Configure Triggers on Job positions in Teamtailor
In Teamtailor, stage triggers are used to send out tests to candidates. Whenever a candidate is placed in a stage any corresponding triggers will activate and send out assessments. Follow along in these steps to add a trigger to a job position:
Head over to one of your jobs on Teamtailor. From the applications view, you should click on "Triggers"
2. Select the stage that you want users to receive the assessments. Candidates that are moved in to this stage will get the invite for the selected assessments. You can either use the assessments on the Inbox, so all candidates are automatically sent the assessments, or a special stage that you move candidates to.
3. Choose the "Send Alva Labs assessments" on add Trigger.
From here, you can select which assessments to send out in this specific stage by clicking on the respective checkbox. If you select either a Personality test, Coding test or Interview, you will see additional options for which test or Personality profile respectively to use.
Only the assessments that you choose here will be activated in this stage. Meaning that if you only choose a coding test, no other assessments will be sent out. For Interviews, no invitations are actually sent to the candidate, read more about how Interview work below.
Note that if you do not select a Personality profile from this stage, your organisations default profile will be used.
Lastly, press the "Add Trigger" Button. If you want to automatically move candidates between stages based on their results, tick the check-box "Move candidate when complete" and follow the instructions.
