Send the RIASEC (Holland Codes) from Teamtailor in 15 minutes
Inside Teamtailor, RIASEC surfaces for role-positioning conversations where hiring managers want to brief candidates on expected day-to-day fit before the team-meet round. Teamtailor's career-site-first approach and modern UX pair naturally with RIASEC because the six-domain framework is readable for SMB recruiting teams and resonates with candidates looking for role-fit guidance. The code labels (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) are accessible without psychometric training. Teamtailor stage-automation can surface RIASEC codes to candidates on the career page to increase self-selection and reduce downstream mismatches.
Validity
RIASEC maps career-fit preferences. Predictive validity for role-fit and satisfaction is moderate (ρ ≈ .25).

Add the JobCannon Teamtailor integration
From Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving Teamtailor.
Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your Teamtailor 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.
