Send the DISC from SmartRecruiters in 5 minutes

Inside SmartRecruiters' Hiring Success framework, DISC surfaces as a team-composition signal within customer-success and account-management pipelines. SmartRecruiters customers use the platform's programmatic-hiring engine to consume DISC profiles and match high-competing candidates with high-collaborating teams, reducing early-tenure conflict and improving 90-day retention. The four-letter profile lands on the SmartRecruiters scorecard as a structured data field; panelists read the profile before team-meet rounds and calibrate interview questions to communication-style fit. The five-minute completion makes DISC acceptable for high-volume mid-market hiring without friction.

Validity

DISC maps four observable behaviour styles. Meta-analytic correlation with job performance is modest (~.10-.15).

Send the DISC from SmartRecruiters

From SmartRecruiters admin to first scored candidate.

  1. 1

    Add the JobCannon SmartRecruiters integration

    From SmartRecruiters 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. 2

    Create a SmartRecruiters 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 SmartRecruiters scorecard — no provider-specific glue needed.

  3. 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 SmartRecruiters email and completes the 5-minute form on mobile or desktop.

  4. 4

    View the score envelope in the candidate profile

    The full DISC score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the SmartRecruiters candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving SmartRecruiters.

Sample score envelope

The exact JSON shape your SmartRecruiters scorecard receives back. Every JobCannon assessment uses the same dimensions[].score envelope so ranking logic stays consistent across tests.
