Send and Review CodeSignal Test From Greenhouse Recruiting
When candidates are moved into the CodeSignal interview stage, Greenhouse will display a Send Test link.
Note: When you send a test from Greenhouse Recruiting, the interview instructions are actually sent by CodeSignal.
Select the certification assessment or test that you want to send, as well as the name of the person who should evaluate the test. The candidate's email address will be auto-populated.
The status of the assessment will be viewable in Greenhouse Recruiting (e.g. Sent).
Note: Greenhouse Recruiting updates test scores once every hour, so there may be a small delay between a candidate's completion of a test and the recording of his/her score in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Once the test is completed, the candidate's score will be recorded in the CodeSignal Test stage, and the grader will be notified via email to review the candidate's result and complete a scorecard in Greenhouse.
Once the grader has completed their scorecard, their overall recommendation for the candidate will also be displayed along with the candidate's score in the CodeSignal Test stage on the candidate's profile in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Click CodeSignal Test within this stage to view a summary of the candidate's scores per task in the test.
When viewing the summary of results, click View Report to view the candidate's results (including coding replays) in detail on CodeSignal.
