Wonderlic Select has a new experience designed around one goal: helping you find the candidate most likely to succeed in the role.

Your job openings, candidates, and results are all still here, updated and redesigned around that goal, and some familiar actions have moved. Start with the page map below to see where each classic page went, then read the section for any page where you want a fuller walkthrough.

For the benefit side of the redesign — what's new and why it matters — see The Redesigned Wonderlic Select Experience.

Where the classic pages went

The table below maps each classic Select page to its home in the new experience. Most pages are right where you left them.

Classic Select	New Select
Dashboard	Still your home page, redesigned — with every job opening now on it
Job openings page	Consolidated into the Dashboard — there's no longer a separate page to visit
Search results page	Results now appear as you type, right from the search bar at the top of every page
Candidates list	Same place — open a job opening to see its candidates
Candidate compare	Same place — compare up to four candidates side-by-side, directly from the new candidates list
Candidate's detailed results	Same place — open a candidate from the candidates list

Dashboard

In classic Select, your job openings lived on their own page, separate from your Dashboard.

The new experience consolidates them — the Dashboard is now the single home for everything you're hiring for:

Job Openings table — every job opening with its candidate counts, tags, location, hiring manager, and status. Filter, sort, and choose your columns — Wonderlic Select saves your choices automatically, so the table looks the same the next time you sign in
Recent activity — a live feed showing candidates who just completed their assessments, so you can see who's ready for the next step without opening each job opening
Quick actions on each row — act on an opening without leaving the page

Classic — The classic Dashboard with Recent Openings

New — The new Wonderlic Select Dashboard

Familiar actions from both classic pages and where they live now:

The action	Where it was in the classic experience	Where it is in the new experience
See your recent job openings (classic showed up to 10)	Dashboard	The Dashboard's Job Openings table shows every opening, and the Recent activity feed shows who just completed assessments
Add a job opening	Dashboard and job openings page	Add Job Opening at the top of the Dashboard
Scan and filter the list to find an opening	Job openings page	The same scanning and filtering on the Dashboard's Job Openings table, now with sorting too — your view choices are saved automatically
Copy a job opening's Quick Apply Link	Job openings page	The copy-link icon on the opening's Dashboard row
Invite a candidate by email	Job openings page	Send Invitation on the opening's Dashboard row
Change a job opening's status (active or archived)	Job openings page	The status menu at the top of the job opening view, right above its candidates list (Active > Archive)
View a job opening's scoring profile	Job openings page	The overflow menu (⋮) at the top of the opening's candidates list — see the scoring profile section below
Follow or unfollow a job opening	Job openings page	The ⋮ menu at the end of the opening's Dashboard row

Search

In classic Select, finding a candidate or a job opening meant navigating to the search page and running separate searches.

The new experience has one search bar at the top of every page.

Results appear as you type, candidates and job openings together
Selecting a result takes you straight there: one search, one click, no tab-switching

Classic — The classic search and search results page

Step 1: search

Step 2: view search results

New — Search results appearing as you type, showing both candidates and job openings

Candidates list

Selecting a job opening takes you to its candidates list, which looks different in four ways.

The opening's details are in view. The opening's hiring manager, location, tags, and created date now appear at the top of the page, above the candidates list.

In classic Select, those details lived on the job openings page, several clicks away through the opening's edit screen
The created date is now an exact date (classic showed a relative one)

One list with a status filter. The active, archived, and hired tabs are gone — one list covers all your candidates.

Filter the list to any combination of statuses you want
Your filter choice is saved automatically

One Overall Fit Score per candidate. The Overall Fit Score you know from classic Select now stands alone on the list — the separate Cognitive Ability, Motivation, and Personality component scores no longer appear beside it.

Overall Fit combines those same measurements and is a stronger predictor of job performance than any component score alone, so every candidate is screened against the same job-related bar
Use it as your quick first read on who to spend time with — for the deeper look, the individual attributes on the candidate's detailed results are one click away and give a more precise read on a candidate than the component scores did
Candidates with completed results surface at the top of the list so you can act on them first

Bulk actions with checkboxes. Select candidates with the checkboxes to act on several at once.

