Review Candidate's Test Scores in iCIMS

 Once the candidate completes the assessment, HackerRank sends their HackerRank test scores to iCIMS.

  • At this stage, HackerRank checks the answers submitted by the candidate, checks for plagiarism, and prepares reports.
  • Once the report is prepared, the same is published back to iCIMS.

To view the result on iCIMS Prime Assessments:

  1. Navigate to the Screen tab on the Additional Info page.
  2. Click Prime Assessments.
  3. The details of the Assessment sent to the candidate are displayed. Select the Show Custom Ranges option to view the HackerRank-specific status of the test taken by the candidate.
  4. You can view the Detailed report of the candidate, the score of the candidate in percentage, and the status of the assessment sent.

Assessing the Status Values for Assessments

The status of the Test taken by the candidate is displayed on the Screen > Additional Info of the Candidate.  

Note: Any other status except Pass and Fail will appear as To Evaluate on iCIMS.

For example, in the above scenario, the candidate has passed a test, and the score is displayed in percentage. The score for the individual questions in the test are also displayed in percentage. If a question is not attempted, it is displayed as Not Attempted.

Different HackerRank Status in iCIMS

  • Failed - The candidate has taken the Test but has not passed the cut-off score.
  • Pass- The candidate has taken the Test and passed the Test.
  • To Evaluate

The candidate has taken the Test, but the Interviewer needs to evaluate and update the status in HackerRank. 

OR

The Test contains questions that need manual evaluation.

  • Assessment Not sent- This status appears if the Recruiter on the job profile does not have a HackerRank license, and hence the test invite is not successful.
  • Invited- A Test invite is sent, but the candidate has not yet taken the Test.
