Use Cases

- James is Acme Company's administrator and has been tasked with enabling the WOTC integration between Cornerstone and ADP. This will allow Acme to include the WOTC survey in their application process and enable ADP to manage the submission process.
- James goes to the Edge Marketplace to purchase and activate the ADP WOTC integration. James will also work with his ADP project team to configure Acme's ADP system.
- From the Edge Integrate page, James enters Acme's Client ID, Client Secret, Company Code, and Authentication Code, which is provided by their ADP project team.
- Acme's Cornerstone portal now has an active WOTC integration between Cornerstone and ADP.

- Allan is the Recruiting administrator for Acme.
- With the integration enabled, Allan is tasked with including a WOTC survey in all of Acme's Customer Support requisitions.
- Allan creates a new custom application workflow template that includes a WOTC action step, ensuring that ADP WOTC is added as a custom integration.
- Allan configures all Customer Support requisitions to include the custom application workflow template, which includes a WOTC action step.
- Applicants applying to the Customer Support requisition are now prompted to complete an ADP WOTC survey as part of their application process.

- Lisa, a hiring manager at Acme, is looking to add two new members to her Customer Support team.
- To help reduce the company's income tax liability, Lisa would like to consider hiring a WOTC eligible candidate.
- Lisa goes to the Manage Applicants page for the Customer Support requisition and identifies four potential candidates to assign a WOTC survey to, making sure that all candidates' statuses are assigned to the custom status ADP WOTC.
- While the same candidates are selected, Lisa selects the Assign Integration Assessment option from the Actions drop-down. She proceeds with the assignment and clicks .
- The applicants will receive an email with a link that will redirect them to complete the ADP WOTC survey. Note: The Assign Integration Assessment email will need to be successfully configured by the administrator in Email Administration in order for the applicant to receive the email.
- Cornerstone runs a batch update to update the candidate's assessment status.
- Lisa can check either the Manage Applicants page or the Applicant Profile page for updates on the applicant's potential eligibility status.

- Annie the Candidate has accepted Acme's employment offer.
- Lisa updates Annie's status to "Hired," which triggers Cornerstone to send the offer information to ADP.
- Lisa can view updated eligibility information on Annie's Applicant Profile page or the Manage Applicants page. Lisa can also print relevant ADP forms by clicking the View Report link on the Manage Applicants page or the applicable status panel on the Applicant Profile > Statuses tab.
Implementation
This integration is available for all organizations using Recruiting. This integration is available for free via Edge Marketplace. Additional instructions for enabling and configuring the integration are available on the Setup tab of the integration in Edge.
Considerations
- Retroactive Application - WOTC surveys cannot be retroactively applied to requisitions prior to enabling of the integration, even though these requisitions are in open/active status.
- Social Security Number - With this integration, ADP will collect the candidate’s Social Security Number at the time the candidate is completing the WOTC survey.
- Application Workflow Set-Up - ADP WOTC surveys cannot be a required step in the application workflow.
Best Practices for Using WOTC Surveys
As a best practice, display the WOTC survey between an Education Experience section and a section such as EEO Questions.
