The integration with Canditech allows you to evaluate technical and soft skills using skill assessments, cognitive evaluation and video interviews, directly on HiBob. In this article we will cover how to:
Enable the HiBob/Canditech Integration
To start, navigate to the System Settings page from the Homepage of your HiBob account.
Inside of Settings, navigate to Integrations on the left-hand side, and select Canditech from the available Bob Hiring Integrations.
Once inside of the Canditech Integration page, click Connect.
You will then be prompted to Enter your API Key.
Navigate to the Canditech Platform > Settings > Integrations.
Note: The Settings page is only accessible to admin users.
Open the HiBob drop-down and select Generate Key.
Your API key will be generated and saved.
After copying your API key, navigate back to your HiBob Account > Settings > Integrations > Canditech.
Paste your API Key that you copied from Canditech and click Connect.
Your integration is now enabled!
Add Canditech to a Hiring Workflow Template
Before adding Canditech assessments, you need to set up or edit a hiring workflow template in HiBob. This ensures that any job using that template will automatically include the Canditech stage.
From your HiBob homepage, navigate to Hiring or Jobs (menu naming may vary based on your HiBob setup).
Once inside the Hiring section, locate Templates or Hiring Workflows.
Choose an existing template to edit, or click Add Template to start fresh.
Within the workflow editor, click Add Stage. Select Canditech Assessment from the available stage types.
Set the "Stage type" as "Skills assessment", and name the stage (e.g., “Canditech Test”).
Click Save to finalize and apply the workflow template.
Your hiring pipeline has been finalized with Canditech as a stage.
Create a Job and Assign Canditech
Once your hiring workflow template includes a Canditech assessment stage, you’re ready to create a job and use that template.
From your HiBob homepage, navigate to the Hiring or Jobs section of your HiBob account. This is where you’ll manage job postings and pipelines.
To begin, click Add Job Opening to open the job creation flow.
You’ll then be prompted to select a Pipeline Template.
A list of existing templates will appear. Select the one you created earlier that includes the Canditech Assessment stage.
After selecting the template, you’ll be taken to a job summary or confirmation page. Review all the job details and workflow settings, then click Create or Publish to finalize the job.
Send Assessments to Candidates
Once your job is live and candidates begin entering the hiring pipeline, you can send them a Canditech assessment directly from within HiBob.
From your HiBob homepage, go to Hiring > Jobs and select the job in question. Open the profile of the candidate you'd like to assess.
Click “Move to next stage” and select “Canditech” from the dropdown list of stages.
Once the candidate is in the Canditech stage, click the Run Assessment button to initiate the invite.
From the dropdown, choose Canditech as the assessment provider.
Choose the relevant test you'd like to assign from your Canditech library.
A dropdown will appear listing all assessments available in your Canditech account.
After selecting the correct assessment, click Run to send it to the candidate.
Once sent, the candidate will appear with a Canditech test in progress.
Review Assessment Results
Once a candidate completes their Canditech assessment, you can easily view their results directly from within HiBob.
Navigate to Hiring > Jobs, select the relevant job, and open the candidate’s profile.
Inside the Canditech Assessment stage, you’ll see a summary of the candidate’s performance.
The summary includes the assessment name, completion status (e.g., Passed, Failed), scores, and test type.
Click the View full report link to open the candidate’s session in the Canditech platform. There, you can view detailed results, responses, and video recordings.
When you navigate to the candidate's assessment session in the Canditech platform, you can give the candidate's test session a thumbs up or thumbs down decision.
Once a decision is made in Canditech, it automatically syncs back to HiBob. You’ll see the feedback and decision appear directly inside the candidate’s assessment panel.
