Common questions
Can a SmartRecruiters user see candidate results if they are not a user of TestGorilla?
No. SmartRecruiters users who are not users on your company's TestGorilla account will not be able to access the candidate results page. They will be prompted to request access from the TestGorilla account owner.
Users without TestGorilla access are prompted to request it
Why aren't my TestGorilla assessments appearing in SmartRecruiters?
With the Kombo-powered SmartRecruiters integration, all your existing assessments are synced and available to use immediately after connecting. If your assessments are not appearing, try refreshing the page or contact TestGorilla support.
Note that you can only send each assessment once per candidate. If you have already sent an assessment to a candidate, it will not show up on the assessment selection screen for them again.
Why doesn't the Integrations tab appear in my user menu?
Integrations can only be enabled or disabled by the Account Owner or an Admin. The tab is only visible to those users.
Do I need to do anything for the new Kombo-powered connection?
If you are an existing SmartRecruiters customer, no action is required. Your integration has been automatically upgraded. New customers should follow the updated setup steps in this article.
