Send the RIASEC (Holland Codes) from Bullhorn in 15 minutes
Inside Bullhorn, RIASEC surfaces as a long-term-placement-stability signal. Bullhorn agencies use RIASEC codes to identify candidates likely to sustain placement longevity and reduce churn. Certain RIASEC combinations predict stability in agency-recruiter roles themselves (high-R, high-I codes), operations roles, and financial-services placements. The six-domain profile is lightweight enough to surface for all candidates without friction. Agencies advise candidates on role-environment fit based on RIASEC-code alignment with placement-type profiles.
Validity
RIASEC maps career-fit preferences. Predictive validity for role-fit satisfaction is moderate (ρ ≈ .25).

From Bullhorn admin to first scored candidate.

Add the JobCannon Bullhorn integration
From Bullhorn admin settings, add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner. Paste your Basic Auth credentials (sandbox first, production after the first test cycle). One-time setup, takes 3 minutes.
- 2
Create a Bullhorn scorecard mapped to RIASEC (Holland Codes) dimensions
In your job template, create a scorecard section per RIASEC (Holland Codes) dimension. Each dimension maps 1:1 to a numeric attribute on the Bullhorn scorecard — no provider-specific glue needed.
- 3
Trigger the RIASEC (Holland Codes) on the candidate's stage transition
Add "Send RIASEC (Holland Codes)" as an automatic action when candidates enter the assessment stage. The candidate receives a co-branded Bullhorn email and completes the 15-minute form on mobile or desktop.

View the score envelope in the candidate profile
The full RIASEC (Holland Codes) score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the Bullhorn candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving Bullhorn.
Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your Bullhorn webhook, so the field names and types below are the ones you will parse. The candidate and the answers are a worked example; the numbers are illustrative, not a benchmark.
dimensions[].score is 0–100 within this test’s own scale. It is safe to rank candidates on one dimension of one test, and it is not a percentile unless metadata.score_metric says so — today only Big Five publishes percentiles, against norms whose sample size and pull date travel in the same envelope. Scores from two different tests are not comparable to each other.
