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
- Open Jobs and click Screening & team on the job.
- 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.
- Or write Your own question and choose the Answer type: Yes or no, Number or Choice.
- Set the passing answer: Yes/no that passes, Lowest that passes, Highest that passes or Choices that pass.
- Tick Required, and Knock-out if it is a must-have.
- 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
- In When someone misses a knock-out, leave Reject them automatically off to have them marked Did not meet for you to look at.
- Or tick it to reject them automatically, a few minutes after they apply.
- Edit the Reason they are sent if you want your own wording.
- 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.
