## Description

Qualified.io connects your assessment platform to your AI client so you can handle the entire technical hiring pipeline without switching tabs. Instead of digging through a dashboard to see if a candidate finished a coding test, you just ask your agent. You can create new assessments, publish them, or organize candidates into specific cohorts for easier tracking. When a candidate finishes, you can pull their performance exhibit to see exactly where they excelled or struggled during the challenge. If someone needs a do-over, you can schedule a retry or terminate a result with a simple command. It turns your AI into a technical recruiting coordinator that keeps your pipeline moving. This is one of the many specialized tools available in the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your existing workflow. You get to move from manual data entry to natural language commands, whether you're reviewing scores or managing large-scale hiring cohorts. You can see the full list of assessments or challenges at any time. You can also send invitations to candidates one by one or use cohorts to blast out invites to entire groups of people at once. This removes the need to copy and paste candidate emails into your assessment tool. You get a clear view of your hiring funnel and can manage the lifecycle of every test from creation to archiving.

## Capabilities

### Create and manage coding assessments
Build new tests and manage their lifecycle from publication to archiving.

### Send invitations to candidates
Invite candidates to take assessments individually or as part of a cohort.

### Retrieve performance exhibits
Pull specific data on candidate strengths and weaknesses instantly.

### Manage candidate cohorts
Organize and manage groups of candidates for easier hiring workflows.

### Schedule assessment retries
Let candidates retake tests or reopen results with a simple command.

### Archive old assessments
Move finished assessments to your archive to keep your active list clean.

## Use Cases

### Bulk Invites
A recruiter needs to invite 50 candidates to a Frontend Engineer test. They ask the agent to use `invite_candidates_via_cohort` to send them all at once.

### Quick Review
An engineering manager wants to see how a candidate did on a specific test. They ask the agent to fetch the `get_assessment_result_exhibit` for a quick summary.

### Pipeline Cleanup
A talent ops person wants to hide old tests. They ask the agent to `archive_assessment` for all last year's tests to keep the dashboard clean.

### Candidate Support
A candidate asks for a retake of their coding test. The recruiter asks the agent to `schedule_retry_assessment_result` to give them another chance.

## Benefits

- Stop tab-switching by pulling assessment results and exhibits directly into your AI client. You can see candidate performance without leaving your current workspace.
- Save time on manual outreach by using `invite_candidates` or `invite_candidates_via_cohort` to reach groups quickly. This cuts out the need to copy and paste emails.
- Review candidate performance faster with `get_assessment_result_exhibit` to see specific strengths and weaknesses. It helps you make faster hiring decisions.
- Keep your pipeline organized by using `list_assessment_cohorts` to group candidates by role or experience. This makes managing large hiring cycles much easier.
- Handle edge cases easily by using `schedule_retry_assessment_result` or `terminate_assessment_result` without manual portal edits. It keeps your data accurate.
- Maintain a clean workspace by using `archive_assessment` and `unpublish_assessment` to hide old content. This ensures your active list stays relevant.
