Adding questions
|
To add questions, make sure your role is set to “Draft” (and don’t forget to set the role to “live” after if you’re ready to receive applications). Setting your role status to “draft” ensures that candidates open the newest version of your application and are not caught between updates to your role. |
You can add interview questions and additional rounds at any point in the hiring process. |

Removing questions
|
You can remove questions if candidates have answered but have not been scored/reviewed on the question. If the question has been scored, we do not allow removing the question as this affects fairness and data. |
You may remove questions at any point in the process unless your team has reviewed more than 5 candidates using this question. After 5, we block removing questions to ensure fairness between candidates and to make sure changes affect as few as possible. |
You can remove questions only when there are no answers given to the question (these questions are automatically scored as soon as candidates answer them). You may need to set a role to draft to remove the question. |
You may remove questions at any point in the process, even if the question has been answered. |

What else should you do if you change questions after a role has gone live?
It's always good practice to let know any candidates who have already started their application. You can inform candidates by:
1. going to the Manager of the role for which you changed questions.
2. selecting all candidates (started and submitted applications).
3. sending them an email, by selecting the 'email candidates' option from the blue ribbon at the bottom with core manage tasks.
