Configure Questions and Answers

In Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration, in the Question Configuration tab, you can create and manage a list of screening questions that can be included in custom questionnaires:

List of screening questions in the Question Configuration tab.

When configuring these questions, you can choose from several different answer types. For more information about the available options, see Answer Types.

You can also set up answers that trigger a status update automatically. For example, you can auto-decline a candidate based on their answer to a screening questionnaire, if needed.

In the Question Configuration tab, you can do the following:

You can localize questions and answers so that candidates who access the site using a different culture setting can see these elements in the correct language. See Localize Job Application Templates.

You can use the Post-Application column to mark questions as applicable for post-application questionnaires that can be sent to candidates after they apply to jobs. See Configure Post-Application Questionnaires.

Important: Do not create screening questions that gather Personal Identifiable Information (PII), such as date of birth or national ID number. You should only collect PII after a candidate has accepted their job offer. For their users' security, third-party sites such as Indeed might prevent collection of PII, and further might block all of your job postings if your screening questions ask for this information. After candidates accept their job offers, you can gather required PII using pre-hire questionnaires or through your background screening provider.
