Finally, the "Values" tab allows you to create and manage your company values. This way, when your candidates take your values test, their adherence to your values will be calculated automatically using the scores you have set.
Create your first assessment
Let's get down to business! From your home page, hit the "Create" button to create a new assessment:
Start by setting up your assessment and defining:
The name of the assessment (usually the title of the job role)
The language of the assessment
The recruiter responsible for the assessment (the "owner")
The job families and sub-families
The type of role
Then choose one or more tests to make up your assessment. To help you find your way around, we have broken down our library of tests into five distinct categories:
Job-specific tests to assess professional skills (with sub-categories for each family of professions)
Transversal tests to assess professional skills likely to be relevant to several job families
Cognitive tests to assess cognitive skills (reasoning, concentration, perception, attention, memory, etc.)
Linguistic tests to assess language skills (written and listening capabilities)
Personality-traits tests to find out more about the personality of your candidates and possibly guide future interview questions.
👉 To find out more: Create an assessmentIf you wish, create one or more custom questions.
👉 To find out more: Add custom questions to my assessmentLast step, check your assessment, reorganize your activities and validate when you're satisfied.
Tips 💡
Here you can customise the home and thank you pages of your assessment: these changes will modify the default version set in your parameters.
You can add an administration question form to ask the filter questions needed to screen candidates (this questionnaire will be asked of candidates before the tests).
Congratulations, you've just created your first assessment! 🎉
Sharing your assessment with your candidates
If you have integration with your ATS, make sure you first link your assessment with the corresponding job offer.

There are several ways of inviting your candidates:
By email, by entering their email address or by completing an excel file in a CSV format, which will enable you to invite all your candidates at once.
Using a public link that you can copy and paste
By generating a QR code
💡 To test your assessment and put yourself in the shoes of your future candidates, start by taking the test yourself. You can also invite your colleagues to collect their feedback and get an idea of the expected scores for the different tests.
