Overview

HackerRank Tests integrate with Jobvite to trigger HackerRank Test invites directly from Jobvite. Recruiters managing candidate profiles in Jobvite can use this integration to carry out a seamless and efficient candidate skills assessment for different requisitions without leaving their Jobvite account. Candidates receive HackerRank Test invites directly from Jobvite, and after they complete the test, their scores and performance data are automatically available for evaluation in their Jobvite profile.

This article describes the configuration steps required for integrating  HackerRank with Jobvite.

Prerequisites

HackerRank
 Jobvite
  • You must own an Enterprise plan with a Recruiter license.
  • You must log in as a Company Admin user.
  • Log in using the same Company Admin user credentials to create and publish HackerRank Tests, which must be accessible by Jobvite.
  • You must have a user account.
  • You must have relevant permissions to edit Requisitions and candidate details in JobVite.

The integration involves a two-step process, after which you must verify whether the HackerRank assessment-related custom fields are available in Jobvite.

  6. Click Save. The integration is now complete.

Configuring the HackerRank Test ID in Jobvite

In Jobvite, the integration creates HackerRank assessments-related workflow steps in the Candidate object and adds custom fields in the Candidate and Requisition objects.

To validate the HackerRank workflows in Jobvite:

  1. In the Candidate object, click on the Workflows drop-down list and verify that the HackerRank Assessment workflows are available. There are three workflows:
    • HackerRank Assessment: This assessment workflow indicates the HackerRank Test status sent to the candidate.
    • HackerRank Assessment Completed: This assessment workflow indicates the HackerRank Test completion status of the candidate.
    • HackerRank Assessment Error: This assessment workflow indicates that the test could not be completed by the candidate due to some technical glitches.

HackerRank Test Score The score obtained by the candidate for that particular test
