How to Review a Candidate's Report on Testlify

The candidate report on Testlify gives you a complete view of test performance — scores, answers, activity logs, and hiring actions — all on one page. Follow these steps to review a report and act on the results.

Before you begin

• You need an active Testlify account with access to at least one published assessment.
• The candidate must have submitted the assessment before their report is available.

Step 1: Log in and open Assessments

1. Log in to your Testlify account.
2. Click the Assessments tab on your dashboard.
3. Select the assessment whose candidate reports you want to review.

Step 2: Open a candidate's report

1. In the assessment view, find the list of candidates who have completed the test.
2. Click the candidate's name to open their report.

Step 3: Review scores

1. On the candidate's page, view the overall score and a section-by-section performance breakdown.

Step 4: Explore report details

Each report contains four sections:

• Candidate information — basic profile details.

• Logs — a record of the candidate's activity during the test.

• Questions answered — each question with the candidate's response and its score.

• Scoring — a summary of strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance.

Step 5: Add internal feedback

After reviewing the report, enter your feedback directly on the candidate's page to share notes with your team.

Step 6: Take action on the report

Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right side of the page to access these actions:

• Download the report — save an offline copy.
• Email the report — send it directly to the candidate.
• Shortlist the candidate — mark them as shortlisted for the role.
• Shareable link — share the report with your team.
• Delete or reject — remove or reject the candidate from the process.
• Change hiring stage — update the candidate's status in your pipeline without leaving the page.

Tip: Update the hiring stage immediately after reviewing each report — it keeps your pipeline current and makes handoffs to other team members seamless.
