What are template screening questions?

Template screening questions are created once and added to one or multiple application forms. This lets teams tailor candidate screening for specific roles without applying the same questions to every job listing individually.

What are application forms?

Application forms are job-specific forms attached to individual job listings. They include screening questions tailored to a specific role, so you can evaluate and filter candidates based on role-specific qualifications and requirements during the application stage.
