Ask a Question to a Candidate Based on an Answer

You can configure questions so that they're displayed to candidates based on their answers within the current application flow. The answer to a question might trigger another question.

This feature is supported for prescreening questions, disqualification questions, and questions within questionnaires.
  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
    • Task: Question Library
  2. On the Questions page, select Recruiting in the Subscriber field.
  3. You can create a new question or modify an existing one.
  4. Select the option Display the question conditionally.
  5. Select a controlling question.
  6. Select a controlling response.

Results:

The controlled question isn't visible to candidates at first. Based on the question logic, the controlled question renders dynamically if an appropriate controlling answer was provided.
Note: If a controlling question and its conditional question are added to a job requisition and later the controlling question is updated but not the conditional question, this will cause the conditional question to point to an old version of the controlling question. The conditional question will also need to be updated.
