Use Greenhouse Recruiting / Workvisa.io Integration
Now that you have set up the integration, you can move forward with requesting an assessment for any candidates who indicate they need immigration sponsorship.
Step 1: Confirm the Candidate Requires Immigration Sponsorship
When the candidate indicates that they now or will in the future require immigration sponsorship, make sure to indicate this under the Details tab in their candidate profile by selecting Yes in the custom candidate field Requires Immigration Sponsorship, as indicated below.
Note: If you select No or leave the custom field indicated above blank, you will receive an error message and email notification indicating that you will not be able to send the Pre-Hire Immigration Questionnaire to the candidate.
Step 2: Initiate the Immigration Assessment Request
When you are ready to request an immigration assessment, move the candidate to the Pre-Hire Immigration Assessment stage. Once the candidate is moved to the Pre-Hire Immigration Assessment stage, click Send Test to send the Workvisa.io questionnaire to the candidate.
The questionnaire will be emailed to the candidate, copying a primary contact and the assigned recruiter in Greenhouse.
Step 3: Receive the Immigration Assessment
The assessment will be issued based on the completed questionnaire, the candidate’s resume/CV, and the details of the offered position harvested from Greenhouse. The recruiter will then receive an email with the assessment.
