To save time when ordering a large number of candidate assessments, SHL Online allows you to upload all the details at the same time. This option can be found on the Project Candidates page.



Here you click on Download Import Template.



When prompted with “Do you want to open or save Candidate.csv”? select Open.

Please enter the candidates’ first name, last name, email address and the language code. (The language code specifies which language the invitation email will be sent in. A list of language codes is available under the ? symbol). Please ensure you do not include any spaces before or after entering the information.

When you have entered all the candidates’ details you should save your files in a CSV format.

To do this go to File – Save As – click on the location you wish to save the file to. In our example we chose to save it to our Desktop. This makes it easier to find again later when uploading the candidate information to the Self-service system.

When you are ready to upload your candidates return to SHL Online and choose to Browse… for the file containing your candidates’ information. Select the file and click Open. Now the file should be shown in the File field, click on Import File.

The system will not allow you to reassign an assessment to a new candidate if the original candidate has already accessed the system.

To reassign an assessment, you will need to update the candidate information on the Project Details page. Once logged in, select My SHL located beneath the SHL logo. A drop-down menu will appear where you need to click on My Projects. Clicking on the project name will show you a list of all the candidates on that order.

To check and change candidate details, please follow the below steps:

  • You should be able to see a drop-down on the right side of every candidate, called Action.
  • In this drop-down menu select View Candidate next to the candidate you wish to update.
  • If the candidate details are greyed out and you cannot select any details, it means this candidate has already opened the assessment home page and the test has been used.
  • If this is not the case, you can now change the first name, last name and email address and click on Save as new to confirm the new candidate details.
  • Click on the Action drop-down next to the candidate and select Send/resend Invites.


If you are only changing the candidate's name and wish to resend the assessment, please tell your candidate to use the most recent link sent to them. This is to ensure the system will process and display their assessment responses against the updated name.

We apply monthly performance-related maintenance activities to all SHL systems. Each of the maintenance periods will require downtime during which there will be no access for candidates or administrators. The system maintenance windows are scheduled out of normal business hours to minimise the impact on our clients and candidates. 
You can check when these are scheduled by clicking on the Scheduled Maintenance widget on the right side of this page. You will not be able to access the system or complete assessments when it is unavailable due to maintenance activities. If you attempt to access the system during scheduled maintenance a system notification will appear with information of the time and date that the system will be available again.

If you log back into the system after scheduled maintenance but are still receiving the maintenance notification, clear your browser history and cookies. Once you have done this, restart your browser and access the assessment as per the original instructions.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with your local Technical Support team by clicking on the Contact Form widget on the right side of this page.
