You can score responses in application questionnaires so that you can more easily identify the top candidates for a job requisition. Question scoring is configured in Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration, in the Section Configuration tab.
Scoring questions in the Section Configuration tab rather than the Question Configuration tab allows you to reuse the same questions in more than one section with different scoring.
To configure scoring:
- Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration and click the Section Configuration tab.
- In the Job Application Sections list, select a questionnaire.
- In the Screening Questionnaire Configuration section toolstrip, click Scoring. Dayforce opens a dialog box in which you can configure the scores for each possible answer in the section.
- In the Score column, enter a point value for each answer.
- Note: You can add scores only for questions that are marked as required. Adding scores to these questions isn’t mandatory. You can leave required questions unscored, if needed.
- Click Assign. Once configured, you can add sections with scoring to job application templates in the Template Configuration tab. See Configure Job Application Templates.