Change multiple candidates' status in one action
Copy candidates to another job opening: the same Copy Candidate action as classic Select, now for several candidates at a time

Classic — The classic candidate list with component scores and status tabs

New — The new candidates list showing Overall Fit Scores, status filter, and selection checkboxes

Familiar actions and where they live on the candidates list:

The action	Where it was in the classic experience	Where it is in the new experience
Change a job opening's status (active or archived)	Job openings page	The status menu at the top of the job opening view, right above its candidates list (Active > Archive)
See a job opening's hiring manager, location, and tags	Job openings page	Shown at the top of the job opening view, above the candidates list, along with the opening's created date — now an exact date (classic showed a relative one)
Review each candidate's Cognitive Ability, Motivation, and Personality component scores to decide who to spend time with	Candidates list	Focus on the Overall Fit Score — a stronger predictor of job-specific performance than any component score — then dive into the candidate's detailed results for the deeper look
Mark an individual candidate as hired, active, or archived	Candidates list	The same: select the candidate on the list and choose their new status
Mark multiple candidates as archived (classic's only bulk status change)	Candidates list	Mark multiple candidates as hired, active, or archived: select them and change their status in one action
Switch between the active, archived, and hired tabs to find candidates	Candidates list	Filter the list to any combination of statuses — your choice is saved automatically
Copy a candidate to another job opening	Candidates list	The same Copy Candidate action: select candidates with the checkboxes, then the copy icon — and you can now copy several at once (classic copied one at a time)
Launch Tests for a candidate	Candidates list	Open Manage Invitations from the candidate's action row — see the Assessment Invitations section below

A candidate's Overall Fit Score appears once they complete all of the opening's assessment activities, so every score you compare means the same thing.

Detailed results

A candidate's detailed results now put the most useful information first, in four ways.

Key Indicators lead the page. The page opens with the candidate's top five predictors of success for this role, called Key Indicators and marked with the Key Indicator symbol. The signal that used to sit at the bottom of the page now leads it.

Attributes are grouped into focused sections. Classic showed the same information as one long list you scrolled through — each section now lets you focus on what you care about.

Overall Fit: the candidate's assessment results combined into one overall measure of how well suited they are for the role, led by their Key Indicators
Cognitive Ability: what the candidate can do — their ability to learn, adapt, solve problems, and understand instructions
Personality: what the candidate will do — their behaviors, and how well those fit the responsibilities of the role
Motivation: what the candidate wants to do — their job-related interests, and how well those align with the tasks and work environment of the role
All Fit Scores: the candidate's results across every attribute Wonderlic Select measures, ranked by their job-specific impact on the overall score

Attributes are ordered by what matters most. Wherever attributes appear, they're listed in the order they contribute to the candidate's Overall Fit Score.

Attributes at the top weigh more heavily in the calculation
Attributes farther down matter less to fit for this role but are still reported, because every organization values different things

The component numeric scores have come off the page. Cognitive Ability, Motivation, and Personality no longer show a numeric component score.

The individual attributes within each component give a more precise read on a candidate than the component roll-ups did, so they're the better basis for screening a candidate in and weighing trade-offs between finalists
The candidate's Key Indicators are the summary to share with leadership or hiring managers — more predictive than the component scores were and specific to this role

New — Detailed results leading with Key Indicators, the top five predictors of success in the role

Launch Tests for a candidate	Open Manage Invitations from the action menu (three dots) — see the Assessment Invitations section below

Assessment Invitations

Invitation actions that were spread across classic Select — resending, retests, onsite sessions — now live in one place.

Open Manage Invitations from the overflow menu (three dots) on the candidate's detailed results or from the action row on the candidates list. The panel shows two things:

Assessment History — a timeline of everything that has happened with the candidate's assessments: invitations sent, assessments started and completed, expirations, and retest warnings
The action that fits right now — the panel offers only the action that matches the candidate's current status, so there's no guessing about what will happen

Classic — The classic assessment experience

Launch Tests:

View a candidate's progress through the assessment:

New — The Manage Invitations panel showing Assessment History and available actions

Manage Assessment Invitations — includes Assessment History, testing actions, and an easy way to copy and share a candidate's invitation link

Familiar actions and how they work in Manage Invitations:

