Prescreen Questions can also be created on the 'Applicant Evaluation' section of a Job posting, which can be added or edited via the Jobs listing. To create a Prescreen Question, navigate to this section and click the 'Add Questions' button and then 'Create a prescreen question'. 


The 'Create Prescreen Question' modal will appear where a question and its potential answers, along with other question settings, can be entered.



1) Enter question - Enter the new question

2) Select type - Select the type of question it is. Options include:

  • Multiple Choice
  • Yes / No

4) Score - The points given to the corresponding question response. The most desired response should have the highest score while the least desired response should have the lowest score 

5) Status - The response status. This can be set as one of the following:

  • Disqualify - Disqualifying responses will no longer allow the Applicant to be considered for the Job and will move the Applicant from the 'In Progress' status on the Applicants listing to the 'Disqualified' status
    • Example: Ensuring that an Applicant at least has a high school diploma
  • Normal - Normal responses are neutral and more focused on the Applicant's Score 
  • Fast Track- Fast Track responses move an Applicant on the Fast Track to hiring. However, only 100% Fast Track answers will qualify
    • Example: An Applicant has the designated years of experience, a degree, and is bilingual
  • Auto Fast Track- Auto Fast Track response should be selected for the single most important qualification that the Applicant needs to be successful in this position. Once the Applicant chooses the correct response for this, they will be marked as Fast Track regardless of how they answered the other prescreen questions, unless an answer disqualifies them entirely
    • Example: An applicant is CPR Certified
