For the most robust version of the PDF, we recommend downloading the PDF directly from the candidate's result page.

Shared results: What candidates see
All registered account users on any plan can share results with a candidate.
You can share a limited version of the results with your candidate from within the app. This version only includes their percentile score, test results, and answers to your custom questions. They cannot see anti-cheating information, snapshots, star ratings, or any notes you have made about them.
We explain how to share your candidates' results with them in our managing candidates article.
The results are sent to them as a PDF file.
|
The percentile score indicates which percentile a candidate's scores fall into compared to those of others who have taken the test. Test scores summarize the candidate’s performance in your chosen tests. Each test is broken down into skill areas.
|
|
|
|
The Motivation/Culture add results display the answers the candidate chose and their score for each section. It doesn’t display which answers were closely aligned with yours. |
|
|
|
Personality test results will display their personality type and its summary. |
|
|
|
Custom questions will show the question asked and how it is answered. However, users cannot view their answers to file upload or video questions. |
