Where can I find more information about the different features of a TalentCentral™ project?

On the TalentCentral™ platform creating a project is the end-to-end process of setting up a test, adding candidates and sending out invitations.
You will require administrator user login details to create a project. If you do not have login details, please contact your company administrator for assistance.

Follow the below steps to create a project using the TalentCentral™ platform:
Log in to your TalentCentral™ account using your email address as the username and the password will be the one you created when registering on the system. If you cannot remember your password use the Forgot password link.
The Homepage is the first page you will see when logging in.
From the menu bar at the top of your screen select Create New and click on Project.



The Basic Settings* area will be displayed. Only fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

Click on Products* where you will have two tabs to choose from:
If you wish to use a previously created Assessment Profile, click on the circle next to the name of the Assessment Profile. If you do not see this displayed on the first page you can use the Search field to look it up. Click on the arrow symbol to see which tests have been chosen for each Assessment Profile. Your Selected Assessment Profile will be displayed on the right side of the page. What is an Assessment Profile and how can I set one up? (TalentCentral™)
​Alternatively, you can choose the Select Manually tab to add individual tests to the project. There are search filters on the page to help you find a test. Click on the test name under Search Results to display further information about the test and, if applicable, specify the test level, language and comparison group. Click on Add to assign a test to your project. You may be prompted to select related items, if applicable. Click on Done when you have made your choice. Your Selected Products will be displayed on the right side of the page. Repeat this step until all your required products have been added to the project.

When you have finished selecting your products, click on Users*.
Click on the name of the User Groups you want to add to the project. If you are only assigned to one User Group it will automatically be selected.​
Click on See Users to see who will have access to the project. What is a User Group and how can I create one? (TalentCentral™)
You can Search for individual users, who are not part of the User Group, on the right side of the page and add them to the project by clicking on +Add when their name appears in the list.

​Click on Candidates* where you will be given four options for adding the individuals you wish to assess.
Under Add individual candidates enter your candidate's title, first and last names and their email address.
Select the language you want for the email invitation.
Click on +Add.

Repeat this step until all your candidates have been added to the project.

If you would prefer to upload all your candidates in one go, all you need are the candidates' first and last names and their email addresses and then you can use our Bulk Import feature. How do I use the Bulk Import feature on the TalentCentral™ platform?
If you do not yet have the names of your candidates, you can generate a number of test links at the set-up stage by clicking on Add individual unknown candidates and entering the number of links you need.
If you want candidates to be able to self-register for an assessment, you can create a project and enable the Multiple Use Link option in the Candidate section. Click on Enable Multiple Use Link and enter the number of candidates you want to allow to register. This is useful if you want to advertise a job opening on your company website. What is a Multiple Use link and how do I create one? (TalentCentral™)

You can choose any of the above ways to add candidates to your project or you can combine them within the same project.

The following steps are optional. If you wish to proceed without carrying out these steps, please refer to the Final steps section of the article to send out your test links:

Click on Notifications
Under Select the email notification preferences for this project, you can select the following options:

Send notification to the project Creator - if you would like to receive a notification when your candidate completes their assessments
Send notification to all users who are assigned to the project – if you would like all users to receive a notification when your candidate completes their assessment

Under Select preferences for receiving BCC of emails sent to candidates, you can select the following options:

BCC project Creator – if you would like to receive a copy of all emails sent to your candidate
BCC all users who are assigned to the project – if you would like all users to receive a copy of all emails sent to your candidate
BCC the following email address – a new field will appear to the right where you can enter the specific email address and a copy of all emails sent to your candidate will also be sent to that address

Click on Emails

The Email alias selected will be TalentCentral, unless otherwise specified.
In the Assessment Invitation, select your email template from the dropdown. Invitation emails will be sent out when you create the project.
You can also set as many reminders as you would like. In the reminder 1, select your email template from the dropdown. Click on Reminder Date to choose a date on the calendar or click on Days before Project Deadline and enter the number. The latest reminder is the last one that can still be adjusted.

Final steps
You can review the choices you have made for the whole project by looking at the section headers. If you need to make changes to any of the sections, click on the section header to expand it and make the necessary adjustments.

When you are satisfied that all the information in the project is correct, click on Create Project at the top or bottom of the project set-up page. Once you click on Create Project, the invitation emails are sent out to the named candidates on the project.
