Overview
Screening questions help you quickly identify candidates who meet your must-have requirements before reviewing their full applications.
Helpful note: Pick only the questions that truly reflect your must haves, to keep completion fast for candidates.
Add screening questions to your job
Go to your main dashboard and click Add Job.
On the second page of the job creation process, you'll see the Screening Questions section.
Click Add Screening Question.
Search the question bank by keyword, remove previously added questions, or browse recommended and common categories.
Click Continue when finished.
Prioritize your questions
To mark a question as a Must Have, click View Criteria and Settings underneath the question.
You don't have to mark any questions as Must Have. Only do so if missing that answer would be a deal breaker, candidates who miss the mark will show up as a Low Fit in your job dashboard.
Drag and drop your other questions to place them in order of importance.
What you'll see
Applicants answer your screening questions as part of their application.
Answers appear directly in the candidate profile for easy sorting and filtering.
Note:For job boards that don’t support displaying questions directly within the application process, candidates will receive an automated email with a link to complete them. As a result, there may be a delay between when a candidate begins their application and when they complete the questions.
Common Questions
Can I write my own screening questions?
No. You select from the built-in question bank.
Can candidates skip screening questions?
Candidates control whether they complete every step. You can follow up with reminders to encourage completion.
Where do I see candidate responses?
Responses appear in the applicant view for that job, alongside the rest of their application details.
Will answers come in right away?
It depends. If the applicants found your job on a board that supports introducing screening questions in the apply process, they will come in with the application. If the job board doesn’t include the questions up front, it will take time for them to receive our automated email and finish their questions.
