To manually send an invitation AssessFirst to your candidate, move the stage of the candidate AssessFirst, then he will receive an invitation.

Adequacy report, adequacy scores, affinity score, and A-Player scores are generated only when the three assessments have been completed by the candidate.

Locate AssessFirst results in Greenhouse Recruiting

AssessFirst reports and scores are located on the Applications tab in the candidate's profile.

You can access the 4 reports (PDF format) and the scores in the "Application Custom Fields" part (bottom of the page).
