Custom Questions let you add job-specific or organization-specific questions to your interviews. They help you go beyond standard assessments and tailor the interview to the exact requirements of the job or company culture.
Why use Custom Questions?
Evaluate candidates on role-specific criteria
Create a more personalized interview experience
Add flexibility alongside standardized assessments
Types of Custom Questions
You can create questions in different formats depending on the skills or responses you want to measure:
Open-ended – Candidates provide their own response
Yes/No – Simple binary answers
Number – Enter a numeric response
Choose Option – Multiple-choice answers
Similarity – Match or compare responses
Attributes – Rate or select specific attributes
Qualifier Question – Mark certain questions as qualifiers to filter candidates
