How to review candidate responses to assessment questions - for hiring managers and recruiters

Modified on Thu, 4 Sep at 1:37 PM

Feature: Candidate Assessment Forms, Assessment Questions

For: Hiring Managers & Recruiters


I want to: 

  • See at-a-glance each candidate’s total Assessment Form score from the Candidate list.
  • Open a candidate’s scored or non-scored Assessment Form to review answers and scores
  • Understand the colour cues, ticks/crosses, and ranking layout

 

View candidate scores at a glance (scored forms)

  1. Go to Jobs and open the relevant Job Title.
  2. The Candidates list appears.
  3. Check the Score A / Score B columns - the figure shown is the candidate’s total score.


Column labels look different? Your site admin may have renamed Score A / Score B (e.g. Application Score).


Tip: Click the ▲▼ header icon to sort candidates highest-to-lowest and focus on your top scorers first.

 

Option 1: Open the Assessment Form

Action

  1. From Jobs, click the relevant Job Title.
  2. Select the candidate’s name to open their record.
  3. Depending on your configuration:

  5. In the More tab, use the kebab menu (⋮) and select Assessment Form /Assessment Form B.

Understanding how choice-question responses are displayed

 

Option answer display for choice questions

Colour / Icon

What it means

Green border

The option is a correct answer.

Green border + green tick

The candidate chose the correct answer.

Orange border + orange cross

The candidate chose an incorrect answer.

Dark grey border, no icon

Options the candidate didn't select. (For context only)

 

Key points

  • A tick or cross only appears next to the option(s) the candidate chose
  • An orange border and cross always appear together, signalling the candidate selected an incorrect answer.
  • If multiple correct answers exist, each one is outlined in green

 

Understanding how order-of-importance responses are displayed

 

Each question shows two columns under the question text:

  • Correct Order – The correct order set by the form designer.
  • Candidate Order – How the candidate ranked the options.


In the Candidate Order column, each option is color-coded to quickly indicate correct or incorrect placements.

FAQs

Why don’t I see the Score A / Score B columns in my candidate list?
Your site admin may have relabelled or hidden them. Ask them to confirm the column name and check it’s switched on.

 

Can I download the scores into Excel?
Yes. In the candidate list, click Export > Excel (or CSV) and include the Score A / Score B columns. The export will show each candidate’s total score.

 

How is the overall score calculated when there are two assessment forms?

Score A totals questions from Assessment Form A; Score B totals questions from Assessment Form B. The system does not auto-combine them.

 

The “Correct Order / Candidate Order” panels aren’t showing—what’s wrong?
Those panels only appear for order-of-importance question types. If you don’t see them, the question was set up as a different question type such as Choice or Rating.
