The second half of the application form provides the option to add custom questions. All custom questions are mandatory and they require a response from the candidate. You can choose from the following question types:
Paragraph: These questions are designed to be answered in the form of a sentence or paragraph. Common uses include requesting links to work samples, assessment questions, or open-ended, essay-style responses.
Short answer: Limited to 128 characters, short answer questions are best suited for cases where multiple-choice options may be too restrictive or when you need a concise, free-text response. Common examples include: “What is your strongest skill?”, “What is your favorite movie?”, or “Describe yourself in 100 characters.
Yes/No: Select ‘Use requirements as questions’ to convert the job requirements into yes or no questions. You can edit the generated questions, add new ones, and choose to automatically disqualify candidates based on a “No” response.
Dropdown: Allows candidates to select an answer from a dropdown menu. This option is useful when there are multiple short answers that would take up too much space as a standard multiple-choice question.
Multiple choice: Allows you to add multiple answer options. You can choose whether candidates can select only one answer or multiple answers.
Date: Allows candidates to select a date from a calendar. Common uses include requesting a potential start date or identifying when a certification or license was obtained.
Number: Restricts responses to numeric values only. Common uses include asking about current salary or years of experience.
File upload: Ask the applicant to attach a file. This is useful for collecting portfolios or other documentation that would not be included in a resume or cover letter. Check here for the accepted file types.
