Hello,

 

We activated the integration “AssessFirst” on the Talentlink marketplace. 

To start using it, a few actions are necessary from your side:

1/ We added a step “AssessFirst” in our hiring steps, can you link it to the External system “AssessFirst” created by this integration?

2/ We created a form called “AssessFirst scores”, can you link this form to the feedback form of this step?

3/ We created a queue named “AssessFirstQueue”, so the integration can retrieve the necessary information for the integration. Can you add the following fields to this queue:

  • Email of the candidate → candidate_email_address
  • First name of the candidate → candidate_first_name
  • Last name of the candidate → candidate_last_name
  • Email of the recruiter of the job in which the application is → requestor_email
  • Value of the ID of the LOV entry of the field "AssessFirst predictive model" of the job req → predictive_model_id

 

Best regards
