Setting Up Assessment Integrations

This guide walks you through setting up an assessment integration on an interview plan. You learn how to add an assessment activity to a stage of an interview plan, configure reviewers, and start an assessment for a candidate. This article uses CodeSignal and Bryq as the example integrations, but the workflow is the same for all assessment partners.

Prerequisites:

You need an active integration with your assessment partner before you can configure the activities in Ashby.

Set up an assessment activity

The first step is to add an assessment to an interview plan. To do this, choose a job:

Go to Jobs > Jobs.

Select a job you would like to add an assessment to.

On the job page, choose Interview Plan on the left side.

This screenshot shows the pipeline for a job with the Interview Plan option highlighted in the navigation bar.

On the next screen, add your assessment as an activity to a stage of the interview plan. Click Add Activity To on the stage of the interview plan you want to create the activity for, then click + Add Activity.

Click Add Activity To to add an activity to your job's pipeline.

If you have any configured, your assessment integrations appear in the Integrations section in the Add Activity list.

Select an assessment integration, then choose the assessment type from the dropdown on the next screen. The list in the dropdown is pulled from your account with the assessment partner (for example, the list of available CodeSignal tests in your CodeSignal account).

Selecting your activity type from the list provided. Integrations you have configured will appear at the bottom of the list.

Once you select an assessment type, you can configure reviewers on the added activity.

Reviewers added here are notified to leave feedback on the assessment (just like a take home or scheduled interview) when Ashby is notified that the assessment is complete. Reviewers are not required.

The following page will allow you to set the assessment type and reviewers.

Start the assessment

Once a candidate moves to the stage of the interview plan where you added the assessment activity, a new Start Assessment button appears on the candidate's profile. Click it to open a modal, where you can adjust, one final time, the kind of assessment type (from the configured assessment partner) that the candidate takes.

Once you start the assessment, the assessment partner notifies the candidate, and Ashby displays updates in the dropdown. Here's what a completed assessment looks like:

Once the assessment has been completed, a link and the session details will show in the activity details.
