Once the skillsets are ready

After your assessments have been created, it's time to add the candidates.

Add recipients one of two ways:

  1. Type in names and email addresses one by one and click "Add candidate."
  2. Import a CSV to add candidates in bulk. Be sure to follow the provided template.
  3. From here, you can edit the deadline and if any candidates will need an extended time limit.

Enter the candidate's email correctly so they can successfully redeem the invitation. This step is necessary for them to be able to access the assessment unless you set it to be an open invite assessment.

 

Sending Assessments

  1. When you are ready to send out the assessments, click on the "Skill analyses" tab from the top-right dropdown menu.
  2. Select the assessment you want to send out from the list.

  3. You will see a list of candidates. There are two ways you can send the assessment out.
    1. You can provide the link (https://upskill.quanthub.com/start) to redeem the invitation code to participants
    2. You also have the option to send the skill analysis via the grey airplane icon. This will send an identical email to the recipient prompting them to begin the assessment.SA KBA

After candidates visit the assessment link (https://upskill.quanthub.com/start), they will enter the invitation code and their email. Afterward, they will receive a confirmation message stating that they have been sent an email invitation to take the test.