In the classic Select experience	In the new Select experience
Launch Tests — one catch-all for sending, resending, and retests, where it wasn't always clear what would happen	Manage Invitations offers the specific action that fits the candidate's next step
Create a new invitation when a candidate needed their invitation link again — resending wasn't available	Select Resend Invitation — it re-sends the email and resets the expiration
Help a candidate who says they didn't receive their invitation email	While a candidate's invitation is active, copy their invitation link right from the panel and get it to them another way — by text, through your ATS's emails, or from your own inbox
Use Launch Tests to send a retest for activities with a warning	Select Send Retest Invitation — it appears when a candidate's results generate a retest warning and covers only the flagged assessments
Test a candidate onsite	Select Test Onsite to get the assessment portal link and the candidate's access code

Scoring profile

In classic Select, the scoring profile details read as generic — two different roles could sound nearly the same, even though the scoring behind them was job-specific.

The new scoring profile details show how specific your job's scoring truly is: what success looks like in this role and how candidates are evaluated against it. Open them from the overflow menu (⋮) at the top of the opening's candidates list.

A clear job summary confirms how the role is defined, and job-specific tasks show what each attribute means in this role
The most predictive attributes are marked as Key Indicators — a preview, before any results come in, of what will lead each candidate's results
Add a job description for even more role-specific context — it clarifies how role expectations, Key Indicators, and related tasks connect

One note: the new scoring profile details appear on job openings you add in the new experience. Existing job openings keep the profile they were created with — like the scoring itself, it's locked in place, so nothing shifts under the roles you're already hiring for.

Nothing about how candidates are scored has changed. The scoring profile details make the existing scoring visible — they don't alter it, and your historical results are exactly as valid as before.

Classic — The classic scoring profile view

New — Scoring profile details showing how job requirements map to measured attributes

Compare candidates

Classic Select had a side-by-side comparison too, but it listed attributes in a different order than the detailed results — the same candidate's strengths could show up in a different order depending on the screen.

In the new experience, attributes always appear in the same job-specific order, on every screen, so there's nothing to relearn.

Compare two to four candidates at once, opened directly from the new candidates list
Attributes are ranked by importance to each role — the ones at the top are more job-relevant and matter more to the Overall Fit Score, in the same order you see on the detailed results
Every attribute comes with its definition — see exactly what it measures, just like on the detailed results
The comparison is organized into Relevant Indicators of Performance and Additional Attributes — the job-relevant attributes where the meaningful differences between candidates live

Classic — Comparing candidates in classic Select

New — Side-by-side comparison of candidates showing attributes in the same order as detailed results

Assessments

Each job opening's assessment activities (Cognitive Ability, Motivation, and Personality) are now set when the opening is created and apply to every candidate, however they're invited: email invitation, Quick Apply Link, or onsite.

The per-link Select Activities step is gone because there's nothing left to choose per invitation — every method uses what the opening was created with. This guarantees every candidate for the job completes the same activities, so their scores are directly comparable.

Wonderlic Select is designed to measure all three together. Every new job opening uses that full battery — the whole-person measurement that makes results so predictive.

Two things follow from this:

The activities can't be changed after the opening is created. If you need a different set, create a new job opening and use Copy Candidate to bring existing candidates' results along
Cloning keeps the original's activities. A cloned opening carries them over exactly

Classic — assessment invitation types with activity options that can change for each candidate

Quick Apply Link with option to select activities

Launch Tests with option to select activities

New — assessment invitations using the job opening's configured activities

FAQ

Is my historical candidate data still valid?

Yes. All of your past openings, candidates, and results are exactly as they were, and nothing about the science behind your existing results has changed.

Can candidates for one job opening take different assessments?

No. Every candidate on an opening completes the same assessment activities, so their Overall Fit Scores are fair and comparable.

Why don't some candidates show an Overall Fit Score?

They haven't completed all of the opening's assessment activities yet. Before a candidate completes anything, there are no results to show. Once they've completed some activities but not all, you'll see partial results for what's finished. When every activity is complete, the Overall Fit Score appears — and it always means the same thing for every candidate.

Where do I manage which emails I receive?

On the Manage Notifications page. Following a job opening (the ⋮ menu on its Dashboard row) turns on email notifications for that opening — the Manage Notifications page controls which email notifications you receive overall.

I can't find something that isn't listed here. Where do I look?

Search this Help Center for the task you're trying to do. You can also contact Wonderlic support from the messenger in the corner of the screen.
