Custom application questions allow your organization to collect information from candidates when they are applying to a job. Candidate responses to custom application questions can subsequently be viewed and configured for reporting purposes.
Every custom application question can be configured to meet varying privacy concern your organization may have. Custom application questions can be configured with one of the following privacy settings:
- Standard
- Private
- API Only
In this article, we will provide an overview of Private custom application question and how to add a Private custom application question to an existing job post.
Private Custom Application Questions Overview
Candidate responses to Private custom application questions can only be viewed by Job Admins or above with the Can see private notes, salary info, manage offers, and approve jobs/offers user-specific permission.
Users without this additional user-specific permission will see the question asked on a candidate's profile but will not see the candidate's response.
Note: Private custom application questions are not included in a candidate export from the All Candidates tab but will be included in data pushes to your business intelligence connector.
