Starting the HackerRank Test from Ashby
You can start the assessment by clicking Start Assessment.
An email is sent to the candidate's account.
To begin, the candidate needs to click Start Test. They will then be redirected to the HackerRank platform login page.
After a candidate completes the test, the test status is updated on HackerRank.
The recruiter can view the candidate's assessment reports on HackerRank.
Review Candidate's Test Scores in Ashby
Once the candidate completes the assessment, HackerRank sends their HackerRank test scores to Ashby.
At this stage, HackerRank checks the answers submitted by the candidate, checks for plagiarism, and prepares reports.
Once the report is prepared, it will be published back to Ashby.
The Status column of the Assessment line item gets updated as one of the following values to match values with HackerRank:
HackerRank Completed - Evaluation Required
HackerRank Completed - Qualified
HackerRank Completed - Failed
Note: For a particular coding challenge in HackerRank, if the cut-off score is set, and if a candidate crosses the cut-off value, their status gets updated to HackerRank Completed - Qualified in Ashby. Similarly, if candidates fail to cross the cut-off, their assessment status gets updated to HackerRank Completed - Failed. For all the other cases where the hiring manager’s evaluation is required, the status gets updated to HackerRank Completed - Evaluation Required.
Recruiters can click on the Report URL from Ashby and access the candidate’s report hosted on HackerRank.
