FAQs

How do I move an existing candidate to a different job?

Select a different job from the Hiring Center, and follow the same directions in this article. The candidate will automatically be moved to the new job.

I don’t see “X” candidate. Why?

It’s possible the employee doesn’t have existing data within the PI software. Try adding them as a new candidate.

Will an existing candidate need to retake the Behavioral or Cognitive Assessment?

No. If a candidate already has behavioral results in the system, that data will automatically carry over. The same goes for cognitive results.

​Exception: If an existing candidate never completed the BA and/or CA, they will be prompted to complete the relevant assessment(s).
