Add Questionnaire Sections

Before You Begin: This section describes how to configure screening questionnaires for a job application, this is the only type of section that you can create.

In the Section Configuration tab of Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration, you can create one or more questionnaires that can be added as sections to job application templates.

To create a questionnaire section:

  1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration.
  2. Click the Section Configuration tab.
  3. Click New.
  4. Do the following in each field:
    • Job Application Section Name: Enter a name for the job application section.
    • Description: (Optional) Enter a description of the section.
    • Allow Post-Application: Select this checkbox to use this section in post-application questionnaires. You can still include the section in job applications if you want. See Configure Post-Application Questionnaires.
    • Active: By default, the checkbox in this field is selected and the section is active. You can clear the checkbox to set the section as inactive.
    • Note: When configuring templates in the Template Configuration tab of Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration, only sections that are marked as active are displayed.
  5. In the Screening Questionnaire Configuration section of the screen, do the following:
    1. Click New.
    2. In each column, do the following to configure the question details:
      • Short Name: Select the short name of the question that you want to add. When you select a short name, the full question is automatically populated in the Screening Question/Description column.
      • Note: The options in the Short Name drop-down list are configured in the Question Configuration tab. See Configure Questions and Answers. The order in which you add questions to the list is the order that they're displayed in the job application section.
      • Response Required: (Optional) Select the checkbox to make the selected question mandatory. When selected, a red asterisk (*) is displayed next to the question in the questionnaire.
    3. Add other questions.

After saving the questionnaire section, you can configure scoring for candidate responses by clicking the Scoring button in the Screening Questionnaire Configuration section of the screen. See Configure Scoring for Questionnaires.
