Screening questions, knock-outs and auto-reject
Ask applicants up to 10 questions, mark knock-out answers, and optionally reject applicants who fail them after 24 hours.
Add questions
On the Add screening questions step of the job wizard:
- Choose Add a question, or pick from Ready-made questions (years of experience, notice period, relocation, shift willingness, two-wheeler and licence, languages, qualification, start date and more).
- Pick the answer type: yes / no, a number, one choice, several choices or short text.
- Ask up to 10 questions per job.
Candidates see your questions on the job page and answer them when they apply. Some answers are filled in from their profile.
Knock-outs
Set a knock-out on a question to say which answers meet your requirement, for example "at least 2 years" or "Yes". A question with a knock-out is always required. Text questions cannot have one. Candidates never see your knock-out rules.
In Candidates, each applicant is tagged Meets requirements or Doesn't meet: <question>, and the Requirements filter shows one group or the other.
Auto-reject
Turn on Auto-reject candidates who fail knock-outs for your company. An applicant who fails is then rejected 24 hours after applying, with a polite "not selected" email, but only if nobody has touched the application (still New, no interest mark).
To keep someone, choose Keep in pipeline, or change their status or interest within the 24 hours. Turning the setting off cancels every rejection still waiting.
