Prescreening Question

Prescreening questions are used to ask candidates about their career goal, job preferences, knowledge, and more. If a prescreening question is configured as required, the candidate can't skip it while applying for the job.

Here's an example of a prescreening question: "How good are your Java skills?"

Prescreening questions are created and managed by the Recruiting Administrator in the Question Library. When creating a prescreening question, the administrator can specify the classification of the question and can also contextualize the question based on the recruiting organization, location, job family, job function. When a recruiting user creates a job requisition, questions available for selection depend on the classification of the question and the context of the job requisition (recruiting organization, location, job family, job function).

The following question classifications are available:

• Prescreening Question Added Automatically: These questions are automatically added to a job requisition based on the context of the job requisition. The recruiting user can't edit, add nor remove these questions in a job requisition. If the recruiting user changes the context of the job requisition, these prescreening questions might be adjusted. Also, if the context of a question is changed, job requisitions without candidate applications will be adjusted to align with the automatically added questions (this happens when running a scheduled process).

• Prescreening Question Added by User: The recruiting user can manually add these questions to a job requisition, but the questions must match the context of the job requisition. Once there are job applications on the job requisition, the recruiting user can no longer add or remove these questions. Also, the recruiting user won't be able to submit a job requisition if manually added questions are invalid.

Prescreening questions can be manually added to job requisition templates by the Recruiting Administrator. When a recruiting user creates a job requisition based on a template, prescreening questions of the job requisition template are added to the requisition. The recruiting user can add and remove questions. If the recruiting user changes the context of a job requisition where there is no candidate application yet, disqualification questions and prescreening questions added automatically can be added to the requisition or removed if they don't apply to the context of the of requisition. This ensures that only questions matching the context of the requisition are included. In the case of questions added manually, the recruiting user won't be able to use them if they no longer match the context of the requisition.

The recruiting user can't edit prescreening responses provided by a candidate. This ensures that the information provided by the candidate is retained. Only when a recruiting user answered prescreening questions on behalf of the candidate can those responses be edited by the recruiting user.
