Everything about Assessment Links

A comprehensive guide to Assessment Links covering what they are, their benefits, and more.

What are Assessment Links?

Assessment Links are a fully customizable self-registration experience that lets participants self-register for our assessment(s) you assign with no manual invitations required. 

Add your link to emails, texts, job ads, your website, or your ATS/HRIS portal to improve candidate engagement and reduce administrative work. Assessment Links are mobile-optimized, intuitive, and easy to use. 

Participants can register from any device, and you automatically receive the results you need to make confident hiring decisions. They require no technical expertise to set up or share, and you can create one in just a few minutes with HighMatch.

What are the Benefits of Assessment Links?

Assessment links give your participants a quick self-registration experience that works seamlessly on any device. They give you a fast, flexible way to invite participants, monitor progress, and review results all in one place.
