Notes
Interview resume behavior
Configure interview resume withresumeAllowed and maxResumeCount when creating or updating an assessment, or when using auto-generate.
Interview closure due to network issues, tab closure, or accidental navigation
- If interview resume is enabled (
resumeAllowed: true), the candidate can resume the interview from the point where they left off. - A candidate can resume only up to the maximum resume count configured in the assessment settings (
maxResumeCount, 1–5 attempts). - If interview resume is disabled (
resumeAllowed: false), scoring is processed immediately once the interview is closed, regardless of the reason. - If interview resume is enabled and the candidate loses network connectivity or closes the tab, scoring is not processed until the candidate either resumes and submits the interview or exhausts the allowed resume attempts.
interview.scoring_completed and interview.ended webhooks are deferred until scoring runs (after the candidate finishes or uses all resume attempts).
Webhooks
To receive real-time notifications for assessments, configure a webhook URL in your partner settings. Once configured, TapTalent will send POST requests to your endpoint for the following events:
Each webhook payload includes
event, timestamp, companyId, and a data object with event-specific fields (e.g. assessmentId, submissionId, interviewStatus). Respond with a 2xx status so TapTalent does not retry the delivery. For payload details, headers, and retry behavior, see Webhook events..png?fit=max&auto=format&n=lKy84_BssSCy2hcz&q=85&s=ac7c949427cc2893306f6036415f087e)
