§ B / Troubleshooting Common issues

Solve it yourself.

Most common issues are answered below. If you don't see your problem, scroll to the contact form.

// 01

Sign-in & account

  • Q.01 I forgot my password and the reset email isn't arriving.

    Check your spam folder first — reset emails sometimes land there. If it's still missing after a few minutes, try requesting a magic link instead from the sign-in page. If your account uses SSO, password reset won't work; sign in through your identity provider. Still stuck? Send us a ticket below and include the email address you signed up with.

  • Q.02 The magic link I clicked says it's expired.

    Magic links expire for security. Request a fresh one from the sign-in page — the new link supersedes any previous ones. If multiple links keep expiring before you can click them, check whether a security tool (Outlook Safe Links, Microsoft Defender, Mimecast) is pre-fetching the URL and consuming it.

  • Q.03 I lost access to my 2FA device.

    If you saved backup codes when you enabled 2FA, use one to sign in and re-enroll a new device from your profile settings. If you don't have backup codes, open a support ticket below with the category 'Account access' — we'll verify your identity and reset 2FA manually.

  • Q.04 My account is locked after too many failed sign-in attempts.

    Locks clear automatically after a short cooldown. If you need access immediately, open a ticket with category 'Account access' and we can release the lock once we verify it's you.

Inviting candidates

  • Q.01 My candidate didn't receive their invite email.

    First, ask the candidate to check their spam folder — government and agency mail filters can be aggressive. From your end, find the candidate in the candidates list and use the resend invitation action. If multiple candidates aren't receiving invites, that's worth a ticket.

  • Q.02 The candidate said their assessment link expired.

    Use the resend invitation action on the candidates list — it issues a fresh link. The candidate should use the most recent email they received.

  • Q.03 Can the candidate request a new link themselves?

    Yes. Send them to app.readyfirst.pro/portal/request-link — they enter their email and we send a fresh assessment link.

  • Q.04 How do I invite candidates in bulk?

    On the invite page, switch to bulk mode and paste a list of email addresses — separated by commas, semicolons, spaces, or one per line. Paste straight from a spreadsheet column and the form will split them out for you. If you have a very large batch and want help loading it, open a ticket with category 'Inviting candidates'.

Reading results

  • Q.01 What do the scores mean?

    Each candidate's summary shows accuracy and reaction time across the cognitive battery's sub-tests, plus per-session breakdowns. The personality questionnaire surfaces self-report traits relevant to the role. We're working on richer interpretive guidance in the dashboard — in the meantime, if a specific score block is unclear, contact us and we'll walk you through it.

  • Q.02 My candidate finished but I don't see results yet.

    Results should appear on the candidate's profile shortly after they complete the battery. If a candidate's status is still 'In progress' well after they say they're done, open a ticket with the candidate's ID — we can check whether a session got stuck.

  • Q.03 How do I export or share results with my hiring committee?

    The candidate dashboard is the primary surface for reading results today. Self-serve CSV / PDF export isn't live yet — if you need data out for a hiring committee, open a ticket and we'll provide it. Tell us what you wish were exportable; it shapes what we build.

  • Q.04 What's the difference between the cognitive battery and the personality questionnaire?

    The cognitive battery is objectively-scored — accuracy and reaction time on tasks designed for the dispatcher role. The personality questionnaire is self-report and surfaces traits relevant to dispatcher fit. Both are part of every candidate's report; how your hiring committee weighs them is up to you.

// 04

Team & SSO

  • Q.01 How do I invite a teammate to my organization?

    From the org settings page, use the team members section to send an invite. Your teammate gets an email, accepts the invite, and lands in your organization with the role you set.

  • Q.02 How do I set up SSO for my agency?

    We support SAML SSO via the org settings → SSO page. You'll need your IdP's issuer, SAML SSO URL, and signing certificate (Okta, Microsoft Entra, and Google Workspace all expose these in their admin consoles). If you'd rather walk through it together, open a ticket with category 'Team & SSO' and we'll schedule a call.

  • Q.03 How do I remove a teammate or change their role?

    From the org settings page, find the teammate in the members list and remove them or change their role. Removing a user revokes their session.

  • Q.04 How do I transfer org ownership?

    Open a ticket with the new owner's email address — we handle ownership transfers manually to ensure both parties consent.

// 05

Billing & plans

  • Q.01 How do I switch from pay-as-you-go to a plan?

    Open a ticket with category 'Billing' and tell us which plan you want. We'll send back a checkout link for the new plan.

  • Q.02 How do I apply a promo code?

    Promo codes are applied at checkout. If you already signed up and were given a code afterward, contact us with the code and we'll see what we can do.

  • Q.03 How do I update my payment method or download an invoice?

    From the org settings page, open the Stripe customer portal — you can update payment methods and download invoices from there.

  • Q.04 How do I cancel my plan?

    You can cancel from the Stripe customer portal at the end of any billing period. If you want to pause rather than cancel — e.g. between hiring cycles — contact us and we'll see what we can arrange.

Candidate experience

  • Q.01 I'm a candidate — I lost my assessment link.

    Go to app.readyfirst.pro/portal/request-link and enter the email your hiring agency used. A fresh link will be sent within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if it doesn't appear.

  • Q.02 My internet dropped during the assessment.

    The platform autosaves your progress. Sign back in with the same link and you'll resume where you left off. If the resume page errors, request a new link from the portal and contact your hiring agency to let them know.

  • Q.03 My browser crashed mid-test.

    Re-open the assessment link. Your progress is saved through the last completed section. If you're getting stuck on the same question, try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari, all current versions). If the issue persists, your hiring agency can open a support ticket on your behalf.

  • Q.04 I need an accommodation (extended time, screen reader, alternate format).

    Contact your hiring agency first — they coordinate accommodations and work with us directly when something needs to happen on our side. For technical accessibility questions, your hiring agency can open a ticket with us.

  • Q.05 How long does the assessment take?

    Plan for 45–90 minutes depending on which modules your hiring agency selected. Take it somewhere quiet, with a stable internet connection, on a laptop or desktop.

§ C / Candidates Are you taking an assessment?

Are you a candidate, not a customer?

If you've been invited to take a ReadyFirst assessment by your hiring agency, you don't need to open a ticket here.

  • Lost your link? Request a new one →
  • Need an accommodation? Contact the agency that invited you — they coordinate accommodations.
  • Browser or technical trouble? Try Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or current Safari. If it persists, ask your hiring agency to contact us.
