Send Post-Application Questionnaires

Before You Begin: Questionnaire sections need to be configured with the Allow Post-Application setting. See Configure Post-Application Questionnaires.

Use post-application questionnaires to gather additional information from candidates after they apply for jobs. When Dayforce users request one of these questionnaires, candidates receive emails requesting they click a link to complete their questionnaires.

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Send Post-Application Questionnaires

To send a post-application questionnaire request to a candidate:

  1. Go to the candidate's profile (or choose one or more candidates in the candidate grid) and select Contact > Send Post-Application Questionnaire.
  2. In the Send Post-Application Questionnaire dialog box, select who is sending the request (either the hiring manager or the recruiter), the questionnaire section, and the number of days before the request expires. Then click OK.

Candidates receive emails requesting that they complete the questionnaires.

If candidates answer the questionnaire more than once, the most recently answered questionnaire is kept, regardless of if it was at the profile level or the application level.

View Completed Questionnaires

You can go to a candidate's profile to see the answers for the questionnaires they completed. In the Classic Recruiter Experience, go to the Application > Questionnaires tab. In the Improved Recruiter Experience, go to the Screening > Questionnaires tab.
