  3. Click the Candidates tab near the top of the screen.
  1. Click the “Add Candidates” button.

FAQs

I don’t see the “Don’t need to send assessments?” prompt. Can I still add an existing person to a job?
Yes. To do so:

1. Follow steps 1 through 6 from the above section.

2. The “Add Candidates” panel will open.

3. In the search box under “Email,” enter the name or email of the person you’d like to add to the job.



4. Select the person from the dropdown options.



5. If the person has existing BA results, you will see the message, “[Person] has already taken the Behavioral Assessment. Proceeding will use their existing results.”



6. Confirm by clicking “Add to Job.”

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).
