Purpose

This document explains how Live Coding tools (formerly known as assessment tools) integration with the Eightfold scheduling product works. After reading this document, customers will understand the capabilities of this integration and how to use it.

Audience

This document is directed toward users of the Talent Acquisition (TA) product, specifically recruiters.

Feature context and objective

With the Live Coding tools integrated into the Scheduling module, the process of generating the Live Coding links and embedding them in the interview details sent to the candidate and the interviewer(s) becomes seamless. This eliminates the need for the Recruiters/Schedulers to manually generate these links outside the EF platform and paste back while scheduling the interviews.

Prerequisites

In order for an Live Coding tool to integrate with the scheduling product, you must have installed the tool from the Eightfold Marketplace:

1. Go to https://app.eightfold.ai/app_marketplace.
2. Select the app you want to install.
3. Select Install.

Configurations and Gates

To access this feature, "enable_live_coding_tools" must be set to enabled in the Admin Console as shown below. The default is “false”.

Path: Admin Console > Talent Acquisition > Scheduling > Preferences

If a “TA Assessments” category app is installed from the app marketplace, the app will automatically appear in the Live Coding section, and if no apps are installed, only the custom link option will be available.

Feature overview

If the user has at least one TA Assessment app installed, a new section called “Live Coding” appears in the Scheduling wizard below the “Conferencing” options, as shown below.

The Live Coding dropdown lists only the installed TA assessment apps. The user can choose from the listed apps or create a custom live coding link using the “Custom Link” option in the dropdown.

Once an Live Coding tool is selected, the Eightfold system fetches a unique interview link from the live coding service and embeds the link into the interview invitation emails sent out to the candidate and the interviewer(s).

The Live Coding link is displayed under the Meeting Details section for each meeting from the Scheduling Center.

Scheduling templates

For easy access while scheduling, the Live Coding option can also be preselected in the Scheduling Templates tab of My Account, as shown below.
