You can now create additional candidate screening questions for your candidates to complete when they express interest in a role 🤩.
Once created, these can be added to your jobs to enable you to ask for additional information and you can auto-reject those who are unsuitable for roles based on your current criteria.
❗Only users on the select plan and with manage account settings can add new screening questions - contact us at: [email protected] to find out more.

Just to add! Only users with manage account settings permissions can add a template:
Step 4: Click on the first box and enter the title of the question you wish to ask, followed by a short description in the label box. The label is seen when selecting the questions for a job, so this should be super clear to allow other users to know which one to select (If you are going to set up auto-rejection based on the candidates response then we would advise including this in the label):

Step 7: If you wish for this question to auto-reject candidates based on their responses (this is not applicable for a short answer question type), click the toggle to turn it on (green). For example, if you select ‘No’ as your desired outcome, candidates who answer as such will not be displayed in the portal but will be informed of this outcome via email:
You'll then get the option to select which answer/s you wish to reject responses for, select this from the drop-down menu.
Step 8: Select the email template you wish to send to rejected candidates from the drop-down menu:
