Assessment API Updates - March 8, 2026

Highlights

  • 👻 Support for Background Check Providers: You can now configure your assessment integration to identify as a "background check" or "hybrid" provider. This ensures that your packages are correctly categorized and that recruiters can trigger the right workflows inside ATSs like Workday and UKG Pro that differentiate between assessments and background checks.

Other Updates

  • 📄 Coverage Updates: We've updated our documentation to more accurately reflect feature support for Recruitee, Jobvite, and SmartRecruiters.

Assessment API Updates - March 1, 2026

Highlights

  • 📎 Workday: You can now upload attachments when updating background check results. This enhancement unblocks key workflows for background check providers.

Other Updates

  • Kombo Dashboard: The "Create Assessment Order" form is now dynamically scoped based on the integration's capabilities, preventing you from filling out unsupported fields. We've also published a new guide on how to use the Assessment UI in our documentation.
  • Recruitee: Added support for a `subtitle` remote field in the `update-assessment-result` action.
  • Teamtailor: A new integration setting allows you to group assessment result attributes into nested tables, improving how they are displayed inside Teamtailor.
  • Workday: Our background check sync is now more resilient; it will skip employees without an email address instead of failing. We've also improved how we resolve application IDs, which is critical for uploading result attachments.
