1. Add Alva’s Stage to a Job Interview Plan

Once the Greenhouse - Alva integration is enabled for your organization, you can add Alva assessments as a stage in your interview process.

1. Open the Job Setup Page
In Greenhouse, go to All Jobs → [Job Name], then click Job Setup from the top navigation bar.

2. Add a New Stage
From the Job Setup page, select Interview Plan in the left-hand panel.
Scroll down and click + Add a Stage.

In the dialog box that appears, choose Alva from the list of available stages, then click Add to include it in the job’s interview plan.

3. Configure the Alva Stage
Once the Alva stage has been added, click Edit Interviews.
From the drop-down menu, choose which assessments to include - these are assessments you’ve already set up in Alva.
Assign at least one Greenhouse user to review submitted results, then click Save.


3. Send Tests to Candidates

When a candidate is moved into the Alva stage, a Send Test link will appear.

  1. Click Send Test to trigger the invitation.

  2. Alva will send the candidate an email with test instructions.

  3. You can monitor the test’s status in both Greenhouse and Alva.

💡Note: Even though the test is sent from Greenhouse, the email comes directly from Alva, so the candidate experience remains consistent with other Alva invitations.


4. Review Test Status and Results

  • The candidate’s test status will update automatically in Greenhouse once the invitation is sent and completed.

  • After a candidate submits their test, open the Interview Kit to view a link to the detailed results in Alva.

  • You can also log in to Alva directly to explore full reports and insights on performance and fit.
