Finishing the assessment doesn't automatically give an employee their results - releasing the results is what sends them their invitation and opens their report.
Overview
Every employee on the Employees page carries a status showing where they are in the process. The one to watch is Pending: the employee has finished the assessment, but their results haven't been released yet.
Until you release them, that employee can't see anything - and they can't sign in either, because their Wonderlic Develop account is created when their results are released. This is why an employee who has finished may tell you they can't log in at all. Releasing their results fixes both at once.
You'll need to be an account owner or admin to release or share results.
Release results
Go to Employees.
Find the employee you want. Their status will read Pending.
Open the actions menu at the end of their row.
Choose Release Results.
Confirm by choosing Release.
Release several people at once
Select the checkboxes next to everyone you want to release, then choose Release Results from the actions above the table. Everyone you select has to be waiting on release - if your selection includes someone who has already been released or hasn't finished the assessment yet, the option won't appear.
Release results automatically
You can skip this step entirely for future employees. When you send an assessment invitation, leave Automatically share employee reports when available checked and their results will be released as soon as they're ready.
This option is checked by default, and it's set for each person as you invite them rather than once for your whole account.
Resend results
If an employee has lost their link or needs a fresh copy, open their actions menu and choose Resend Results. This sends them the link again and refreshes their report with their latest scores. Their status stays Released.
Resending is done one person at a time.
Share results with someone else
You can give a colleague access to an employee's results.
Open the employee's actions menu and choose Share Results.
Enter the email address of the person you want to share with.
Choose Share. Their name will appear so you can check you've got the right person.
Choose Share again, then Confirm.
You can only share with people already in your account, and the recipient gets ongoing access to that employee's results rather than a one-time copy.
Check the name before you confirm. Sharing can't be undone from within Wonderlic Develop, so use the name that appears at step 3 to make sure you have the right colleague. If you do share by mistake, contact support.
What to expect
Once you release results, the employee receives an email with a link to their report. If they've never used Wonderlic Develop before, that link walks them through creating a password first.
If the employee has a manager assigned, their manager gets access at the same time - you don't need to share separately. If you assign or change an employee's manager later on, the new manager gets access to results that were already released, and the previous manager loses it.
FAQ
An employee finished days ago but says they can't see anything.
Check their status on the Employees page. If it reads Pending, their results haven't been released - release them and they'll get their link.
Their status looks right, but there's no option to release.
This usually means their job title hasn't matched a job profile yet. Look for a warning on their job title, confirm the title, and the release option will appear.
The employee says they can't log in at all.
That's expected before results are released - their account is created at that point. Releasing their results sends the invitation that lets them set a password.
Who can see an employee's results?
The employee, your account's owners and admins, the employee's assigned manager, and anyone you've specifically shared them with including coaches. Results can't be shared outside your account.
Can I turn off automatic release for everyone?
Not with a single setting - it's a choice you make on each invitation. If you'd like an account-wide option, let your Customer Success Manager know.
Can I undo a share?
Not from within Wonderlic Develop. Manager access moves automatically when you change an employee's manager, but any other share needs support's help to remove.
Can I resend results to several people at once?
No - resending is one person at a time. Releasing for the first time can be done in bulk.
