Set up your instance - Amazon Connect Talent

Set up your instance

After you create your Amazon Connect Talent instance, configure it for your recruiting team. Complete the following steps to get your instance ready for use.

Important

Before you can complete internal testing or send evaluations to candidates, complete both of the following:

  1. Move Amazon SES out of sandbox mode. See Move Amazon SES out of sandbox mode.

  2. Set your service quotas to the values you need. Review Service quotas and endpoints for Amazon Connect Talent and use the values in the tables to request any quota increases before you send evaluations.

  1. Set up your security profile – The default TechAdmin profile does not include permissions for hiring setup or candidate review. If you need full access to all Amazon Connect Talent features during setup, edit the TechAdmin profile to enable all permission categories, or create a new security profile with all permissions. For more information, see Manage security profiles and roles.

  2. Add users – Add your recruiting team members and assign each user a security profile that matches their role. You can add users individually or import them in bulk from a CSV file. For more information, see Manage users.

  3. Upload your knowledge base – Upload your company values, principles, and mission to a knowledge base before you create evaluations. Amazon Connect Talent draws on your knowledge base when selecting competencies for evaluations. For more information, see Manage knowledge bases.

  4. Configure branding – Personalize the candidate experience with your organization's name, logo, and colors. For more information, see Configure branding.

  5. Configure disclosures – Add any legal disclosures that candidates see before they start an evaluation. Consult your legal counsel to determine what disclosures are required for your organization. For more information, see Configure disclosures.

  6. Create your first evaluation – You're ready to create an evaluation. For step-by-step instructions, see Managing evaluations in the Amazon Connect Talent User Guide.

  7. Test your evaluation – Before sending evaluations to candidates, test the evaluation by sending it to yourself or your team. For more information, see Testing Amazon Connect Talent in the Amazon Connect Talent User Guide.

  8. Connect your ATS (coming soon) – When available, connect your applicant tracking system to sync jobs and candidates automatically.
