Add screening questions and knock-outs

Ask candidates the questions you would ask on the phone, mark must-haves as knock-outs, and choose what happens to people who miss them.

Screening questions are answered when candidates apply. A knock-out question marks anyone who misses your must-have. It is free.

Add a question

  1. Open Jobs and click Screening & team on the job.
  2. Under Add a screening question, pick a Ready-made question: notice period, can join within N days, current CTC, expected CTC, works from the job location or will relocate, or languages spoken.
  3. Or write Your own question and choose the Answer type: Yes or no, Number or Choice.
  4. Set the passing answer: Yes/no that passes, Lowest that passes, Highest that passes or Choices that pass.
  5. Tick Required, and Knock-out if it is a must-have.
  6. Click Add question.

You can add up to 10 questions. Candidates never see which answer passes.

Choose what happens to people who miss a knock-out

  1. In When someone misses a knock-out, leave Reject them automatically off to have them marked Did not meet for you to look at.
  2. Or tick it to reject them automatically, a few minutes after they apply.
  3. Edit the Reason they are sent if you want your own wording.
  4. Click Save.

See the results

  • The page counts how many met the must-haves and how many did not. Click See who did not meet them.
  • On Applicants, the Screening & tests column shows each person's result and answers, and you can filter by Screening.

Good to know

  • Removing a question hides answers already given to it.
  • People who applied before you added questions show as not answered.
