Create a job

  • Create a job in SAP, using a job template that contains the stage (status) “Alva Assessment”

  • After 5 minutes, the job will be created in Alva.

    • Note that only the jobs with an “Alva” stage will be created in Alva.

  • Visit Alva to complete the rest of the set-up process by; selecting a relevant Test Profile, selecting a relevant email template, and adjusting any other assessment-related settings.


Invite candidates

Move the candidates to the “Alva Assessment” stage and candidates will receive the assessment invite automatically via email.

Follow the steps below to do this.

  • Go to the candidate section in the job

  • Select the candidates you want to invite to Alva

  • From the “Actions” drop-down select “Move Candidates”

  • Then Select “Alva Assessment”

Note: we also recommend triggering/sending your own email notice to the candidate in advance of the Alva test invitation. This is critical in order for the candidate to expect, accept, and complete the Alva assessment. Feel free to contact our support who will be happy to help with relevant candidate messaging.

How to use multiple assessments 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

  1. Go to the Job position settings in Alva

  2. Click Add Assessment & select the assessment you require

  3. 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.
