Applicant Experience - IBM Assessment
Important: IBM has discontinued support of the IBM Kenexa Recruiting Assessment Integration. Existing customers can still use this integration, but it is no longer available to be enabled via the Edge Marketplace.
When IBM assessments are included in the application workflow, applicants can complete the assessment when filling out the application. The assessment appears as a step in the workflow. The name of the step is dependent upon how the step is named when configuring the application workflow template associated with the requisition.

Assign Integration Assessment |
This email is triggered when an Edge integration assessment is assigned to an applicant, such as a WOTC assessment. This email can be configured as a notification or a reminder, and it can be sent to External Applicant, Internal Applicant, OU Approver, Hiring Manager, OU Approver, or a specific user. This email only triggers when a successful response is received from the vendor. Note: The APPLICANT.INTEGRATION.ASSESSMENT.LINK tag must be included in the email. This tag provides a link that the applicant can click to access the assessment. Note about Auto-Assignment of Pre-Employment Verifications: This email also applies to auto-assignment of pre-employment verifications, via the Automated Candidate Progression (Early Adopter) functionality. For more information, see Feature Activation Preferences. |

Launch Assessment
The applicant clicks on the application workflow step or the assessment URL from the email that was sent when the assessment was assigned via the Manage Applicants page. This will register the applicant with IBM and open the assessment that is associated with the job requisition.
The assessment opens in a new tab or browser. Upon the candidate completing the assessment, IBM processes the results and sends an update to Cornerstone.
