Assessment
The Core Capacities Index (CCI) is a recruiting assessment from Recruiting Insight Assessments. Prospects take it from a link, and their results and hiring-profile match show on their prospect record. This tab sets up the assessment for your account: branding, custom questions, hiring profiles, notification emails, and your CCI link.
Path: Settings → Assessment
Only Admins and Owners see this tab.
First-time setup
If your account has no assessment account yet, you see a Create Assessment Account button. Click it. HiringCenter creates the assessment account and fills it in from your account details. Then continue below.

Hiring profiles
Hiring profiles describe the kind of person you want to hire. Each CCI result is matched against them to give a priority.

- Under Email Notifications, type an address and click Add Email.
- Remove an address with its x.
- Click Save Changes.
On a prospect
When a prospect completes the CCI, the results land on their record:
- Pipeline cards and conversation cards show a PRI 1, PRI 2, … badge for their best hiring-profile match. PRI 1 is the strongest match.
- A gray CCI badge means they completed the assessment but did not match a hiring profile.
- Prospect Details has a CCI section, and the summary chip jumps you there.
- Pipeline filters include CCI Priority.
- Reporting → Prospects breaks prospects down by CCI priority and can export the CCI Link.
- HiringCenter AI uses parts of the CCI report (strengths, support they'll need, interview questions) when it suggests texts, emails, and next steps.
Send or share
Copy the CCI Link from this tab to send it in a text, email, template, or on your website. Completed results are matched back to the prospect.
