Send or Resend Candidate Assessments

If an assessment is available for a job requisition, Dayforce displays the Send Assessment or Resend Assessment option in the Screen drop-down list in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions and in candidate profiles.

Note: Depending on configuration, the assessment options might not be enabled for internal candidates who applied through the Careers feature in Dayforce. See Internal Candidate Assessments.

The option to send or resend an assessment isn’t available for candidates with the following statuses:

  • Declined
  • Do not hire
  • Do not rehire
  • Hired

Note: For job requisitions that use candidate status mapping, the Send Assessment action might not be available until the candidate is in a certain status. You can see details of the requisition's candidate status mapping in Recruiting > Job Requisitions. For the Improved Recruiter Experience, click the link in the requisition's Candidate Status Mapping column. For the Classic Recruiter Experience, click the Candidate Status Mapping is Used indicator ().

To send or resend an assessment to a candidate:

  1. Go to Recruiting.
  2. In the Job Requisitions tab, open the job requisition that you want to send an assessment for.
  3. In the Candidates tab, do one of the following:
    • Select a candidate, and then click Screen > Send Assessment or Screen > Resend Assessment (depending on which option is displayed) in the toolstrip.
    • Click a candidate’s name to open their profile, and then click Screen Candidate > Send Assessment or Screen Candidate > Resend Assessment (depending on which option is displayed) in the left-side panel.
  4. When you click Send Assessment or Resend Assessment, Dayforce opens a dialog box with the assessment request email template.
  5. (Optional) Customize the contents of the assessment request email as needed.
  6. Click Send to send the email with the assessment link to the candidate.
