Use Cases

  • James is Acme Company's administrator and has been tasked with enabling the Work Opportunity Tax Credit integration between Cornerstone and First Advantage. This will allow Acme to include the Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey in their application process and enable First Advantage to manage the submission process.
  • James goes to the Edge Marketplace to purchase and activate the First Advantage Work Opportunity Tax Credit integration.
  • From the Edge Integrate page, James enters Acme's Company ID, which is provided by their First Advantage project team.
  • Acme's Cornerstone portal now has an active Work Opportunity Tax Credit integration between Cornerstone and First Advantage.
  • Allan is the Recruiting administrator for Acme.
  • With the integration enabled, Allan is tasked with including a Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey in all of Acme's Customer Support requisitions.
  • Allan creates a new custom application workflow template that includes a Work Opportunity Tax Credit action step, ensuring that First Advantage Work Opportunity Tax Credit is added as a custom integration.
  • Allan configures all Customer Support requisitions to include the custom application workflow template, which includes a Work Opportunity Tax Credit action step.
  • Applicants applying to the Customer Support requisition are now prompted to complete a First Advantage Work Opportunity Tax Credit 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 Work Opportunity Tax Credit eligible candidate.
  • Lisa goes to the Manage Applicants page for the Customer Support requisition and identifies four potential candidates to assign a Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey to, making sure that all candidates' statuses are assigned to the custom status First Advantage Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
  • While the same candidates are selected, Maria selects the Assign Integration Assessment option from the Actions drop-down. She proceeds with the assignment and clicks Submit.
  • The applicants will receive an email with a link that will redirect them to complete the First Advantage Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey. Note: The Assign Integration Assessment email trigger email will need to be successfully configured by the administrator in Email Administration in order for the applicant to receive the email.
  • After the applicants complete the survey, First Advantage sends Cornerstone a summary of the candidate’s results, which are available for viewing on the Manage Applicants page or the Application tab on the Applicant Profile page.
  • To further review the assessment results, Lisa clicks the View Report link, which will direct her to First Advantage to view a detailed report of the assessment results.

Implementation

This integration is available for all organizations using the Recruiting suite. 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.

The integration can be accessed and configured via the Edge Marketplace. In order to use this integration, your organization must be using the Recruiting module and must have access to Edge and have an account with the integration vendor. There is no additional cost associated with enabling this integration, but the integration cannot be used without an account with the integration vendor.

Considerations

  • Mobile App - This functionality is not available in the mobile app. If the survey is included in a step of the application workflow, the step will be skipped in the mobile app.
  • Retroactive Application - Work Opportunity Tax Credit surveys cannot be retroactively applied to requisitions prior to enabling of the integration, even though these requisitions are in open/active status.
  • With this integration, First Advantage will collect the candidate’s Social Security Number at the time the candidate is completing the Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey.

Best Practices for Using WOTC Surveys

  • Where to Place in Application Workflow - Display WOTC between an Education Experience section and a section such as Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Questions.
