Add Questionnaires

When you save details about the job requisition template, the details page displays the Prescreening Questionnaires section and the Interview Questionnaires section.

  • The Prescreening Questionnaires section contains two empty questionnaires: one for internal candidates, one for external candidates. You can open the questionnaires and add questions from the questions library or create questions. When you create a question, the question becomes available in the questions library and available for use in other templates.
  • In the Interview Questionnaires section, you can add interview feedback questionnaires that contain questions used by recruiters and hiring managers to collect feedback on candidates during candidate interviews.

When you manually add a question, only questions matching the following criteria are available for selection:

  • Active questions.

  • Questions with the "Prescreening Question Added by User" classification.

  • Questions matching the context of the requisition template.

Add Screening Services

When you save the details of the job requisition template, the Screening Services tab becomes available and you can add screening services such as background checks, assessments, tax credits.

You can add one or more background check screening packages, usually it's a single package with several screenings. Once you've selected the desired background check partner and user account, go to the partner's site to add the background check screening packages to the job requisition. You can also specify the order in which the partner will run the screening packages.

You can add one or more assessments to a job requisition template. Select an assessment partner and user account. Specify if the assessment for the internal job application flow, the external flow, or both.

You can add one or more tax credit screening packages, usually it's a single package with several screenings. You then select the desired partner and user account, and also a location package, if needed. Indicate if the tax credit screening is triggered during the candidate application flow or the candidate selection process.

Enter Job Formatting Information

On the Job Formatting tab, you can select predefined descriptions of the employer, organization, department, or team for which the candidate is hired. The descriptions are created in the Recruiting Content Library.

You can also select images and videos you want to show candidates. For example, images of the facilities, video of the corporate history of the organization, video of testimonials from current employees. When you add a URL for a video, by default the Thumbnail URL automatically points to a high-quality version of the video. It's recommended that you add URLs of the type HTTPS to avoid displaying insecure items in a secure career site page. You can select specific images and videos to be shown to the candidates who will receive job offers.

Any image or video can be shown on the requisition and on job offers for that requisition as well, making them more interesting and more informative.

You can also select for which languages each item is available, and translate the media title in the appropriate languages.

When you're done, you can use the Preview action to see how the info in the job requisition template will be displayed. You can preview the info on a desktop computer or a mobile device. You can also select a career site and preview how the requisition will be displayed.

Activate Job Requisition Template

When you're done filling out all the details about the job requisition template, select Activate Template in the Actions menu. The job requisition template status is set to Active and the template can be used by recruiters and hiring managers when they create job requisitions.
