Add Workvisa.io stage to the job's interview plan
Once the Greenhouse Recruiting / Workvisa.io integration is enabled for your organization, you're able to add the Workvisa.io assessment as an Interview stage.
Follow the steps in this article to add the Pre-Hire Immigration Assessment (Workvisa.io) stage to your job's interview plan.
Configure the custom candidate field
Follow the steps in this article to create a custom candidate field using the following information:
- Field Name: Requires Immigration Sponsorship
- Type: Yes/No
Your newly created field will now be part of your company’s library of candidate fields, and will be shown under the Details tab of a candidate’s profile.
Use the Workvisa.io integration with Greenhouse Recruiting
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 one: 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 of their candidate profile. (Click pencil icon > Select Yes in the custom candidate field Requires Immigration Sponsorship, as indicated below)
Step two: 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 three: 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.
