Pre-qualifying applicants using mandatory questions makes it possible to check early in the application process whether they meet the basic requirements for a position.
This facilitates the initial screening and speeds up the recruiting process.
Defining mandatory questions for pre-qualification
1️⃣ Navigate to the "Qualification" tab → "Job Questions" and click on "Add question".
2️⃣ Select an existing library question or click “+ Create new question” to define your own job question.
3️⃣ If you select a question from the library, any subsequent changes can only be made via the "Customization" → "Question Library" settings section.
4️⃣ Toggle the "Pre-qualification" switch to use the question for the pre-selection of applicants.
Important notes on using mandatory questions
✔ Supported question types for pre-qualification: Pre-qualification is available only for the following question types:
Yes/No questions
Multiple-choice questions (response lists)
✔ Saving to the question library:
If you wish to reuse the job-specific question for other positions, activate the "Save to question library" toggle.
✔ Evaluating answers:
Applicant answers can be classified using predefined ratings:
Preferred ✅ → Applicant is an ideal fit for the role.
Neutral ◽ → Suitability is unclear; further review required.
Unsuitable ❌ → Applicant does not meet the minimum requirements.
💡 Tip: Clearly classifying answers saves valuable time during applicant screening and optimizes your recruiting processes.
Viewing & comparing applicant answers
You can view applicant answers directly within the relevant job posting and compare them clearly using filter options.
Use the "Preferred," "Neutral," and "Unsuitable" filters to sort applicants based on their ratings.
Compare the rated answers of individual applicants easily and efficiently.
The structured view allows you to see at a glance which applicants possess the best qualifications for the position.
If necessary, you can adjust ratings later to refine your assessment.
💡 Tip: A clear filtering strategy helps identify suitable applicants faster and makes the selection process more efficient.
