Job boards
Care, hospitality, finance, trades, retail, education and every other niche. Add "test this applicant" next to the application, so your employers shortlist on evidence rather than on CVs alone.
Add hiring tests to your product
Job boards, HR and payroll tools, franchise and staffing software and training providers can offer "test this applicant" through our API, under their brand or ours. Pay a partner rate per result, or earn 25% for as long as your users pay us. No meetings, no minimums, a sandbox from day one.
Read the developer docs
Build first, apply when it works.
Who it is for
Products that already sit between an employer and an applicant, and could offer a test at the right moment.
HR and payroll tools
Small-business HR, applicant tracking and payroll systems with a hiring step. A test becomes one more stage in the pipeline you already run.
Franchise and staffing software
Franchise systems hiring for hundreds of sites, and staffing or labour-hire platforms vetting workers before a shift or a placement.
Training providers
Apprenticeship providers, bootcamps and job-placement programmes that screen learners for employers, and want a measured result to put in front of them.
What you get
Every test, through the API
The whole library: aptitude, personality, soft skills, software, coding, typing and language tests, in 14 languages. List them, build an assessment, invite a candidate and receive the result, all from your own code. Read the developer documentation.
Results where you need them
Signed webhooks the moment a candidate finishes or a score unlocks, a report page and a share link for every candidate, and a polling API if you prefer. Zapier and Make too, for customers who do not code.
Your brand or ours
Candidates can see your logo and colour on the invitation, the tests and the hub, or Test Candidates throughout. Your choice, per workspace.
A sandbox from day one
Sign up as normal and create a sandbox key. Test candidates sit real tests and fire real webhooks, but are never charged and never mix with live data. No call, no contract to start building.
Nothing to resell up front
No minimum, no setup fee, no annual commitment. You pay, or your users pay, per candidate result, exactly as every other customer does. Customers you introduce start with 25 free results instead of 5.
Honest about what is missing
There is no white-label domain and no native ATS marketplace listing yet. What is on this page works today; what is not, we would rather tell you than have you plan around it.
Two ways to work with us
Pick whichever fits how your product charges. Both use the same API and the same tests. Prices are plus tax where it applies.
Route 1
You pay us, you set the price
Your product holds the Test Candidates workspace and the key. Your users never see our checkout. We bill your workspace monthly for the candidates whose results were unlocked, at the partner rate:
US$8 per candidate result, £8, €8, A$13
One charge per candidate however many tests they sit. What you charge your users is up to you. Results for your first 5 candidates are free, as for every workspace.
Ask for the partner rate when you apply; support switches your workspace to it. Until then a new workspace is billed at the public price.
Route 2
Your users pay us, you earn 25%
Send your users to Test Candidates with your partner link. Each one gets their own workspace at the public price, US$15 per candidate result, and because you introduced them their first 25 results are free, with no card. You receive 25% of what they pay, for as long as they keep paying.
Attribution is recorded on the workspace the moment they sign up through your link, and your statement shows sign-ups, results and commission by month. Commission is paid by bank transfer while our automated payout is being finished.
Your link is https://www.testcandidates.com/?partner=your-code. The code is remembered for 30 days, so a user who signs up later still counts.
The plain-English terms for both routes are on one page: partner terms.
Start building today
Create a free account
No card. Confirm your email, open Integrations and create a sandbox key.
Run the quick start
Ten minutes with curl: list tests, create an assessment, invite yourself, sit a short test, receive the webhook and fetch the result. The quick start.
Tell us about your product
Email us when you are ready to go live, or before, if you want the partner rate or a partner link. We reply by email, usually within a working day.
To apply, email support@testcandidates.com with "Partner application" in the subject and tell us: your product and website, which of the two routes you want, the country you sell in, and roughly how many candidates a month you expect. That is all we need to set you up.
Partner questions
Do we need a meeting or a contract to start?
No. Sign up, build against the sandbox and go live when it works. The partner terms apply from the day we confirm your partner status by email.
Can we charge our users whatever we like?
On route 1, yes. You pay the partner rate and set your own price. On route 2 your users pay our public price directly to us, and you earn 25% of it for as long as they pay.
Who owns the candidate data?
On route 1, your workspace does, under your agreement with your users, and we process it on your instructions. On route 2, each user's own workspace does. Our security and data protection page says where data is held and for how long.
Can each of our customers have their own branded workspace?
Yes. A workspace can carry a logo and colour, and every workspace has its own key. Creating workspaces for your customers through the API is not available yet; today each one signs up, or you hold one workspace for all of them.
Which tests and languages?
Every test in the library, in all 14 languages we support. The catalogue is the same for every workspace and the API lists it.
How are results priced if a candidate sits several tests?
One charge per candidate per assessment, however many tests are in it. A candidate on two different assessments is two results.
