In this article, you will learn how to navigate the dashboard for CodeSignal Pre-Screen.
NOTE: We are in the midst of merging CERTIFY and TEST into PRE-SCREEN. Depending on your company's migration status, you may see either the:
1. Updated layout (PRE-SCREEN solution and dashboard only)
2. Legacy layout (PRE-SCREEN solution which contains both CERTIFY and TEST dashboards)
As a result, this article will review both layouts.
1. Updated layout (PRE-SCREEN solution and dashboard only)
You will first need to log into your company's CodeSignal account and click on Pre-Screen.
In the Results tab, you are able to perform the following tasks:
- Invite candidates to take pre-screens
- Search for a candidate's completed pre-screen results
- See an overview of your pre-screen's completion record
Invite candidates to complete a Pre-Screen
Click the +Invite button in the top right, above the test results overview dashboard.
From here, fill in the following details before clicking Create Invitation:
- Select the pre-screen to send to the candidate by finding your pre-screen in the drop down menu.
- Add the candidate's name and email in the provided fields.
- Select an expiration date which will expire the URL after the specified timeframe. We recommend 2 weeks as a best practice, however you have options from 1 day to 6 months.
- Optional: Send out additional pre-screen invitations to candidates by clicking the +Add More Candidates button.
Click Send Invite to email a link to the pre-screen session directly to the candidate. You can also grab the pre-screen link in the next step.
Search for a candidate's completed pre-screen result
From the Results tab, search for a candidate by name or email in the search field to find results from any pre-screen taken across your platform. Searching for a candidate from here will show you if the candidate has taken another pre-screen for your company, as well.
See an overview of your pre-screen's completion record
The pre-screen completion dashboard shows you how many times your pre-screens have been completed by candidates across all of your pre-screens. You can see specifically how many times your pre-screens have been completed by:
- Week
- Month
- Six month span
- Overall to date
Pre-Screens tab
The second tab is the Pre-Screens tab, to the right of the Results tab. Navigate to the Pre-Screens tab to perform the following tasks:
- Create pre-screens
- Search and view your current pre-screens
Create Pre-screens
To start, within the Pre-Screens tab, click the +Create button in the top right.
For more detailed instructions, the Create a Test in CodeSignal article walks you through creating a test step-by-step.
Search and view your current pre-screens
Any pre-screens you have created (and not deleted) will appear under the Pre-Screens tab. If you have several tests, you can search by test name or label in the search bar to easily find the test you need to access.
2. Legacy layout (PRE-SCREEN solution which contains both CERTIFY and TEST dashboards)
You will first need to log into your company's CodeSignal account and click on Pre-Screen. From here, you will see options to select Certify or Test.
