Custom Questions Gather Important Candidate Information
When a candidate uses the Native Apply option to apply for a job, information is automatically sent to the employer directly from the platform. Common Native apply tools are Indeed Apply and LinkedIn Apply. Many of these tools forward the candidate’s resume to a designated email address. On Facebook a profile is provided via Facebook Messenger. For most employers this is simply not enough. There is a need to support multiple custom questions.
Examples of common custom questions on Native Apply applications include:
EEO Compliance Questions
Screener Questions
Availability
References
Permission to Contact a Previous Employer
Ideally, custom questions should be simple to answer and not overly time-consuming. By making custom questions easy to answer, employers maintain the appeal of Native Apply while still gathering the information they need. The most qualified candidates are often the busiest. Therefore, they want to be able to apply for their next job on their mobile device and in as little time as possible. By choosing to use Native Apply, employers get the best of both worlds – a quick application option for qualified passive candidates on the go and the ability to ask important questions.
