How to send Alva tests and choose test profile in Workable

1. Configuring Alva Assessment in Workable

Step 1: To send tests through Workable, first create a job. Click "create a new job" (1). If you already have an existing position click on "More Actions" and then "Edit job" (2).

Step 2: First you need to navigate to the Workflow tab (1). Second, choose which stage in your pipeline where you want to introduce tests to you candidates (2). After this press "Add an assessment test" (3). You can only add tests to the "Phone Screen" or "Interview" stage.

Step 3: Click the Alva option (1). If it does not appear, click the "There are also X additional assessment providers" dropdown (2), then find and select Alva.

Step 4: Choose which test profile your candidates will be evaluated through (1), then click "Save changes" (2).

šŸ’” Note: The same tests are sent to all candidates. The option to change test profile only changes how the results are interpreted - see Alva's Default Test Profiles.

Now that you have configured the Alva tests in a stage in your pipeline and chosen a test profile, the next step is to send out the tests to candidates.

2. Sending the Alva Tests

Go to the stage that contains the Alva assessment (1) (in this case, "Phone Screen"). Next go to a candidate in the stage (2) and click the send test button (3) and then "Confirm".

šŸ’” Note: Right now Workable does not support bulk actions (sending multiple tests with one action).


How to View Results in Workable

Step 1: Click on the stage in which the tests have been configured (in this case phone screen) (1). Next click on a candidate that has completed the tests (2). The test results will be displayed as shown in the picture (Underlined with red).

šŸ’” Note: Only psychometric test results will be reflected. Role fit will not change based on other assessments such as interview..etc in Workable.
The results in Workable are locked once the candidate submitted the results. Therefore if you subsequently change the personality profile in Alva, the changes to the Role fit will not get updated in Workable.
