Introduction
Create screening questions at a company level or a job level.
When you create screening questions in Company Settings, they are automatically applied to all future job posts. Any future changes you make will also apply to new job posts.
Creating or editing questions at a job level allows you to customise questionnaires to suit the requirements of each advertised job role.

Creating Screening Questions for all Jobs
To configure screening questions for all the jobs in your company:
Go to Dashboard > Your Hiring Preferences widget > Hiring Preferences.
Click Edit to go to the Hiring Preferences section of your Company Settings.
In the Hiring Process section, select Edit at the far right of Screening Questions.
Scroll to the bottom of the Screening Questions page.
Here, you can add questions in two ways:
Using Presets.
Selecting the Add New Question Type dropdown.
Presets
Presets are default commonly used questions that are displayed for quick access. Click on the preset to add the question to your list.
If a preset has already been added, it displays a ✔️ tick and appears greyed out. Available presets remain coloured and show a ➕ plus icon.
Add Button
Select Add a new question type and choose the required question type from the dropdown.
A new blank question of that type will appear at the end of the list, ready for you to complete.
Enter your question in the available text field.
Configure the question as needed:
Mark the question as Required.
Make it a Killer Question.
Set up Qualifying Answers for Multi-select or Single-select question types.
Set up Ideal answers for Numeric and Yes/No question types.
Add Follow-up questions to your original Yes/No, Single-select and Multi-select questions.
💡 Tip: Click on any of the links in this step to read more about each listed option.
Use the 🔼 🔽 arrows to the left of a question, or drag-and-drop it, to change its position within the questionnaire.
Select Save Changes.
🎉 From now on, new applications for all jobs will show the screening questions you've set up or modified in the Company Settings.
