How to use multiple assessment types using a Kombo Integration
You can manage not only psychometric tests, but also coding test and interviews through your ATS. Prerequisite is to create a stage in your ATS for each of the assessments.
We recommend creating following stages:
For psychometrics tests: “Alva Assessment”
For coding tests: “Alva coding test”
For interviews: “Alva Interview”
(Note: If you have multiple interviews, then create a separate stage for each interview)
How to invite your candidates using the ATS.
Step 1: One time setup of the job settings in Alva
Go to the Job position settings in Alva
Click Add Assessment & select the assessment you require
Select a Stage from your ATS & link that stage to an Alva assessment
Step 2: Send candidate invitations
You send candidate invitations simply move the candidate to the relevant stage.
If you move a candidate to the relevant stage for coding tests, the candidate will receive a email invitation for the coding test.
If you move a candidate to an interview stage, you will see a “interview link” in the candidate’s results section. Which will lead directly to the Interview page in Alva.
Results of all these assessments will come to the results section, where you see the psychometric test results currently.
