8. Click the Save and Exit button in the top right corner of the page to update your hiring process.

Edit

This will add the additional external assessment to the Assessment step of your hiring process.

Unlike scores on CareerPlug's Math/Verbal and Personality Assessment, scores on this external assessment will not be imported to CareerPlug. You will need to log into the external assessment to view the results.

If you would like to use only your external assessment, then de-select the Personality and Math/Verbal Aptitude assessments in the "Select Hiring Tools" area of your Assessment step (when editing your hiring process). Also ensure that these assessments are de-selected on each job that you post.

If you would like to use both your external assessment and our Personality and/or Math/Verbal Aptitude assessments, ensure the latter assessments are enabled in the "Select Hiring Tools" area when editing your Assessment hiring process step. In addition, select the applicable CareerPlug assessments on each job you post.

When you click Invite on the Assessment step to invite an applicant to take assessment(s), they get an emailed link that directs them to a page with a list of the assessments that are available on the hiring process step and selected on the job to which they applied. If you use an external assessment only, the applicant will be directed there. If you use the CareerPlug assessments as well as your own external assessment, the applicant will be directed to complete all of the applicable assessments.
