How assessments are sent
Workday drives the assessment process. When a candidate is assessed in Workday, Workday places an assessment order with Alva, Alva invites the candidate by email, and the result is written back to the candidate in Workday once they have finished.
đĄNote: Your Workday jobs and candidates are not mirrored into Alva. A job appears in Alva when the first assessment order for it arrives, and not before. A candidate you add directly in Alva has no Workday order attached, so that result cannot be sent back to Workday.
If the integration is not connected yet, start with Alva Labs and Workday Integration.
Inviting a candidate
Candidates are invited from Workday, not from Alva. Alva sends the invitation email as soon as the order arrives.
Komboâs guide covers the Workday steps â both assessing a single candidate and setting a job requisition up so that everyone reaching the assessment stage is invited automatically.
đĄNote: Send your own message to the candidate ahead of the Alva invitation. It matters for whether the candidate expects, accepts and completes the assessment. Our support team can help with the wording.
Which tests you can order, and how they are made available, is covered in Alva Labs and Workday Integration.
What comes back
When the candidate has finished, Alva sends Workday the status, a score out of 100 and a link to the full report.
Workday carries the headline result only. Following the link opens the report in Alva, where the profile comparison and the rest of the detail live â and where anything beyond the score has to be read.
Where the result appears in Workday depends on how your recruiting process is set up. Komboâs guide shows the views.
