To define the field type, you must select one of the following field types for the question:

  • Yes/No - This question type lets you create questions with a yes/no answer option.
  • True/False - This question type lets you create questions with a true/false answer option.
  • Multiple Choice/Single Answer - This question type lets you create questions that are configured to have one correct answer within multiple answer choices.
  • Multiple Choice/Multiple Answer - This question type lets you create questions that are configured to have multiple correct answers within multiple answer choices.
  • Free Form (Essay) - This question type lets you create questions with a long text response. When the question appears on an application, a long text box appears so that the applicant can enter their written answer to the question.
  • Date - This question type lets you create questions with a date answer option.
  • Free Form (Short Text) - This question type lets you create questions with a short text response, rather than the longer text response that is available in the Free Form (Essay) question type. When the question appears on an application, a short text box appears so that the applicant can enter their written answer to the question.
  • Numeric Value - This question type lets you create questions that only need a numeric value entered. For example, you would like applicants to enter their preferred start date. You can create a Numeric Value question type in which applicants can enter the date. When the question appears on an application, a numeric text box appears so that the applicant can enter the value for the question.
  • Title and Instructions - This question type lets you add a header with optional notes before or inbetween prescreening questions. For example, if you would like to ask for an applicant’s references, you can add a title for the section called “References” with instructions that read, “Please complete personal information for at least 3 references below.” Then, you would add a Free Form (short text) question type for Reference Name, Reference Email, and Reference Role. If you create a new pre-screening question category type called “References,” you can add all questions at once when building your application workflow.
