How and Why to Convert Hired Candidates into Employees
When a candidate you've hired is ready to join your organization, you can easily create an employee account in Alva that uses their work email and retains their test results from the hiring process. This allows you to seamlessly onboard new employees into Alva, ensuring they can access insights, use Single Sign-On (SSO) with their company email and have their test results available for team development and Team Insights.
Step 1: Change the Candidate Stage to Hired
Before creating an employee account, ensure the candidate’s status is updated to Hired.
Go to the candidate list for your job position.
Tick the checkbox next to the candidate you want to update.
Click Change stage (top right).
Select Hired from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Create an Employee Account from the Candidate
Go to Settings in the bottom left corner of your Alva account.
Navigate to the Employees tab.
Click Create employee from candidate.
Select the candidate from the list.
Fill in the required information:
Work email (this will be their new login)
Location
Team
Access group
Click Create.
This will create a new employee account connected to your organization, copying over the candidate’s test results while leaving their original candidate account untouched.
Note: Adding a team is optional but recommended if you use Team Insights. It helps you make the most of team-based tools! 🚀
