Taleo Integration Configuration Steps
- To enable the integration in Taleo ATS, access the screening service list in the configurations. Select the Harver Assessment Service
-
The service requires;
-
ClientId which is Harver accountId
-
Username
-
Password
Copy the username and password from Harver Integrations Credentials section.
-
-
The customer can view the Result fields that are available via the Result Fields section. These fields are used to display result data that is returned by Harver. E.g.
-
Additional Result 1..6 can be filled based KMI configuration
-
DetailsUrl is link to PDF report or Candidate detail page Score is Overall Matching score and can be combined with Band (“70 (Green)”)
-
-
Configure the Service implement model i.e.
-
Mixed - allowing the recruiter to set whether the assessment request should be handled as candidate-centric or recruiter-centric at the requisition level
-
Or can be set at service level and all assessment requests will be handled as specified i.e.
-
candidate-centric - The candidate gets redirected to Harver during the application process: This can be a redirect (called 'inline') or in a popup
-
recruiter-centric - Assessment stages: the candidate gets an email invite after recruiter sets a candidate in certain phase
-
-
- The Harver Assessment integration can be set to display the Assessment in either a “pop-up” window or “inline” (within the same browser window as the candidate’s application). This is set up in the Screening block of the Application Flow. Note that this setting only affects Assessment that are set up as Candidate-Centric.
- When creating a Requisition, the customer recruiter needs to associate that requisition with the Harver Assessment and (optionally) choose the Requisition Implementation Model (if the Service Implementation Model is set to “Mixed”). If the Service Implementation Model is set to a value other than “Mixed”, then the Requisition Implementation Model should be left un-selected as it will be ignored when processing requests.
- Note: The list of valid Harver Assessment Solution is maintained in the Harver-AssessmentId in the Configuration portion of the Taleo application. The client and Harver must jointly define the values for this selection list.
Now all configuration is completed and stage is added which will trigger the integration with Harver when a candidate falls in this stage.
Inviting Candidate: Candidate-Centric flow
OPTION 1: Career Section Application Flow
- In this scenario, the candidate takes the Assessment directly on the career section while completing his application. When clicked on the screening assessment the candidate is redirected to Harver.
-
Once the candidate has finished the Assessment, they will return to fully submit their application.
OPTION 2: Manual Request by Recruiter
- The recruiter manually requests the Harver Assessment service for a candidate. An email is sent to the candidate from Taleo with an embedded screening link.
- Request is now in Sent to Candidate status as the email has been sent to the candidate, there will be no Provider status as candidate has not yet clicked to generate assessment.
- By clicking the link, the candidate is prompted to authenticate in Taleo. If authentication is successful, the assessment request is sent to Harver.
- Harver sends Taleo acknowledgement containing the redirect URI to the Assessment which Taleo will present popup to the candidate to take the Assessment.
- Harver will send status update to Taleo with an order status of Acknowledged by Provider. Provider Reference Number data will also be populated. Since the candidate has not yet taken the Assessment, no result field data is available.
Inviting Candidate: Recruiter-Centric flow
- The recruiter manually requests the Harver Assessment service for a candidate application to a requisition that has already been associated with a Harver position.
- A pop-up window of the Harver system is presented to the user displaying next steps they need to take to get the assessment completed by candidate. They will also send email with those Instructions and Link to recruiter email address on requisition. Partner set the status of request to “Acknowledged by Provider”. If request is Auto triggered, this pop-up is not opened.
Candidate progress & results
- When the candidate complete the Assessments, the overall status is set to Completed by Harver and results are posted back to Taleo.
- The user can click on the More details to get the full Harver assessment report for the candidate. Note that the “More Details” link will only be visible if the request status is “Completed”.
