Accept an assessment invitation

A recruiter invited you to a technical assessment on Klastro. This guide takes you from the invitation email to the assessment lobby, where you start your scenarios.

What you need: the invitation email, a recent browser on a computer and a stable internet connection. You need no plan and no credits.

1. Open the link in the email

You don’t have an account yet

The email contains a link to activate your account.

1. Open the link. The Access your account page appears.

2. Enter the email address the invitation was sent to and click Send code.

3. Enter the Verification code from the email, then click Verify & continue.

4. On Welcome to the platform 🎉, check your details, choose a password and click Activate account.

You already have an account

The email contains a link to your invitations in the inviting organization. Open it and sign in if needed.

The first time you sign in, accept the terms of use with Accept and continue (see Create an account and sign in).

If several organizations have invited you, the Your Organizations page appears: pick the one whose invitations you want to see.

2. Accept the invitation

The Your Invitations page lists all your invitations, headed by the number that are Pending, Accepted and Expired. Each invitation shows when you received it and when it expires.

1. Find the invitation for the assessment you were told about.

2. Click Accept. The message Invitation accepted! confirms it.

3. Click the eye-shaped button on that invitation to open its details.

Expiry date

An invitation has a deadline, set by the recruiter — seven days by default. After it passes, the invitation shows as expired and can no longer be started: ask the organization for a new one. When less than a week is left, the invitation page shows Expiring Soon.

3. Read the details before you start

The invitation page shows:

• the assessment Duration, the number of Scenarios and whether the Webcam is Required or Optional;
• the list of Assessment Scenarios, with their estimated time;
• the Important Information box.

The timer does not stop

Once started, the timer cannot be paused. If the assessment has several scenarios, one timer covers all of them. Set aside the stated duration of uninterrupted time before you start.

Klastro does not ask for access to your camera; follow the recruiter’s instructions. See Webcam and permissions.

4. Start and enter the lobby

1. Click Start Assessment. Klastro takes you to the assessment lobby.

2. If the assessment must be authorized by a recruiter, the lobby shows Waiting for Authorization. Stay on the page: your scenarios are prepared as soon as it is authorized.

3. The lobby prepares each scenario: Reserve environment, Start machines, Install scenario. A counter shows how many are ready.

4. When every scenario shows Ready, click Enter on the scenario you want to start with.

The timer starts when you enter

The global assessment countdown does not start until you enter your first scenario. Take your time to settle in the lobby. You can complete the scenarios in any order you prefer.

You are now in the lab. What is specific to assessments — the timer, moving from one scenario to the next, completing the assessment — is covered in Assessment mode.

Resume an assessment you started

If you left the page part-way through, go back to the invitation page: it shows Assessment in progress, and Resume Assessment takes you back to the lobby. The timer kept running in the meantime.

Once the assessment is over, the page button reads Assessment Completed; your results are processed and sent to the recruiter, and your score may show on this page.

If something goes wrong

• Invitation Revoked or Invitation Expired: contact the organization that invited you.
• The lobby shows Could not be prepared for a scenario: contact the recruiter who invited you.
• Anything else: Invitation problems and Lab won’t start.
