The Candidates Page provides a centralized view of all candidates who have been invited to take an assessment in Canditech, allowing you to track their progress and review their results.
To access the Candidates page, click Candidates in the top navigation bar of your Canditech account.
At the top of the page, you can use the search bar and filters to quickly find specific candidates or narrow down your results by:
Search: Find candidates by name or email address.
Assessment Name: Filter candidates by a specific assessment.
Status: Filter candidates based on their assessment status.
Decision: Filter candidates based on their assessment decision (Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, or No Decision).
You can also use the Actions menu in the top-right corner to manage candidate invitations, extend expiry dates, generate assessment retakes, and delete candidate sessions.
What Does Each Assessment Status Mean?
Canditech utilizes a comprehensive system with six distinct statuses to track a candidate's assessment progress:
Invite Sent: At this stage, an invitation has been sent to the candidate.
Opened: This status indicates that the candidate has opened the assessment. However, they have not yet begun the assessment.
Invite Expired: The candidate didn't start the assessment before its expiry date, so their invitation link no longer works. You can extend it from the Actions menu.
In Progress: The candidate is engaged in the assessment and actively answering questions.
Completed: Once the candidate has finished answering all the questions, and has chosen to submit the assessment, it will be marked as "Completed."
Abandoned: This status applies when a candidate leaves the assessment without submitting it, and the allotted time has elapsed, preventing the candidate from re-entering into the assessment.
What Is the Actions Menu on the Candidates Page?
The Actions menu on the Candidates page allows you to manage candidate invitations, assessment retakes, and sessions.
To access the available actions, select a candidate using the checkbox on the left side of their row, then click Actions in the top-right corner of the page.
From here, you can:
Resend invitation: Retrieve a candidate's assessment invitation link or resend the original invitation email.
Extend expiry date: Extend an expired invitation to give the candidate more time to start their assessment.
Retake assessment: Generate a new assessment link for a candidate to retake an assessment. This option is available from the Actions menu on the Candidates page or directly within the candidate's assessment session.
To learn more about generating an assessment retake directly from a candidate's assessment session, click here.
Delete Sessions: Permanently delete one or more selected candidate sessions.
Clear filters: Reset any applied search filters.
Note: The availability of each action depends on the candidate's assessment status. Resending invitations, extending expiry dates, and generating retakes can only be performed for one candidate at a time. If an action is greyed out, hover over it to see why it is unavailable.

How Do You Filter Candidates by Assessment Decision?
On the Candidates page, you can use the Decision filter to view candidates based on their assessment decisions.
Canditech allows users to assign a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down decision to a candidate's assessment:
Thumbs Up (đ): Indicates that the candidate has passed the assessment.
Thumbs Down (đ): Indicates that the candidate has failed the assessment.
No Decision: Indicates that no assessment decision has been made for the candidate.
To filter candidates by their assessment decisions, click the Decision dropdown at the top of the Candidates page and select the decision(s) you would like to view.

Note: Decisions made on the Canditech platform will sync to your ATS, if applicable.
