Send the DISC from Lever in 5 minutes
When the Lever adapter ships (target H2 2026), DISC will be the easiest test to fire from Lever's coordination-first workflow — five-minute completion, no calibration overhead. Lever's Feedback Forms API is well-suited to DISC because the test output (two-letter primary profile plus narrative) reads like an interview note rather than a scorecard rubric — perfect for the panel-coordination context where Lever shines. The integration plan: candidateStageChange webhook fires when a candidate reaches the team-meet stage, JobCannon emails the DISC, and the resulting feedback form lands on the candidate profile before the panel meets. Coordinator-facing dashboards summarise team composition risk across the active pipeline.
Validity
DISC measures observable behaviour patterns (dominance, influence, steadiness, conscientiousness) rather than performance predictors. Its meta-analytic correlation with job performance is modest (~.10-.15, lower than Big Five). Use it inside Lever for team-fit and communication-style mapping at the interview-feedback stage, not as a primary hiring filter.

Add the JobCannon Lever integration
From Lever 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 Lever scorecard mapped to DISC dimensions
In your job template, create a scorecard section per DISC dimension. Each dimension maps 1:1 to a numeric attribute on the Lever scorecard — no provider-specific glue needed.
- 3
Trigger the DISC on the candidate's stage transition
Add "Send DISC" as an automatic action when candidates enter the assessment stage. The candidate receives a co-branded Lever email and completes the 5-minute form on mobile or desktop.
- 4
View the score envelope in the candidate profile
The full DISC score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the Lever candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving Lever.
Sample score envelope
The exact JSON shape your Lever scorecard receives back. Every JobCannon assessment uses the same dimensions[].score envelope so ranking logic stays consistent across tests.

Run a different cut on the same candidate by sending one of these from the same Lever pipeline.
Big Five (OCEAN)
personality test
Big Five conscientiousness has the strongest meta-analytic link to job performance of any single personality dimension — corrected ρ ≈ .31 across 117 studies (Barrick & Mount 1991, Personnel Psychology). The NEO-PI-R is the gold-standard instrument and forms the basis of JobCannon's 50-item adaptation, which returns five normalised dimension scores per candidate.

EQ (Emotional Intelligence)
emotional intelligence assessment
Emotional intelligence shows incremental predictive validity over cognitive ability and Big Five for jobs with high emotional-labour demands — corrected ρ ≈ .24 for customer-facing and people-management roles (Joseph & Newman 2010, Journal of Applied Psychology, k=88). Less informative for back-office, technical, or independent-contributor roles.

Cognitive Ability (IQ)
cognitive ability test
General cognitive ability (g) is the strongest single predictor of job performance documented in I/O psychology — corrected ρ ≈ .51 in Schmidt & Hunter's 85-year meta-analysis (1998, Psychological Bulletin), with validity scaling up as role complexity rises. Cognitive tests also carry the highest EEOC adverse-impact risk; pair with structured-interview evidence and document job-relatedness before the first hire decision uses the score.

Frequently asked
When does the Lever integration ship?+
Target H2 2026. The architectural complexity of Lever's webhook + Feedback Forms pattern (no dedicated Assessment API) is the reason for the later ship date relative to Greenhouse / Ashby / Workable.
Can I send DISC from Lever today?+
Not via a native integration. Bridge today via the JobCannon REST API: listen to your Lever candidateStageChange webhook, POST a DISC invitation to JobCannon, and write the score back to Lever's Feedback Forms API in your own bridge code. Reference implementation available on request.
How does DISC appear on the Lever candidate profile?+
As a structured Feedback Form titled "DISC Assessment." The form contains the two-letter primary profile, four dimension scores (D/I/S/C 0-100), and a 1-paragraph narrative. Interviewers and coordinators see it inline with the rest of the candidate's feedback in Lever's panel coordination view.
Is DISC EEOC-defensible for Lever hiring?+
DISC is defensible as a team-fit input rather than a primary hiring filter. The ~.15 predictive-validity ceiling is too low to anchor a hire-decline decision without other inputs. Keep DISC as one panel input among many in Lever's coordination model — never the sole disqualifier.
How long does DISC take?+
Median candidate completion is 5 minutes on JobCannon's 24-item forced-choice form. Tied with conflict styles for the fastest assessment in the catalog.
How do I express interest in early access?+
