Send a Retest to an Integrated Candidate

How to send a retest invitation to a candidate who came to Wonderlic Select through your ATS (Applicant Tracking System), and what to expect in your ATS afterward.

Written by Wonderlic Product Team

Candidates who come to Wonderlic Select through your ATS (Applicant Tracking System) have the same invitation and retest tools as candidates you add in Select. You can use them from the report link in your ATS or after logging in to Select.

When you can send a retest

You can send a retest when one of a candidate's results has a retest warning. Wonderlic adds a retest warning when something may have affected a result, such as an interrupted timer or atypical responses. The flagged result shows a Retest Recommended message.

If none of the candidate's results has a retest warning, the Send Retest Invitation button does not appear.

Step 1: Open the candidate's results

Open the candidate's results in either of these ways:

  • Click the report link in your ATS and enter the access code.

  • Log in to Wonderlic Select and open the candidate.

Step 2: Click Send Retest Invitation

Click Send Retest Invitation in either place:

  • The Retest Recommended message on the flagged result.

  • The Manage Assessment Invitations panel. To open it, click the menu (the three dots) next to Contact Info, then click Manage Invitations.

Step 3: Review the note and confirm

A Confirm Retest message explains how retest results appear for integrated candidates.

  1. Read the note.

  2. Click Confirm to send the retest, or Back to cancel.

Step 4: The candidate gets the invitation

A banner confirms the retest invitation was sent. The candidate receives an email invitation for every assessment with a retest warning, and nothing else.

The retest invitation also appears in the candidate's Assessment History in Manage Assessment Invitations. Until the candidate finishes, you can copy their assessment link from the same panel and share it again.

What to expect in your ATS

Retest results do not update scores or statuses in your ATS. The original results stay there.

To see retest results, open the report link in your ATS and enter the access code, or log in to Wonderlic Select. Retest results appear there once the candidate finishes.

If you have a Wonderlic Select login, follow the candidate to get an email when the retest is complete. See Manage your Select email notifications.

View and compare results after a retest

When the retest is complete, you can switch between the original and retest versions of the candidate's results.

FAQ

Can I choose which assessments to include in the retest?

No. The retest invitation includes every assessment with a retest warning, and only those assessments.

Why don't I see the Send Retest Invitation button?

The button appears only when at least one of the candidate's results has a retest warning.

Do I need a Wonderlic Select login to send a retest?

No. You can send a retest from the report you open through your ATS with the access code. You need a login to follow the candidate for email notifications.

Will the new scores show up in my ATS?

No. Retest results appear only in the Wonderlic Select report. Your ATS keeps the original results.
