How can I enable screening questions?

In this article, you'll learn how to set up Talent Check for your job posting. Talent Check lets you enable pre-screening questions, define must-have skills, and configure additional screening questions so you get more relevant applications from qualified talents.

Setting up Talent Check

1. Select Talent Check
   After you've created your job posting, you'll see a selection with two options. Click on the Set up Talent Check card (with the green "Recommended" badge) to enable pre-screening questions and improve application quality. You can adjust these settings later in the Job Cockpit as well.

Configure your initial chat message

2. Create a chat message
   In the Initial Chat Message section, you have two options for creating your message:

   • Create message with AI: Automatically generates a personalized message based on your selection criteria
   • Take from another position: Uses an existing message from another job posting

3. Take message from another position
   If you want to use an existing template, a dialog will open showing all available positions. Select the position you want from the list (e.g., "Sales Manager") and review the message preview on the right side. Then click Apply to import the message.

4. Move to the next step
   After you've created your chat message (you'll see a green note saying "Your message contains a question - awesome!"), click Next.

Define must-have skills

5. Set skills and years of experience
   In the Must-Have Skills section, you can define up to three essential skills from the skills already added to the position. For each skill:

   • Select the skill from the left dropdown
   • Set the required years of experience in the right dropdown (e.g., "2 years", "5+ years")
   

6. Confirm skills and continue
   Once you've configured all your desired must-have skills with the corresponding years of experience, click Next.

11. Confirm product and service experience
    Click Next to continue.

    The talent uses sliders to indicate how many years of experience they have with the defined must-have skills (e.g., B2B, SaaS, Sales).

    For sales positions, talents are asked about their experience with specific products and services.

21. Industry experience
