TestTrick is a skills-based candidate assessment platform that helps organizations evaluate candidates through online assessments, technical tests, psychometric assessments, and other candidate evaluation tools.

The TestTrick integration with Greenhouse Recruiting allows recruiters to configure TestTrick assessments in Greenhouse and send those assessments to candidates directly from their Greenhouse application. Candidates receive the assessment invitation from TestTrick and complete their assessment on the TestTrick platform. Once the assessment is completed, Greenhouse can retrieve the candidate's assessment status, score, and result information through the TestTrick Assessment API.

Note: The API key is tied to your TestTrick account. Keep it secure and do not share it publicly.

Enable the integration from Greenhouse

After retrieving the API key, click here to open a ticket with Greenhouse Support.

Note: The assessment email will not be sent unless you click the Send Test button. Simply moving the candidate to the stage is not enough.

TestTrick will send an invitation email to the candidate with a link to begin their assessment.

Candidate receives the assessment

After the assessment is successfully created, TestTrick sends an assessment invitation to the candidate's email address.

The email contains a unique link that allows the candidate to access and complete the assigned assessment.

Example TestTrick assessment invitation email

Candidate completes the assessment

The candidate opens the assessment invitation and completes the assessment on the TestTrick platform. After the candidate successfully completes the assessment, TestTrick records the completion status and calculates the assessment result.

Assessment completion and results

Once the candidate completes the assessment, TestTrick notifies Greenhouse that the assessment has been completed.

Greenhouse then requests the latest assessment status from TestTrick.

TestTrick returns the assessment status and, when available, the candidate's assessment score and result URL.

The returned information can include:

  • Assessment status
  • Assessment score
  • TestTrick candidate result/profile URL
  • Additional assessment metadata

Greenhouse can then display the assessment result to the Greenhouse user.
