candidate when you move them to a specific interview stage for a particular job. This is configured in the Interview Plans tab under the job. For more information, see Automated ActivitiesAutomated Activities.
Reviewing test status and results
Once the candidate starts the assessment, the status updates with the date they started taking the test. The status also updates when the candidate completes the test.
Click on the assessment to expand it and see the results, including the total score, the comparative score, and a link to the detailed report.
