Through this integration, you can send Bryq assessment tests to candidates via Workable and receive the results on the candidate's timeline in Workable.

Setting up the integration

You must be a Super Admin in Workable to set up integrations.
You must be an Account Administrator in Bryq to set up integrations.

To set the integration up, start by signing in to your Bryq account to retrieve the API key:

  • In Bryq, click on your profile icon in the upper right and select Company Settings

  • Under the Integrations section, click on Workable

  • In the pop-up, click Create API key 

  • An API key (a very long string of letters and numbers) will appear in a text box

  • Click on the copy icon to copy the API key to clipboard

Next, sign in to Workable:

  • Click your user icon in the upper right and select Integrations

  • Locate Bryq in the list of Assessment Providers and click on it

  • Paste the API key into the field that appears and click Update Settings 

That's it! The connection will be complete and you'll be able to start sending out assessment tests.

Assigning an assessment to a job

Bryq can be used both as a screening tool to screen all incoming candidates or as an as-needed assessment for select candidates.

Using Bryq as a screening assessment

Once for all jobs:
You will want to modify your recruiting pipeline (under Recruiting preferences) to include an assessment stage. Just click Add a new stage, and add a new stage (we suggest calling it Bryq) of type Assessment.

Your pipeline should look now like this:

For every job:
Once you create the assessment in Bryq, you need to associate it with a job in Workable. Edit the Job in Workable and go to the Assessment tab.
Select Add another evaluation method.
Select the Stage (e.g. Bryq) and Press OK.
Select Assessment test - it will show you a list of the currently available Bryq assessments. Select the one that matches this job and click on Save changes.

For every candidate:
Now as new candidates apply, you can move them to the Bryq stage.

From there, you can select each candidate and click the assessment icon. Click on confirm and you are done.

I hate clicking. Is there maybe an automated way to do this?

📌 As of October 2023, Workable offers the option to bulk-send the assessments to more than one candidate.

Simply click on Settings from your Profile picture and navigate to the Automated actions menu item.

Create an "Assessment" type automation as seen below:

This automation triggers automatically the Bryq assessment the moment when more than one candidate is moved to the Bryq stage,

Using Bryq as an as-needed assessment

If you just want to assess candidates as needed, do the following:

For every job:
Once you create the assessment in Bryq, you need to associate it with a job in Workable. Edit the Job in Workable and go to the Assessment tab.
Select Add another evaluation method. Select the Stage (e.g. Phone Interview) and Press OK.
Select Assessment test - it will show you a list with the currently available Bryq assessments. Select the one that matches this job and click on Save changes.

For every candidate:

From candidates who are already in the assessment Stage (e.g. Phone Interview), you can select each candidate and click the assessment icon. Click on confirm and you are done.

Where do I see the candidate results?

Inbox

Once a candidate completes the assessment, results will automatically appear in Workable.
You will receive a message in your Workable inbox:

Within Workable, you can already see the major job-related KPIs such as Overall Fit Score, and Cognitive, including the four cognitive attributes, Personality, Culture, and any other relevant Competencies i.e. Leadership Effectiveness, etc.

Clicking on the link View reports on Bryq will redirect you to an external anonymized view with the candidate's results in Bryq without the need to be registered as a Bryq user.

For a detailed examination of the candidate and use of the Bryq features such as candidate comparison and talent matching registered users in Bryq can click on the top left link View full results on Bryq so that you can access more insights.

Candidate List

In your candidate list (usually in the Bryq stage) you can immediately see candidate results.

A little icon next to each candidate denotes the match score of each candidate:

  1. Star ➡️ 8,9 - Great Fit & 10 - Exceptional Fit,

  2. Thumbs up ➡️ 6,7 - Good Fit & 5,4 - Average Fit,

  3. Thumbs down ➡️ 2,3 - Below Average Fit and 1 - Poor Fit.


To facilitate navigating, we suggest sorting candidates By evaluation, as shown in the picture above.

The same information that you received in your inbox is also available in the candidate's timeline, including the link to the Bryq report.

From here you can review the top-matching candidates and move as many as you require to the next stage.
