Note: The enablement of the data feeds can only be done by Avionte.

The remainder of the integration is self-service, in that you can enable and configure it as long as you have your account credentials from Experian.

To enable and configure the integration, users need to have the Marketplace Admin user permission enabled.

• Users who open Experian Tax Credits from the Marketplace, without the Marketplace Admin permission, will see the following message:

Marketplace Integration Enablement

You will find the Experian integration in the Marketplace and have options to:

• • • Receive more information regarding Experian and the integration offering
    • Enable the integration yourself if you are an existing Experian Tax Credits customer and have your Experian credentials

Experian Tax Credits Account Configuration & Validation

The Experian Tax Credits Integration Settings screen first gives you the ability to enable the tax credit questionnaire and or the tax credit data feeds.

Once those configuration options are toggled to "Enabled", then additional configuration areas are dynamically displayed.

Questionnaire Configuration

Multiple Partner Account Codes can be used for the questionnaire. The Partner Account Codes along with a Configuration Name value must be entered into the Experian Marketplace tile. If you have multiple accounts set up with Experian, and they've given you your Partner Account Codes, you can configure the additional accounts in the Marketplace. 

• Enter the Experian Configuration Name and Partner Account Code, and click Add & Verify.
• If it's validated successfully, the configuration will be shown in the account list.
• Items can be edited or deleted if necessary.
• When the configuration is complete, click Save.

Validation Errors

An error will be displayed if the Partner Account Code is not valid.

Data Feed Configuration

• For employers that Experian should be receiving data feeds for, enter the Experian Account Number specific for each employer and click Save.
• Note: To ensure 100% of candidates are presented with the survey, it is a best practice to add the Experian Tax Credit Questionnaire to all application workflows and make it required.

Marketplace Audit

Changes to the integration configuration are tracked in the Marketplace Audit.

You can filter the Marketplace Audit based on the following:

• • • • • Integration
        • User
        • Date Range

Talent Experience

The talent is presented with the Experian Tax Credits questionnaire from either an onboarding task on the BOLD talent portal, or through an application workflow.

Application Workflow

The first page of the Experian Tax Credit questionnaire is a talent data form.  The fields will prefill with the talent's data if it's already been captured.

Upon clicking Next on the talent data form, the first set of questions is presented to the talent.  Based on how the talent answers the questions, they may or may not have more questions to answer.

Once they've completed the questionnaire, they will be presented with the final electronic signature page; upon clicking Next, the talent can proceed with the next step in the workflow.

 

Talent Onboarding Task

When the talent logs into their talent portal, the Experian Tax Credits onboarding task will be displayed as shown below.

Upon opening the task, the first page of the Experian Tax Credit questionnaire is a talent data form.  The fields will prefill with the talent's data if it's already been captured.

Upon clicking Next on the talent data form, the first set of questions will be presented to the talent.  Based on how the talent answers the questions, they may or may not have more questions to answer.

Once the talent has completed the questionnaire, they will be presented with the final electronic signature page.

Upon clicking Next on the electronic signature page, the talent will receive a confirmation that the task has been completed.

Duplicate Survey Scenario

Recruiters have the opportunity to assign the WOTC survey as a task to Talent as a Talent Task. If the Talent has already completed the survey during the application or at a prior time, don't worry the system will figure that out.

If it has been completed Experian confirms if the talent has completed the survey and the talent is redirected back to the task list. The WOTC task is removed from the task list.

The User can send multiple tasks to the talent, however the talent will only need to complete it once.

Manage Tax Credit Questionnaire Results

There are a few tools within BOLD that you can use to help review questionnaire results. This will help you identify en masse talent who are qualified for tax credits, etc.

Talent > Tax Screen

Once the talent completes the Experian tax credit questionnaire, their tax credit status, completion date, and estimated tax credit amount can be found on the Talent > Tax page.

If you have the Opt-Out option enabled through your account with Experian, and a talent selects to opt-out of the questionnaire, that selection is also displayed on the Talent > Tax page.

Talent Search Terms - Tax Credit Status

You can search for talent based on their tax credit status.  The talent search results screen will return talent records that have tax credit status that matches the selected search term.

Onboarding Tasks Widget

The Onboarding Tasks widget can be used to identify and manage Experian Tax Credit tasks that have been sent to talent but not yet completed, as well as those that have been completed.
