How does the integration work?
- The Criteria Platform is used to activate the integration, set up status mappings and set up job mappings.
- There are two methods for job matching: you can either use the same job name in both systems or map BambooHR jobs to Criteria jobs in Criteria platform.
- When you update a candidate's status in BambooHR, Criteria will send an invitation via email to the candidate to take the assessments / structured interview.
- When the candidate completes the assessments, the results and report will be visible in BambooHR.
- Candidates are moved into the applicable completion status based on whether they met the Score Ranges, or not.
- Configuration options available are: suppress scores, use summary report, require logon for report, external ID.
- There are no fields to hold scores in BambooHR. The results are shown in a comment. You can use Score Ranges and status mappings to move candidates who meet score ranges into a different status.
- The report link is not clickable in BambooHR.
