The Selection iGuide field allows recruiters to include an iGuide that has been specifically defined for the position for use during interviews. The iGuide provides interviewers with various sets of questions, at least one of which must be asked during the interview. The questions also include examples of acceptable responses. The applicant's responses are scored by the interviewer, and the score can be used to narrow down the number of applicants for the requisition.

To select an iGuide, click the drop-down and select the desired guide. The iGuides that are available for the position are defined during the Selection functionality configuration process. Selecting an iGuide is not required. Interviewers can view the iGuide from the Interview Manager page or the Statuses tab of the Applicant Profile page.
