Assessments

Overview

Manage candidates and assessment assignments from your own product.

The assessments surface is separate from Certifications - it lets you manage candidates and assign them to your organisation's existing interview assessments, rather than sending a standardised skill certification.

Each operation requires its own scope (see Authentication):

Typical flow

  1. Search or create a candidate.
  2. Search for the assessment you want to assign them to.
  3. Assign the candidate - Scout Select creates a session, emails an interview link, and returns it to you directly too.
  4. Check report status to know when the interview is done and a report is ready.
