Acendre Recruit by HireRoad
About Acendre Recruit by HireRoad
Acendre Recruit by HireRoad (formerly Acendre) is a secure, configurable, cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruitment platform tailored for government agencies, public sectors, and highly regulated industries. It streamlines talent acquisition by automating end-to-end recruitment workflows, including job requisitions, candidate sourcing, onboarding, and compliance reporting.
How does the integration work?
HireRoad (Acendre) is highly configurable and can integrate with Criteria to streamline your assessment-based hiring. Testing is triggered automatically based on candidate status changes in Acendre Recruit, or may be triggered immediately after an application is submitted, with the correct setup in place.
Criteria sends the invitation email, manages assessment expiry dates, and returns key results back into Acendre Recruit as mapped score fields (e.g., talent signal, test scores and report links). This integration helps teams deliver a consistent candidate experience and view assessment outcomes directly within their hiring workflow.
Integration FAQ: what you need to know
How much does it cost to set up an integration with HireRoad? | There may be costs associated with setting up and maintaining an integration with your Acendre Recruit account. Please reach out to your Criteria account manager for further information. To learn more about any potential costs relating to Acendre Recruit, we recommend contacting your account manager at HireRoad. |
Can I trial the integration before I purchase? | Criteria customers must have an appropriate subscription before an integration can be initiated. |
Does the integration support assessment and video interviews? | The integration supports assessments only at this time. Structured interviewing is managed directly in your Criteria account and the results do not pass through to Acendre Recruit. |
Can I reuse my candidates' previous results for a new job? | Yes, if you have the "Reuse Assessment Results" function enabled in your Criteria account, you can copy your candidates' existing results to new requisitions. When this option is set, the system will automatically identify if a match is found between the candidate and any existing results for the same assessments. |
How are the invitations sent? | The candidate will receive an invitation email from Criteria to notify them to complete their testing. The email will contain the direct testing link to take them into Criteria. |
Can I send assessments in-line with application? | Yes, testing can be triggered immediately after the application form is submitted when the requisition is configured to do so. |
When can I see my candidates' results? | The scores will appear in your Acendre Recruit account once the candidate has completed all assessments in the package. |
What information will I see for my candidates' results? | Result fields can be mapped and shown in Acendre Recruit, such as Talent Signal and Criteria Score Report link. Assessment score fields are configurable and mapped via Acendre Customer Configuration Form. |
Can I invite candidates without sending their personally identifiable information (PII) to Criteria? | No, Criteria requires the candidate's name and email address in order to send them the invitation email. |
