๐Ÿ“Œ You now have two options available:

a. Bryq to automatically create the Assessment with the default settings the moment a requisition linked to Bryq is approved.

b. Manually create & Link a Bryq assessment to a SuccessFactors Job Requisition.

Option A: Automated creation of the Assessment in Bryq

Recognizing the value of your time and the significance of a seamless user experience in your daily tasks, we have further refined the SAP SF integration. Now, assessments can be automatically created without the need for users to log in to Bryq and perform additional steps.

Your preference for this streamlined option is important to us, and we want to emphasize that proper setup in Tool is crucial for maximizing the benefits of this process.

After establishing the integration between SAP SF & Tool, take a moment to ensure the correct configuration of assessment default settings.

Navigate to Profile > Assessment Settings and, under Assessment Defaults, set the standard values for assessments.

The default values will be the ones used when an assessment is automatically created. Namely:

  1. The assessment kind (Express for Frontline and Hourly Workers, Standards for Office Positions or Personality Only).

  2. The assessment language - typically refers to the business language used.

  3. Assessment validity days - indicates when the assessment invitation is considered expired.

  4. Monitor assessment - proctoring.

  5. Indicators - which competencies are important for you to review.

Once you make sure that the Assessment Defaults are the correct ones then go back to SuccessFactors and enable the event notification for this event. First search for Event Subscription Management and then select the event Update of Job Requisition.

Click Add and in the form add the following details:


โ€‹

  1. Name: RequisitionUpdateSubscription

  2. Authentication Type: Basic

  3. Username: The generated User from Bryq (Under Integrations > SAP SF > Expand to view details)

  4. Password: The generated Password from Bryq (Under Integrations > SAP SF > Expand to view details)

  5. Event type is populated by SAP SF.

Click Save. A notification pops up explaining that the Subscription event has been saved.

๐Ÿ’ก Under the Execution Manager dashboard > Pre-delivered Integrations there is a monitor log of each time SAP SF tries to ping Bryq for the related event subcription notification.

And you are all set. Next time you approve a Job Requisition in SuccessFactors that has linked Bryq as an assessment vendor, our system automatically creates the assessment in Bryq with the following name convention: Job ID - External Job Title - Location. The Department is shown in the Department column.

The profile is generated based on the Job Description parsed by SAP SF. In case no description available the role profile will allocate the weights equally for Cognitive but for Personality no trait will be selected.

Finally, the default Assessment Settings (kind, language, validity, indicators) will apply for the automatic creation of the assessment in Bryq.

Option B: Manually create & link a Bryq assessment to a SuccessFactors Job Requisition

Final step is the creation and link of the Bryq assessment to a specific Job in SuccessFactors.

  1. Login to Bryq

  2. Click on New Assessment; the field SAP SuccessFactors Job Requisition is visible in the form.

3. It is advisable to start with selecting the relevant job from the SAP SuccessFactors Job Requisition. The moment the job is selected the fields: Job title, Department and Job Description are automatically filled out.

4. Once, you are done with setting up the assessment click on Save.

Apply to a job and view assessment results

Assuming that a candidate view the Job Requisition and applied. For example:

After completion and submission of the application the user receives a Bryq invitation to take the assessment for the relevant position. As follows:

Once the candidate completes the assessment, you can view the overall score in SAP SuccessFactors under Recruiting > Select a Job Requisition and click on Candidates.

The Assessment Status for candidates that have completed the assessment is set to "Completed".

Now, select a candidate to view the assessment results.

Under the Assessments section, you will be able to view the Bryq overall score, Cognitive and Personality score. Additional information displayed is:

  • Duration

  • Completion date

  • Initiation date

๐Ÿ“Œ Trouble in viewing results even though the candidate has completed the assessment in Bryq? Make sure that the correct permissions are assigned to the user which is being used to update/insert the application via API call. Read more here.

For a more detailed view of the candidate's results click on View detailed results and you will be redirected to an anonymized link through which the candidate's results are shown. Optionally, you may want to view the detailed candidate results in Bryq by clicking on View full results on Bryq link.

๐Ÿ“Œ Bryq also sends the candidate results as a PDF attachment. By default, Bryq is sending the attachment to the field `attachment1` which is usually called "Additional Documents" in the default SF templates:

* NXGEN Candidate Detail Info Template

* NXGEN Candidate Detail Info Template NEW

* NXGEN Candidate Detail Info Template - Quick Apply

If you want to customize where the PDF report is sent, you should give us the name of an Attachment field on JobApplication, for example, `attachment1` which is our default.
