Candidate questionnaire

What is the candidate questionnaire?

Before a candidate enters their interview, they will be prompted to add or update the information that you request in a questionnaire. The goal is to help you compile accurate contact information along with fuller profiles of your candidates.

Default candidate questionnaire

Your default candidate questionnaire is automatically applied to all of the jobs on your account unless you decide to override it when creating/editing a job.

To modify your default candidate questionnaire, go to Jobs > Default Settings > Default Questionnaire as an Administrator user on your account.

Customizing the questionnaire for a job

1. When creating a job, the 4th step is called Questionnaire.

2. To override your default questionnaire, click the toggle next to Override default questionnaire and make your desired changes.

If you're editing a job, you can modify the questionnaire for the job by opening the overview and going to the Questionnaire section.

What information can I request?

• Name: When this is turned on, candidates will be asked to confirm their name. This gives them an opportunity to make updates for name changes and/or typos.
• Email: When this is turned on, candidates will be asked to confirm their email. This gives them an opportunity to make updates if they have a new email or if there's a typo.
• Phone: This can be turned to Optional or Required. The candidate will be prompted to enter a phone number.
• Avatar: This can be turned to Optional or Required. The candidate will be prompted to add a picture.
• Resume: This can be turned to Optional or Required. The candidate will be prompted to upload a resume.

What happens when a field is set to Optional vs. Required?

Optional: The candidate will be prompted to enter this information/upload the file before starting their interview, but can skip the step.

Required: The candidate will be prompted to enter this information/upload the file before starting their interview and cannot skip the step. This means that they will not be able to enter their interview until this is finished.

We highly recommend making the questionnaire fields "Optional" just in case candidates don't have the file they want readily available on the device they're interviewing from.
